Full definition
Detection system that identifies longitudinal belt tearing and stops the conveyor in under 1-2 seconds to minimize damage extent. Technologies: transverse cable loops embedded in the belt (Rema Tip Top, Continental), inductive sensors under the conveyor, and vision-AI cameras. Required on long mining conveyors per MSHA and local mining safety regulations. Reduces the average cost of a belt rip event from USD 50,000 to under USD 5,000 by limiting propagation length.
