Fixed Plant Conveyor Breakdown Repairs & Electrical Fault Finding

Belt rip detector trips, blocked chute microwave sensor faults, and high-voltage motor starter failures can halt large-scale mineral and bulk handling operations. Lectro Power Systems provides specialised electrical diagnostics, belt protection interlock servicing, and drive repairs for fixed plant conveyors across Western Australia.
Symptoms We Resolve

Common Fixed Plant Conveyor Faults We Diagnose & Fix

  • Under-Speed & Slip Switch Trips

    Diagnosing non-contact magnetic proximity probes, optical encoders, and underspeed monitoring relays on tail pulleys.
  • Belt Drift & Alignment Switch Lockouts

    Testing and realigning heavy-duty roller-arm drift switches and tilt sensors along conveyor galleries.
  • Blocked Chute Microwave & Tilt Sensor Faults

    Replacing clogged radiometric sensors, damaged tilt switches, and misaligned microwave transmitter heads.
  • Fluid Coupling & Motor Starter Failures

    Troubleshooting starter contactors, soft starters, and speed-matching slip switches on multi-drive heads.
  • Belt Rip & Puncture Detection Trips

    Repairing inductive loop antenna sensors, continuous conductive strip circuits, and optical rip detectors.
  • Long-Run Emergency Lanyard Open-Circuits

    Pinpointing broken tensioned safety switches, snapped pull-cords, and corroded junction boxes along overland runs.
