Detector watches for coal conveyor
hotspots
Land Instruments has developed a conveyor fire detector for reducing the costs of damage due to coal fire or explosions as coal is transported throughout the plant.
Land Instruments has developed a conveyor fire detector for reducing the costs of damage due to coal fire or explosions as coal is transported throughout the plant, a dangerous point of the process particularly when highly volatile Powder River Basin coal is used Other products in the coal fire detection range include a Mill Fire Detector, Conveyor Fire Detector, IR Coal Fire monitor, Coal Pile Fire Detector and portable thermal imager, providing a complete fire detection service

Easy-to-use infrared radiation thermometers
Land Infrared has introduced a new range of compact infrared radiation thermometers for economical, easily implemented non contact temperature measurement.
More compact infrared radiation thermometer
With overall dimensions of only 18.6mm diameter x 118mm, the new miniature MF3 infrared radiation thermometer is ideal for continuous, on-line industrial applications in a tight corner
The conveyor monitoring system - the smallest high-speed scanner available - scans the coal as it passes along the belt preventing smouldering coal moving further into the plant by triggering alarms when customer-set temperature thresholds are reached.
This conveyor fire prevention engineering is designed to monitor the entire width of the conveyor.
Very small hotspots which would not be picked up by a single point system are detected and multiple hotspots can be detected simultaneously.
The high resolution measurement produced is an accurate and reliable surveillance of all the coal passing through the plant and gives a rapid response to any dangers.
This product not only minimises fire risk by improving the safety system of the plant but reduces plant operating costs.
It is an automated system, cutting out man-hours and it reduces damage and downtime costs, maximising belt-life and plant productivity by stopping problems before they incur expense.
The scanner is very easily installed with a number of temperature measurement ranges available.
This product is designed to suit the customer's needs above all, its settings able to be tailored to specific plant conditions.
The conveyor fire detector requires very little maintenance, designed to withstand the tough conditions of the coal transportation process. Request a free brochure from Land Instruments International ...
