Beltscan Systems and Belt Guard

beltscan-

Predictive protection, built for mining

Since 1979, Beltscan Systems has been a pioneer in conveyor belt monitoring and protection technologies for the global materials handling industry. Designed to maximise the safe working life of conveyor assets, Beltscan’s solutions span from advanced Rip Detection to Cover Thickness measurement. The flagship Belt Guard product family delivers a comprehensive system for proactive asset management.

Founded by the late Barry Brown, who introduced the world’s first commercial conveyor belt monitoring system, Beltscan has continuously led the industry in innovation and reliability. Today, Beltscan remains at the forefront, providing operators with real-time data and intelligent diagnostics to support safer, more efficient conveyor belt operations.

At the core of Beltscan Systems is the Belt Guard range, an integrated suite of instruments that can function both independently and as a combined solution. Tailored to suit the unique demands of steel cord and fabric conveyor belting, the range is grouped into three key areas:

Rip Detection

Beltscan’s systems continuously monitor for tears or punctures, without the need for embedded sensor loops. Systems trigger instant alerts for partial and total penetration rips, with built in halt functionality to stop the belt without manual intervention —minimising damage. When installed at the beginning stages of belt lifecycle, Belt Guard helps you stay ahead of costly belt replacements — keeping your operation running safely, and avoiding unplanned downtime.

Condition Monitoring

Beltscan’s automated condition monitoring systems continuously scan for issues like rips, edge damage, cover wear and tracking problems without the need for manual intervention. Real-time data and smart alerts mean your team knows exactly when and where to act, reducing downtime, extending belt life and keeping your operation one step ahead.

Cover Thickness Measurement

Track belt wear before it becomes a problem. Beltscan’s cover thickness tools measure the top and bottom cover profiles with precision, helping you schedule maintenance and replace belts at the right time — not too early, never too late. Extend belt life, reduce unexpected failures and make every metre count.

Each category includes fixed, portable, non-contact, and online configurations — ensuring scalability and flexibility for a wide variety of operational environments. The result is a holistic approach to conveyor belt monitoring, offering you unprecedented control, predictive insights and risk mitigation.
