The HALO system can identify and report information when the system has a worn blade and automatically removes blockages by disengaging from the belt, cleaning the blade, and then re-engaging the blade with the belt to the correct tension.
All whilst the plant is still running.

Keeping conveyor belts clean, prevent spillage, carry back, and blockages in processing bulk materials.

The HALO system offers complete condition monitoring and reporting through an easy-to-use performance dashboard. Featuring intelligent auto-cleaning technology, the HALO system is ideal for use in head drum areas that are difficult to access or hazardous, making it the perfect solution for materials processing facilities that run 24/7 with limited maintenance resources. With a quick return on investment and tangible savings, the HALO system is the ultimate game-changer for the Waste & Recycling, Mining, IBA, and Aggregates industries.

Prolong the life of your conveyor belts

The HALO system’s effectiveness ensure that the benefits and savings are tangible and provide immediate savings.

  • Many conveyor belts are hazardous to access for maintenance teams due to the material being processed or the location of the belts
  • It is time-consuming and costly to attend to cleaning continuously and to undertake preventive maintenance, remove blockages and clean spillages from carry back
  • Costly repeated stoppages were occurring, which prevented stable production from being achieved on high-value lines.
  • Following intensive research and testing through 2019, the innovative duo produced an industry-leading, multi-award-winning, cutting-edge technology named the HALO (Hoverdale Automated Linked Operation).
  • In conveyor head drum areas with enclosed chutes that are not easily visible or accessible
  • In conveyor head drums that are at heights and hazardous to access
  • In conveyor head drum areas that are in confined spaces
  • Processing plants that are running 24/7 and have no weekly downtime to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of belt-cleaning systems
  • Sites that have limited maintenance and cleaning resources
  • Keeping site staff out of harm's way in areas that process toxic or hazardous materials
  • For the processing of corrosive materials

The HALO system quickly became a game changer for materials processing facilities. The technology is patent-pending and now operates in several industries:

  • Sand
  • Aggregates
  • Waste
  • Energy Recovery Facility
  • Material Recovery Facility
  • Wood Processing & Recycling
  • Waste Water Treatment
  • Cement
  • Asphalt
  • Food & Beverage (FDA Approved)
  • Animal Waste
  • Plastic Recycling
  • Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA)
  • Stainless steel construction to protect against corrosive materials and extreme weather conditions
  • Systems available for belt widths from 400mm to 3000mm wide
  • Avoid material trapped between the blade and the belt, causing tears and premature damage
  • Reduces spillage and carry back through effective blade cleaning and constant contact with the belt
  • Auto-adjusting as the blade wears, no need for manual intervention
  • Damper system to effectively monitor and manage heavy material impacts to ensure when material composition changes, it can be identified through fault signatures
  • Complete conditioning monitoring and reporting to an easy-to-use performance dashboard
  • Intelligent auto-cleaning technology to ensure trapped material is removed quickly, preventing blockages
  • Designed and entirely manufactured in Britain in-house by the Hoverdale team
