Skirt type elevator

The skirt type elevator is a special type of belt conveyor, and the following is a detailed introduction about it:

Structural composition:

Rack: As the supporting structure of the entire equipment, it is usually made of metal materials with sufficient strength and stability to withstand various loads during equipment operation, ensuring that the equipment does not shake or tilt during operation.

Conveyor belt: It is the core component, generally made of materials such as rubber, PVC, PU, etc. It has high strength and wear resistance, and can withstand the weight and friction of materials. Unlike ordinary conveyor belts, it has skirts on both sides, which are made of the same or similar material as the main body of the conveyor belt and are connected to the conveyor belt through special processes.

Drum: including driving drum and reversing drum. The driving drum is driven by a motor, which drives the conveyor belt to operate through friction between the drum and the conveyor belt, providing power for the transportation of materials; The reversing drum is used to change the direction of movement of the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt can circulate according to the designed route.

Roller: installed on the frame, used to support the conveyor belt, reduce the sagging of the conveyor belt, and ensure the smooth operation of the conveyor belt. The types of rollers include flat rollers, groove rollers, etc., which can be selected and installed according to different conveying needs.

Tensioning device: used to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt, ensuring sufficient friction between the conveyor belt and the drive drum to prevent the conveyor belt from slipping. Common tensioning devices include spiral tensioning, heavy hammer tensioning, and hydraulic tensioning.

Drive device: composed of a motor, reducer, coupling, etc., providing power to drive the drum. Its power and speed are selected and matched according to parameters such as the conveying capacity and lifting height of the hoist.

Working principle: The motor drives the drum to rotate, and the drum drives the conveyor belt to move through the frictional force between it and the conveyor belt. The material is placed on the conveyor belt from the feeding end of the elevator, and due to the obstruction of the skirt edges on both sides of the conveyor belt, the material will not slide off from both sides of the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt moves, the material is lifted to the designated height and then unloaded from the discharge end, completing the lifting and conveying process of the material.

characteristic:

Large inclination angle conveying: The design of the skirt allows the elevator to transport materials at larger inclinations, generally reaching angles of 30 ° -90 ° or even higher, greatly saving space and suitable for places with limited space.

Leak proof material: The skirt edge can effectively prevent materials from leaking from both sides of the conveyor belt during transportation, reducing material waste and environmental pollution. It is particularly suitable for conveying materials that are prone to scattering, such as powders and granules.

Strong conveying capacity: It can continuously and efficiently transport a large amount of materials, and the conveying capacity can be designed and adjusted according to demand, which can meet the production operation needs of different scales.

Smooth operation: The conveyor belt runs smoothly, and the movement of materials on the conveyor belt is relatively stable, reducing material damage and wear, while also reducing equipment operating noise.

Easy to maintain: The structure is relatively simple, and each component is easy to disassemble and install, making it convenient for daily maintenance and upkeep.

Application areas: Widely used in industries such as food, chemical, building materials, mining, and electricity. For example, in the food industry, it is used to transport food raw materials, finished products, etc; In the chemical industry, it is used to transport chemical raw materials, granular products, etc; In the building materials industry, it is used to transport materials such as cement and sand; In the mining industry, it is used for transporting ores, coal, etc.
