FIELD: testing.
SUBSTANCE: in one aspect, presented is an apparatus for a conveyor belt system. The apparatus comprises a conveyor belt cleaning apparatus with an elongated support and a pair of fasteners configured for placement of an elongated support with the conveyor belt passing transversely. The apparatus comprises a cleaning blade configured to be functionally attached to the elongated support and engaged with the conveyor belt. The apparatus additionally comprises a sensor configured to detect at least one characteristic of the elongated support when the elongated support vibrates during operation of the conveyor belt. The processor of the apparatus is configured for use of at least one characteristic of the elongated support to predict at least one property of the cleaning blade. The sensor is therefore protected, while the necessary information about the conveyor belt system is simultaneously provided.
EFFECT: creation of a conveyor belt system equipped with a sensor.
