Poing near Munich, June 25th, 2025 – Roller failures account for 75% of all mechanical faults on conveyor belts. These failures often lead to unexpected production halts, high energy costs, and safety risks. REMA TIP TOP's innovative MCube RFP system precisely detects vibrations and can be seamlessly integrated into existing maintenance processes for predictive maintenance.
Modern conveyor systems face constant cost challenges, as even brief periods of downtime can result in significant expenses. Rollers account for approximately 40 percent of a conveyor belt's energy consumption. Even a minor blockage can double energy consumption. Maintenance is often reactive, i.e., performed only in the event of a fault or damage, which increases the risk of consequential damage or even fire.
The MCube RFP system from REMA TIP TOP records the vibrations of the roller bearings during an inspection in just three seconds with the “MCube RFP Mobile” version, while the “MCube RFP Fixed” system supplies real-time data directly to the maintenance management system. Both versions complement conventional maintenance routines, can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and significantly increase system availability. Whether as a mobile solution for changing locations or as a permanently installed solution for continuous monitoring - MCube RFP ensures that maintenance teams intervene exactly when it is really necessary.
"With MCube RFP, we offer a flexible, modular solution that provides precise data and helps sustainably reduce operating costs and increase safety," says Dr.-Ing. Daniel Kasperek, Head of REMA Engineered Technologies at REMA TIP TOP. "This allows plant operators to act proactively and minimize costly downtime and safety risks."
Thanks to MCube RFP, system operators benefit from significantly reduced maintenance and energy costs as well as increased availability of their conveyor belts. As part of the comprehensive MCube portfolio, the system complements solutions for belt thickness measurement, belt tear detection, steel cord inspection and X-ray diagnostics - for holistic maintenance concepts that combine efficiency, safety and sustainability.
