4B, a world leading supplier of bucket elevator and conveyor components, announces the release of its Nylathane™ line of industrial elevator buckets engineered for maximum durability and efficiency. Nylathane™ is a high-performance polyamide 6 (Nylon 6) based polymer that is toughened through the addition of an elastomer. Typical applications include ultra-high performan...

4B has just launched an ATEX version of its popular Milli-Speed, a loop powered 4 - 20 mA analogue output speed switch for PLC, DCS or stand-alone controllers. The Milli-Speed switch is designed to detect belt slip, belt underspeed, stop motion, low speed or zero speed on bucket elevators, conveyors, airlocks, mixers, fans, grinders and many other rotating machines. A...

The RG1 Level Sensor has been designed to indicate the presence or absence of bulk materials such as grains, pellets, chemicals, wood chips and other powders. The detection of material is achieved by a rotating paddle. If material impedes the rotation of the paddle, the motor topples of its axis and triggers an alarm. The RG1 has a variety of compatible paddles whi...

A grain storage facility of a large North American trading company was concerned that the bolts used to secure the overlap splice section of an elevator leg belt were prone to pull through. The nature of an overlap splice generates additional stress on the bolts in many ways. The two layers of belting are subjected to uneven contact force from the drive pulley. This make...

A more specialized use for the WDA switch is as a broken/slack chain detector on drag chain conveyors, or as a non-contact speed switch for screw conveyors. The sensor is used in conjunction with a PLC or with 4B's Watchdog™ Elite or A400 Elite control units. Two output signals are provided: one signal is a pulse output, representing each bucket detected: the second si...

• A set of Nylon flights that can be cut to accurate lengths depending on the desired overall width. These nylon flights are very strong and wear resistant but remain light- weight, therefore reducing the amount of power required to drive the chain. • A hollow pin made of alloy steel (the same material as the link) and case hardened to C57 - C62. This pin will take the ...

The manganese wear rails are available from stock as - 50mm x 10mm ‘V'' Groove. 4B''s drop forged chain is made of special heat treated high grade alloy steel, case hardened to Rockwell C57-62 with a ductile core hardness of Rockwell C40. 4B''s superior heat treatment technique provides the optimum forged chain link with a more resilient ductile core for shock res...

Product Features: Microprocessor controlled underspeed monitor Signals underspeed for bucket elevators, conveyors and all rotating machinery Inductive proximity sensor in 30mm diameter housing, which detects rotating metal target Single set-point ~ 20% underspeed 2 wire & 5 wire versions available Non-contacting & failsafe Compatible with the Whirligig speed ...
