Warning devices

Warning devices from Sandvik are taking care of the conveyor and first of all the most expensive part of the conveyor, belt. The best guarantee for a trouble-free and economical operation is to prevent damages that might eventually happen in operation.

This selection of warning devices are designed to either stop the conveyor or just inform of the damages. These warning devices are based on the European standard EN620 and EN418 of the bulk handling conveyors. All devices are tested in the harsh climatic conditions in Scandinavia and can be ordered and operated individually.
