AGGREGATES MANAGER / February 2018 7 Long-lasting belt repair cures quickly The Devcon R-Flex Belt Repair Kit, from ITW Polymers Adhesives North America, is said to provide rapid repair of gouges, tears, holes, and damaged cold vulcanized splices in styrene- butadiene rubber conveyor belts while offering flexibility, greater resistance to crack propagation, and a longer open time in hot climates. R-Flex is a mixable hybrid polymer that self-levels in three minutes, allowing repaired belts to be returned to service within 90 minutes of application. It can also be used to protect hinged and solid plate fasteners.

Cougar MDC12- 400/700 vibrators offer bulk material movement for sand/gravel/salt/fertilizer spreader trucks, concrete pump trucks, and volumetric mixer trucks. Able to be retrofitted to most standard brackets, the vibra- tors are said to use less current and run at a lower temperature while retaining the power of comparable models. The result is longer equipment life with lower operating expense and maintenance costs by reducing material buildup, slow unloading, clog- ging, and bridging. Martin Engineering | www.martin-eng.com Reliable distance and level measurements Hawk Measurement Systems offers the OptioLaser S200 distance/level sensor. The S200 Series uses an infrared semiconductor, GaAs laser diode. A light energy wavelength travels to the material being measured and any solid or liquid target in its path reflects back a percentage of the emitted energy. The unit calculates the distance, based on the transit time the laser pulse travels to the material and back. It can be used for blocked chute detection, barrier detection, stockpile monitoring, and point level measurement.
