There has long been a fundamental misunderstanding about the viability of x-ray inspection systems being used also for reliable checkweighing.
We all understand the legal and economic reasons for accurate weighing of products. A second reason is somewhat more subtle. Flagrant shipments of underweight products will quickly result in customer complaints and loss of business (and reputation!)

The perfect conveyor monitoring system
When it comes to preventive maintenance for your conveyor belt system, then apart from a conveyor belt lubricating system, you also need a conveyor monitoring system.
A conveyor monitoring system will combine predictive maintenance with preventive measures to give you maximum effectiveness and minimum downtime on your conveyor belt system.
Have you ever calculated how much even a minute of downtime can really cost you? If you haven’t then it is time you did it. It will prompt you to invest in a quality conveyor monitoring system.
Today, there are several companies that offer monitoring systems. But which one of the lot is most suited for you?
Features to look for
Most conveyor monitoring systems will provide you with real time information about chain speed, drive amps, drive hours, air take up pressure, chain wear etc.
However, it will definitely help you if the system uses a graphical interface rather than a purely technical one. For example, if you can see chain wears in a standard graphical interface of every ten foot section or even link by link, then it would be a great advantage.
Look for parameter alarm and mail notification systems which notify you before the problem occurs.
Another feature that most people want in their conveyor monitoring system is the chain wear indicator. Just as a particular section starts to get worn out, it will indicate you so that it can be replaced before it fails completely.
The price factor
While a quality conveyor monitoring system when combined with a lubrication system might cost you in the start, this cost will be totally justified in the long run.
You will save up considerably on downtime costs and even on replacing links of chains rather than huge sections of the belt.
