Conveyor Safety & Protection

One Coordinated System for Every Conveyor Fault

Nuisance trips, unplanned downtime and compliance exposure are what happen when conveyor safety devices work in isolation. Smart Series is Pacific Automation’s coordinated conveyor safety, protection and monitoring system, built to eliminate all three.

A System, Not a Collection of Parts

Each device does a job on its own - Smart Series is designed so they work as one.

1

Every Device Does a Job on Its Own

Emergency pull wire switches, belt misalignment detection, belt rip and tear detection, belt speed and slip detection, blocked chute detection and spillage detection each cover a specific failure mode along the belt.

2

One Monitoring Architecture, Not Isolated Devices

Every switch and sensor along the conveyor links back through a single signal line monitoring system, so a fault anywhere on the belt is identified and located, not just flagged - across a plant and over long distances.

3

Signal the Fault or Stop the Belt

Trip contacts wire into your existing control system to signal a fault for planned intervention, or trip the conveyor for an immediate controlled stop when safety demands it.

What You Get From a Coordinated System

Fewer nuisance trips, faster fault identification, less equipment damage and documented compliance.

Clock representing fewer nuisance trips

Fewer Nuisance Trips

Encapsulated switching and vibration-resistant terminals eliminate the nuisance trips that plague conventional pullkeys.

Gauge representing full conveyor visibility

Faster Fault Identification

A system, not a collection of parts - faults are identified and located along the conveyor, not just flagged.

Trend line representing reduced equipment damage

Less Equipment Damage

Detecting and acting on faults early reduces equipment damage and cuts maintenance costs.

Compliance, Site Conditions and Shutdown Options

Designed to AS/NZS 4024.3610:2015, built for what mine sites actually throw at it.

Compliance

Compliance

Documentation and evidence you can hand straight to a site auditor or regulator - not paperwork you have to reconstruct after the fact.

Site conditions

Site Conditions

Built to keep working through dust, vibration, moisture and the long, distributed runs that punish conveyor equipment.

Shutdown philosophy

Shutdown Philosophy

Some faults need a planned maintenance visit. Others need the belt stopped in seconds. Smart Series is configured so you decide which is which - not the device on its own.
