Cord must be placed so that it can be used around the

machine in every place where the work can be done
during the operation. If the service platforms are situated
at both sides of the conveyor, the emergency switch
must be installed separately at both sides.

This switch selection can be used with upper or return

belt. The type of belt misalignment switch for normal
applications is HX23220, where the arm of the switch
turns perpendicularly sideways. In applications where the
conveyed material can go over the upper belt’s edge, it is
recommended to use an HX23221 type switch. In this type,
the lever arm turns 45 degrees in relation to the belt.

Available with two different switch options.

The single-contact pair switch is either to give a warning or
stop the belt conveyor in the event that the belt moves too
far to the side.
The dual-contact pair switch is generally to send a warning
to the control system and then stop the belt conveyor by
turning the lever further.

MEASUREMENTS TO THE CONVEYOR

The belt misalignment switch is installed in the drive end or in the take-up end of the conveyor and in long conveyors at
intervals of 90 meter. It is not allowed to install the switches in upward curves.

alarmson conveyors and discharge chutes. Ambient temperature -40°C to +121°C
The sturdy material metal box contains a ball operated Former name ES40
microswitch. The switch is opened when the sensor rod
reaches an indication of 17 degrees-informing of a blockage
or a level limit.

The level limit package includes the switch, the plastic coated
cord and the steel pipe with a wing plate. The wing plates
enchance the swing movement especially with fine materials.

The sensor rod can be shortened to the right length at

BLOCKAGE DETECTOR
HX235

HX235 is a membrane switch type of blockage detector. It KEY SPECIFICATIONS

belt conveyor chutes and silos. The purpose of the blockage Ambient temperature -40°C to +70°C
detector is to stop the feeding device and to prevent a Maximum particle size 100 mm
bigger jam and the damages caused by that.
Total weight 4 kg

In case of blockage, bulk material presses against the

membrane and the spring loaded metal plate turns away
from the sensing range of the inductive sensor.

The thicker textile reinforcement rubber membrane is meant

for materials which have bigger bulk density and particle size.
The thinner elastic membrane is meant for
low densities and fine particle sizes.

HX250-RX lower protective cover prevents the “airplane

wing” effect from occuring, i.e. the rising and uncontrollable
mevement of the belt caused by the wind. The lower cover
should be mounted to the leg or brackets of the conveyor
with self screwing screws.

Cover decks can be propped up during maintenance and

inspections. Three prop rods are included in delivery. The
support is locked to the mounting angle with a knurled-head
screw.
