Our Story

Pioneering Conveyor Belt Intelligence Since 1979

Since 1979, Beltscan has been helping belt conveyor owners maximise the safe working life of their assets. Our late Founder, Barry Brown, was the first person in the world to offer commercial conveyor belt monitoring.

In the early 2000s, Beltscan focused on developing next-generation monitoring and protection technologies, building on tried and true techniques but delivering elements that were missing from other products in the market, whilst eliminating unwanted drawbacks.

Today, we offer the Belt Guard range — a holistic family of instruments providing belt conveyor operators with the information and protection necessary for maximum safe working life.
