A large flour milling company has
reclassified its mills from agricultural
processing to food processing and
new procedures are being adopted.

Breakage of V belts driving
sterilising equipment was
viewed as a potential
catastrophic circumstance.

Should belts break,
contaminated flour could get
into the milling process,
incurring time and financial
losses. SensSystems was approached
with the view to fitting Sensslip
Critical belt monitoring devices to
the sterilising equipment.

SensSystems produces a range of
belt monitors including Sensslip
Energy for energy wastage
indication, Sensslip Maintenance and
Sensslip Critical which monitors belt
slippage and in the event
of belt breakage or load
stall circumstances can
switch off the steriliser’s
drive motor or raise an
alarm in an asset
management system. The
success of the system has
prompted the milling company to
install units at all critical control
points across its asset base.
