OUR SOLUTIONS

Understand your belt.
Protect your operation.

Conveyor belt monitoring and inspection technologies that turn condition data into practical maintenance decisions for mining and power generation plants.

01 / CONTINUOUS MONITORING

Spot damage.
Plan the response.

Continental’s CONTI Protect range monitors different risks, from longitudinal rips to cord damage, splice changes and surface wear. Select the technology to match your belt construction, operating conditions and critical failure modes.

CONTI® CordProtect system illustration
Magnetic cord monitoring

CONTI® CordProtect

A permanent magnetic system for steel cord belts. It scans magnetised cords during operation to identify damage and compare splice condition with recorded reference data.

  • Locates cord damage and tracks changes over time.
  • Supports user-set alarms and damage reports.
  • Prioritises repairs by damage size and position.
Belt speed
Up to 10 m/s
Standard belt width
600–3,500 mm
Belt rating
Up to ST10000
Enclosure
IP65

For steel cord belts where visibility of internal damage and splice deterioration supports planned maintenance.

Rip, cord and splice monitoring

CONTI® MultiProtect

A permanent magnetic system that detects longitudinal rips through magnetised inserts embedded in the belt. With a flat sensor, it also monitors steel cord damage and splice integrity.

  • Maps and monitors embedded rip inserts.
  • Flat-sensor configuration adds cord and splice analysis.
  • Suitable pipe-belt configurations also monitor orientation.
Belt speed
Up to 10 m/s
Standard belt width
600–3,500 mm
Temperature
−40 °C to +70 °C
Enclosure
IP65

For combined belt protection. Available functions depend on belt inserts and sensor configuration.

Inductive loop rip detection

CONTI® RipProtect

A permanent radio-frequency system for fabric or steel cord belts with embedded inductive loops. It checks passing loops against a belt map to identify a possible longitudinal rip.

  • A damaged loop can trigger an alarm or conveyor stop.
  • Optional RFID identifies loops and assists synchronisation.
  • Supports two independent monitoring locations.
Belt speed
Up to 10 m/s
Standard belt width
600–3,500 mm
Belt construction
Fabric or steel cord
Protection
Sensors IP67; control IP65

For rip-risk monitoring near loading zones and other selected points. Requires compatible embedded sensor loops.

CONTI® SpliceProtect system illustration
Splice elongation monitoring

CONTI® SpliceProtect

A stationary magnetic system that measures the separation of markers embedded in steel cord belt splices. Changes in splice length are monitored relative to operating tension.

  • Identifies individual splices using magnetic markers.
  • Detects critical elongation and can stop the conveyor.
  • Sensors can be mounted above or below the belt.
Belt speed
0.5–8 m/s
Splices per system
Up to 128
Length resolution
0.4–0.05 mm
Protection
Sensors IP65; cabinet IP55

For high-tension steel cord conveyors, particularly inclined systems where splice integrity is critical.

CONTI® TotalProtect system illustration
X-ray belt inspection

CONTI® TotalProtect

An X-ray system that scans steel cords and rubber covers while the conveyor runs. It detects changes from the belt’s reference condition and identifies the location and size of defects.

  • Monitors cord damage, corrosion and misalignment.
  • Identifies cover damage, wear and splice changes.
  • Can reveal foreign material trapped within the belt.
Standard belt speed
Up to 6 m/s
Belt width
Any width, subject to design
Temperature
−20 °C to +50 °C
Enclosure
IP65

For critical, high-abuse steel cord belt applications needing visibility of internal and cover condition.

CONTI® SurfaceProtect system illustration
Non-contact laser monitoring

CONTI® SurfaceProtect

A laser and optical sensor system that measures the moving belt’s cover profile. Software builds a digital surface map and evaluates defects against adjustable thresholds.

  • Detects cuts, gouges, impact damage and abnormal wear.
  • Reports defect size and position for repair planning.
  • Supports full-width or partial-width scanning.
Belt speed
Up to 10 m/s; resolution varies
Belt construction
Flat steel cord or textile
Scan rate
Up to 3 kHz
Sensor protection
IP67

For ongoing surface monitoring, especially on belts that are difficult to inspect manually.

Technical figures summarise Continental’s published product information. Suitability, performance limits, interfaces and installation requirements depend on the selected configuration and site conditions. Confirm the final specification with our team.

02 / PERIODIC INSPECTION

Scan the condition.
Prepare the maintenance.

Mobile inspection technologies provide a condition snapshot without a permanent installation. Findings help maintenance teams locate damage, investigate wear patterns and prepare work for planned shutdowns.

CORD & SPLICE INTEGRITY

CONTI® CordInspect

A mobile magnetic inspection service for steel cord belts. Scanning identifies cord damage and splice condition, with a report showing the position and extent of findings and individual damage images.

BELT GAUGE & WEAR

CONTI® WearInspect

Temporarily installed laser sensors measure overall belt gauge along its length. Reports map thickness and wear patterns to support belt-life assessment and investigation of uneven wear on fabric or steel cord belts.

DIGITAL SURFACE MAPPING

CONTI® SurfaceInspect

A mobile scanning system that maps belt-cover topography in 3D. Surface damage and wear can be reviewed from the digital map, helping plan cover repairs and investigate recurring damage before a shutdown.
