Smart Series Conveyor Safety & Protection System
Mining conveyors demand more than standalone safety devices, they require a coordinated protection system that reduce downtime, keeps you compliant, and protects critical assets.
Smart Series is Pacific Automation’s integrated Mining Conveyor Safety & Protection System. Emergency pull wire switches, belt drift monitoring, rip detection, speed sensing, blocked chute detection adn motor protection work together in a single intelligent architecture with distributed control and real-time diagnostics.
A system, not a collection of parts: faster fault identification, and full visability along the entire conveyor.
The Smart Series Range
Pull Wire Switches
Emergency stop pull wire switches engineered for high-vibration mining conveyors. Self-cleaning contacts and spring-loaded terminals eliminate the nuisance trips that plague conventional pullkeys.

Introducing Smart Series
Born from over 20 years of engineering experience working on conveyor belts within the mining and industrial sectors, Pacific Automation are the exclusive channel partner of Smart Series.
Smart Series offer conveyor control, safety, and monitoring devices designed to AS 1755 including belt rip detectors, emergency pull wire switches, blocked chute switches, drift detectors and more.
Your Complete Conveyor Safety & Protection Solution
Each Smart Series device - belt rip detectors, emergency pull wire switches, blocked chute switches, drift detectors and speed sensors is designed and built for tough Australian conditions and comes together as a solution with safety and protection in mind.
How the devices come together
Each device does a job on its own - Smart Series is designed so they work as one.
Distributed control and diagnostics link every switch and sensor along the belt, so a fault anywhere on the conveyor is identified, located and acted on through a single architecture rather than a chain of isolated devices.
Tailored to your site's requirements
Compliance
Meet and document your AS 1755 obligations, from device design through to site audit.
Site Conditions
Built to keep working through dust, vibration, moisture and the long, distributed runs that punish conveyor equipment.
Shutdown Philosophy
From early warning for planned intervention to an immediate controlled stop when safety demands it.
Where Smart Series works
Mineral Processing
Crushers, transfer points, reclaim systems and plant feed conveyors, where dust, vibration and abrasive material make belt faults a daily risk and continuous flow is everything.
Bulk Handling
Coal, iron ore, quarry operations, ports and stockyards - heavy loads and long, distributed conveyor runs that need protection along every metre.
Bulk Handling Applications
Bulk handling operations place continuous strain on conveyor systems. Heavy loads, abrasive materials, long conveyor runs and harsh site conditions increase the risk of belt drift, blockages and mechanical wear.
Our conveyor control and safety accessories are selected for demanding applications including coal handling, iron ore processing, quarry operations, ports and stockyards. Devices are built to withstand dust, vibration and moisture, and are suited to long-distance and distributed conveyor systems.
This helps maintain safe, reliable material movement while reducing unplanned stoppages across mining and heavy industry sites.
Monitoring and Controlled Shutdown
Small conveyor faults often become major failures when they are not monitored correctly. Belt drift, slip or blockages can cause structural damage, belt failure and extended downtime if left unchecked.
Integrated monitoring provides continuous feedback on belt alignment, speed and material flow. When faults are detected, control systems can trigger early warnings or initiate controlled shutdown sequences to protect equipment.
Early detection and managed shutdown helps reduce equipment damage, extend belt life and minimise maintenance costs, while improving overall system reliability.
