Through the use of sensors, they detect misalignment of the belt and correct its directional precision.

This also reduces or prevents damage to the edges of the conveyor belts. With these positioning systems, operators not only achieve substantial reductions in terms of material losses, they also reduce their maintenance costs.

Flexco offers solutions for different belt tensions and belt dimensions that are easy to install.

For belts that only migrate to one side, the Flexco Belt Positioner offers a simple and adaptable system that is easy to install and maintain.

The fixed, angled rollers always hold the belt straight. This system is only installed in the subspace. It is suitable for belts with a maximum tension of 210 Newtons per millimetres and belt widths of 450 to 2400mm.

Flexco recommends the PT Smart series whenever belts are exposed to moderate tensions of no more than a maximum of 280 Newtons per millimetre.

Sensor rollers detect whenever the belt starts to move out of alignment. The unique pivot-and-tilt movement then returns the belt to its correct alignment position.

PT Smart can be installed in standard size for belt widths of 400 to 1800 and up to a thickness of 25mm. Flexco also has such positioning systems in its portfolio specifically for use in underground mining applications.

These are made of materials and components that have been specially adapted to withstand the unusual temperature and application conditions that exist in these harsh environments.
