To help bulk material handling operations address conveyor belt misalignments, a common issue in quarrying and mining, Tru-Trac Rollers has introduced its Apex Taper Trough Tracker, the next leap forward in belt tracking technology.
That conveyor belt mistracking is one of the most common causes of unscheduled downtime in conveyor systems is no overstatement. Belt misalignment causes spillage, belt edge damage, damage to the structure, increased power consumption and increased labour costs. Misaligned belts will ultimately result in lost production, increased operating costs and safety hazards.
Innovative features
To help mining and materials handling operations prevent this from happening, Tru-Trac Rollers has brought to market its innovative Apex Taper Trough Tracker, the ultimate misalignment solution for conveyor belt systems. Available in four types – Standard, HD, XHD and EXHD – the range ushers in a new era with an array of innovative features. Key among them is the combination of the tapers and in-line idler configuration mounted on a unique centre pivot, providing fast reactive and continuous belt tracking in all conditions.
“The pivot system has been enhanced significantly. The upgraded system now includes enhancements for durability and better protection against dust, especially in fine dust environments,” explains Douglas van der Westhuizen, Technical Sales Representative at Tru-Trac Rollers.
