For two large beef processing plants, one located in the southern United States (plant A) and one located in the northern United States (plant B), prevalence of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella was determined for hide, carcass, and facility environmental samples over the course of 5 months. The prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 (68.1 versus 55.9%) and ...

This paper presents research into the energy balance of stressing conveyor belts by impact processes. Research is described in areas measuring resistance to puncture, process, and effect changes height on tensile forces. Measurements were performed a rubber–textile belt with polyamide carcass. Hammers pyramidal spherical impactors used compare examined conveyor. Values obtained for maximum ener...

The ‘conveyor belt’ circulation of the Atlantic Ocean transports large amounts of heat northward, acting as a heating system for the northern North Atlantic region. It is widely thought that this circulation is driven by atmospheric freshwater export from the Atlantic catchment region, and that it transports freshwater northward to balance the loss to the atmosphere. Using results from a simple...

PT. X is a services and manufacturing company. Y one of some industrial companies use the X, biggest chemical fertilizer producer in Southeast Asia. PT uses 66 belt-conveyors for distributing material. In order to arrange maintenance schedule, used preventive calculations using Failure Mode Effect Critically Analysis method (FMECA). Preventive schedule conveyor belt’s components (belt primary c...

PLCs are used in many real world applications. In any industry to achieve automation PLC is the first choice. Traditional methods of bottle filling is time consuming and expensive. This method involved placing of bottles onto a conveyor belt and filling only one bottle at a time. Filling is a task that carried out by a machine which packages liquid products such as cold drinks, water or milk et...

This article presents an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture suitable for large scale sensor networks for condition monitoring. The developed technology has been applied and demonstrated for rotating conveyor belt rolls. Wireless sensor networks is a relatively new and emerging technology, not only capable of addressing a large number of applications in industry but is also applicable for hom...
