Share History Between 1992-1996, Rampart Detection System’s head of R&D developed the patented BELT C.A.T. steel cord conveyor belt inspection system, which has scanned over a thousand belts at hundreds of minesites worldwide during the past 15 years. The BELT C.A.T. system was revolutionary, since it provided 3D graphical images of the flaws and splices within a steel cord belt similar to an X-Ray (predecessor steel cord NDT systems provided only two-dimensional data which was prone to interpretation error.) The BELT C.A.T. became a new NDT standard, allowing operators to audit new steel cord belt installations, evaluate splice integrity and assess conveyor belt flaws ahead of costly breakdowns. Introducing Rampart’s System Rampart devoted two years designing a new steel cord conveyor belt inspection system that dramatically supersedes the capabilities of all current steel cord conveyor belt NDT systems including BELT C.A.T.. The new Rampart BeltGard system is technologically novel, patentable and is destined to become the new state of the art throughout the global mining industry. For the first time in the history of steel cord conveyor belt inspection, Rampart’s novel BeltGard system will provide for a real-time steel cord belt monitoring system that was designed from the ground up to be rugged and permanently mountable, unlike previous attempts to adapt portable scanning systems. It will eventually incorporate a unique technology that will be able to prevent longitudinal belt rips via a future modular upgrade option. Advantages of Rampart’s Inspection System BeltGard provides true variable reluctance imaging of the SC carcass (it does not use magnetic leakage flux and does not require steel cord magnetization).   BeltGard is a permanently mounted real-time SC belt monitoring system (IP67 / shockproof belt sensor unit for conveyor belt widths up to 3.0m) that provides the conveyor system operator with a continuous display of overall belt condition, along with the detection of splice degradation and major defect alarms, and provides for on-site summary reports and remote off-site detailed report generation.   BeltGard provides a future upgrade path to add pulley bearing and conveyor drive vibration monitoring, as well as rip prevention at the load/chute impact area and crusher system protection.   Rampart Detection Systems Ltd.
