belt conveyor

Belt conveyor, also known as belt conveyor or belt conveyor. The following is a detailed introduction about the belt conveyor:

Structural composition:

Rack: It is the supporting structure of the belt conveyor, which plays a role in fixing and supporting other components. It is usually made of metal materials and has sufficient strength and stability to withstand various loads during equipment operation.

Conveyor belt: It is the core component of a belt conveyor, used to carry and transport materials. There are various materials for conveyor belts, including rubber, PVC, PU, etc. Different materials of conveyor belts are suitable for different materials and working environments. For example, rubber conveyor belts have good wear resistance and are suitable for transporting heavy materials such as ores and coal; Food grade conveyor belts comply with the hygiene standards of the food industry and are used in food processing and packaging.

Drum: including driving drum and reversing drum. The driving drum is a key component for power transmission, which drives the conveyor belt to operate through friction between the drum and the conveyor belt. It is usually driven by an electric motor through a reducer; The reversing drum is used to change the direction of movement of the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt can run according to the designed route.

Roller: Installed on the frame, used to support the conveyor belt and reduce its sagging and deviation. There are various types of rollers, such as flat rollers, groove rollers, and self-aligning rollers, which are suitable for different conveying conditions. Groove type rollers can form a certain groove shape on the conveyor belt, increase the stability of materials, and are suitable for conveying bulk materials; The self-aligning roller can automatically adjust the deviation of the conveyor belt to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Tensioning device: used to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt, ensuring sufficient friction between the conveyor belt and the driving drum to ensure normal conveying operation. The forms of tensioning devices include spiral, heavy hammer, hydraulic, etc. Different tensioning devices are suitable for different types and working requirements of belt conveyors.

Transmission device: It transmits the power of the electric motor to the driving drum, usually composed of couplings, reducers, transmission chains or belts, etc. The design and selection of transmission devices need to be determined based on parameters such as the conveying power and speed of the belt conveyor to ensure efficient and stable operation of the equipment.

Working principle: The working principle of the belt conveyor is to rely on the friction between the driving drum and the conveyor belt to drive the conveyor belt to move, thereby achieving material conveying. The material is placed on the conveyor belt from the feeding end of the belt conveyor, and is transported to the discharging end as the conveyor belt moves. During the conveying process, there is no relative motion between the material and the conveyor belt, thus avoiding damage to the material.

characteristic:

Strong conveying capacity: capable of continuously and efficiently conveying large amounts of materials, and the conveying capacity can be designed and adjusted according to demand.

Long conveying distance: It can achieve long-distance material conveying, reduce material transfer and handling links, and improve production efficiency.

Simple structure: The device has a relatively simple structure, making it easy to install, maintain, and operate.

Strong adaptability: It can adapt to different types of materials, including bulk materials, block materials, and packaged items; At the same time, it can also adapt to different working environments, such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, dryness, etc.

Smooth operation: The material runs smoothly on the conveyor belt, reducing material breakage and loss, while also reducing equipment operating noise.

Low energy consumption: Compared with other conveying equipment, belt conveyors have lower energy consumption and lower operating costs.

Application areas: Belt conveyors are widely used in various industries, such as mining, metallurgy, coal, electricity, chemical industry, building materials, food, light industry, ports, docks, etc. In the mining industry, it is used to transport materials such as ore and coal; In the chemical industry, used for transporting chemical raw materials and products; In the food industry, it is used to transport food raw materials and finished products.
