ESS – Bucket elevator protection: less slip, less downtime

PLC + HMI based monitoring for bucket elevators. Depending on the package, it monitors drum speed, belt slip, belt misalignment and bearing temperature – and intervenes when necessary.

A bucket elevator fault is not just one machine stopping – it can take down the entire process line.

Why do you need this?

Belt slip silently damages the system
Persistent misalignment → damages the belt and the elevator
Bearing overheating → an early sign of a bigger failure
In season, one elevator stopping triggers a chain reaction

ESS doesn’t just signal – it warns early and protects the machine.

I need an ESS system too
