Tubarão Belt Conveyor Innovation
An optical sensor to detect material fall has been installed on the coke conveyor, aiming to reinforce environmental controls at ArcelorMittal Tubarão.
The equipment works in the early detection of material fall, identifying possible accumulation and generating a warning to the Coal Yard Control Centre. The improvement, part of the Belt Conveyors Preservation Program also contributes to reducing damage to conveyor integrity and to a safer and more sustainable workplace.
