Chain breakage monitoring
for curve conveyor
The LUBING chain breakage monitoring for the curve conveyor is a control system that is specially designed for use with the LUBING curve conveyor. The chain breakage monitoring continuously checks the running of the conveyor chain for chain breakage during the system’s operation.
Due to the chain breakage monitoring system, egg loss and damage to the conveyor system can be reduced to a minimum, as the system stops the entire conveyor system and puts it out of operation if necessary (chain breakage).
The system consists of two position switches with adjustment roller levers. For longer conveyor sections, additional switches can be added as required. As a rough recommendation, two switches can be planned for each drive unit.
One switch controls the upper chain, and one switch controls the lower chain. The roller levers slide over the conveyor chain while the system operates. In a failure (chain breakage), the roller levers swing back to zero because the position switches can no longer detect the conveyor chain. The conveyor system stops.
