Title: Sven-Erik Haitjema-Burrough and Conveyor-Belt Safety Innovation.
Introduction
Sven-Erik Haitjema-Burrough is an inventor associated with Koog aan de Zaan, Netherlands, and Laitram, LLC. His patent work addresses the detection of disengagement between a modular conveyor belt and its toothed pulley.
Latest Patents
Haitjema-Burrough is credited with 1 patent: “System and Method for Detecting Belt-Pulley Disengagement.” The invention uses a laser transmitter and detector positioned on opposite sides of a conveyor belt wrapped around a toothed pulley. During normal operation, the belt intermittently interrupts the laser beam. If wear stretches the belt or debris becomes trapped between the belt and pulley, the belt may ride higher and block the beam for longer periods, signaling possible disengagement.
Career Highlights
His listed patent reflects an engineering focus on monitoring conveyor operation and identifying a mechanical problem through changes in a laser beam’s interruption pattern. Haitjema-Burrough is associated with Laitram, LLC, a company connected to conveyor technology.
Collaborations
Yorrick Mulder is identified as Haitjema-Burrough’s coworker. The available information does not specify whether Mulder collaborated on the patent.
Conclusion
Sven-Erik Haitjema-Burrough’s patented system applies laser-based detection to help identify conveyor-belt disengagement, linking his work with practical equipment monitoring at Laitram, LLC.
