Almex EMSYS BSG is a solution that cutting edge technological approach tocentering/training the belt. It utilizes actuators on each side of the conveyor todetermine the belt’s position and uses a hydraulic cylinder to turn idlers to steer thebelt back to its correct position.
ALMEX EMSYS BSG Electronic Belt Steering Station
The system is fully self-sufficient with one idler containing a generator for the steering and the other idler having internal battery storage and provisioning the power. For wide, heavier, overland conveyors, the steering mechanism can steer idler sets both in front and behind of the system to apply even greater steering force.
The unit can be installed at any point in the conveyor belt layout and can be used on either the carry or return sides. With the PLC capabilities, the alignment data and actuator control can be viewed remotely by via an application and/or integrated into existing site communication infrastructure.
The BSG sends application alerts to smart phones and tablets and the belt steering can be controlled remotely. The position of the belt and data around the tracking are displayed graphically and viewable remotely in real-time via the application. The BSG has an IP-65 rating, and is UL and CE approved.
- Exceptional performance – Self-contained power source delivers more steering force than any product on the market.
- Individual component replacement – All components
are replaceable; the unit is not a consumable item. - Easily functions in all conditions – Both wet and dry conveyor belts.
- Easy installation – Installs easily, at any point on the conveyor, carry side or return side.
- Performs on reversable conveyor belts – The unit does not rely on geometry or wearable components that lose their performance.
- Remote operation – The belt position can be viewed graphically and in real time video with the CCTV option. Alarms are sent to phones or tablets and then the system can be adjusted remotely Historical data is available.
- Centrally monitored – can be connected to a central control room and provide alerts or stop the belt if excessive tracking is detected.
- Expandable – On larger heavier conveyor the BSG can be expanded to move turn able idler frames for additional force. Some conveyors, due to the width or construction, will not respond to only the twin idlers. The hydraulic system can be connected to an idler set before or after the BSG which will turn in tandem with the unit to provide the maximum steering capability.
- Self-contained – It does not require a connection for any utilities. One of the idlers has an internal generator and the other contains a battery allowing it to be placed anywhere.
