1. Accident cases:

During the underground ore transportation process of a mining company in Shanxi, the steel rope core conveyor belt broke, causing the conveyor belt to break suddenly, resulting in a 26-hour production interruption and huge economic losses.       

During the production process of a steel company in Henan Province, the conveyor belt joint shifted, causing the conveyor belt to deviate and tear. The company was shut down for several days and suffered huge production cost losses.

2. Reasons of these accidents:

1) The conveyor belt wire rope core itself has insufficient strength, severe rust, displacement at the joints, and broken cores that are not discovered in time, which leads to the conveyor belt breaking.       

2)  Many companies fail to implement adequate daily maintenance measures, and lack efficient and accurate detection technology, making it difficult to detect and repair potential defects in a timely manner.

Therefore, improving the reliability of conveyor belt transportation, scientifically predicting the deterioration trend of conveyor belts and accurately assessing the service life of conveyor belts are of great significance to ensuring the safe and reliable operation of conveyor belt equipment.

3. Scientific testing ways:

Luoyang TST Flaw Detection Technology Co., Ltd. has developed a conveyor belt multi-modal fusion AI intelligent safety monitoring system with excellent innovation capabilities. It performs dual synchronous detection of conveyor belts through AI visual image flaw detection + full magnetic detection mode, building a solid line of defense for the safe production of major enterprises and helping enterprises to operate more efficiently and safely.      

While ensuring the normal production, the system realizes comprehensive and uninterrupted monitoring of the safe service status of the conveyor belt. It can also use advanced predictive analysis technology to predict the potential deterioration trend of conveyor belt performance and effectively delay the premature scrapping of equipment.

The system can accurately capture the tiny displacement of the conveyor belt joints, hidden bulges, foreign matter intrusion, signs of deviation, and even complex conditions such as longitudinal tearing, transverse belt breakage, slight damage inside the steel rope core and surface wear, ensuring that every detail is under control.      

The system can also perform full magnetic non-destructive testing and AI visual recognition of damage and positioning of each conveyor belt during operation, one-button start and stop detection, comprehensive fault display, fault reset, damage alarm, real-time operation status display and other functions, realizing 365 days * 24 hours detection.
