Smart Roll

Conveyor belt monitor that is designed with a proximity sensor.

PPI developed and patented the unique Smart Roll which monitors conveyor belt speed. Designed with a proximity sensor protected inside our rugged idler roll, it creates an electronic pulse stream that must be interpreted by either a PLC or our Smart Monitor. When those interpreting devices are incorporated into the conveyor system, they can control shutdowns and warning alert systems.
