Belt Conveyor, also known as the belt conveyor, commonly known as the "belt" machine, is a conveyor belt as a traction component, as a bearing component, through the tension between the conveyor belt and the transmission drum friction resistance as a tractive force can run continuously transport equipment.
Main structural composition：
1. Conveyor belt: It is an important part of the belt conveyor, generally accounting for about 50% of the conveyor cost. It should have the characteristics of high strength, good corrosion resistance, good flexibility, etc., and is composed of flexible core, upper and lower covering layer and edge protection layer that can withstand tension and have a certain width. Its main types are ordinary conveyor belt, steel rope core conveyor belt, steel wire rope traction conveyor belt and wavy rib conveyor belt.powered flex conveyor
2. Supporting device: mainly rollers, the function is to support the conveyor belt, reduce the running resistance of the conveyor belt, and make the sag of the conveyor belt does not exceed a certain limit to ensure the smooth operation of the conveyor belt. According to its use, it can be divided into trough roller, flat roller, aligning roller and buffer roller.
3. Drive device: composed of motor, coupling, reducer and drive drum group and control device. The driving drum is a part that transmits power, which is divided into steel smooth drum, rubber coated drum and ceramic drum.conveyor solutions
4. Tensioning device: The function is to make the conveyor belt have enough tension, ensure that there is enough friction between the conveyor belt and the driving roller, so that the conveyor belt does not slip, and limit the sag of the conveyor belt between the supporting rollers.
Working principle：
The conveyor belt is formed into an endless ring belt around the drive drum and the tail drum, and the conveyor belt is supported by a roller to limit the flexion sag. When working, the drive drum is driven by the motor through the reducer, and the conveyor belt is continuously moved by the friction between the drive drum and the conveyor belt. The transported items are transported to the unloading place with the conveyor belt by the friction between it and the conveyor belt.
Auxiliary Equipment
Key points of selection：
1. Conveying capacity: According to the actual production or logistics needs, determine the volume or weight of the required material per hour, so as to choose the appropriate bandwidth and conveying speed of the belt conveyor.
Screw Conveyor2. Conveying distance: Long distance conveying should choose a belt conveyor with sufficient strength and appropriate tension control, and may also need to consider intermediate drive or additional tension device.conveyor equipment
3. Material characteristics: the particle size, density, humidity, viscosity and other characteristics of the material will affect the choice of conveyor belt and the operation performance of the conveyor, such as sticky materials may require special conveyor belt surface treatment or cleaning devices.
4. Working environment: In high temperature, low temperature, humidity, dust, corrosive gas and other special working environment, to choose the corresponding protection level and material of the belt conveyor and parts to ensure the normal operation and service life of the equipment.
