Fenner Dunlop Australia will unveil a new 24/7 conveyor diagnostic and alert system at AIMEX in Sydney in late August. The round-the-clock alarm system is designed to alert users the instant any significant steel cord damage or splice damage is detected – and the nature of the problem. It also incorporates a splice monitoring system for the remote measurement of splice elongation. “This can help prevent a common form of splice failure in fabric and solid woven belting,” said the company’s sales and marketing representative, Alana Beaton. Other new Fenner Dunlop products on display at AIMEX will be:

• Ultra Tuff belting for high wear applications
• High impact utility belting
• A mine approved fire-resistant and anti-static (FRAS) heavy duty, lightweight nylon roller
• Hi-Integrity Splicing (HIS) technology which Fenner Dunlop has introduced into Australian mining operations for rubber-plied belts.

Beaton said Fenner Dunlop aimed to provide innovative, value-adding conveyor system solutions with measurable, sustainable results and an emphasis on safety. In Australia, the Fenner Dunlop Group consists of Fenner Dunlop, Australian Conveyor Engineering (ACE) (acquired in October 2012), Leading Edge Conveyor Services (LECS) and Statewide Belting. “This merger of expertise and capability is a key step in the roll-out of Fenner Dunlop’s engineered conveyor solutions strategy,” Beaton said. “It provides our customers with the benefits of integrated solution packages comprising system design, equipment supply and installation as well as complete after-market support covering condition monitoring, diagnostics and ongoing service.
