The Selection of Corrugated Sidewall Conveyor Belt

Corrugated sidewall belt is used for pulling and carrying purposes for corrugated sidewall conveyor. It consists of a baseband, corrugated sidewall and baffle. The corrugated sidewall connects with both sides of baseband while the baffle connects with both side of corrugated wall accordingly to a certain space.
1. Baseband 
The baseband appearance of corrugated sidewall belt is the same with ordinary belt ,but its lateral stiffness is greater than ordinary belt. Usually corrugated sidewall belt adopts special belt as its baseband, the tensile materials (core layer) can be divided into four kinds: cotton canvas, nylon canvas, polyester canvas and steel wire.
2. Corrugated sidewall
This series of products using S-type of corrugated sidewall.
3. Baffle
a) This series of product is recommended to use type T, type TS (B), type TC, type TCS (B) and type C baffles.
b) Type T and type TS (B) baffles are only suitable for conveyor angle β≤40 ° while type TC and type TCS (B) and type C of baffles are suitable for conveyors with any transmission angle.
c) Type C baffle is suitable for conveying viscous materials. On the other hand, if the conveying angle and material density are greater, then type TCS (b) baffle should be used.
d) The spacing between baffles is integral multiple of waveform of the corrugated sidewall. The spacing between baffles (TS) and height (H) are related to conveying angle β.  

Maintenance Tips of Conveyor Belt

In the use and storage of conveyor belt, it should kept clean, avoid direct sunlight or exposed to rain and snow, prevent contact with acid, alkaline, oil, organic solvent and other substances, and also located at least one meter away from heating device. The temperature of the storage should maintained at between 18-40 ℃ , the relative humidity should maintained between 50-80℃.In the storage period, conveyor belt should be placed in rolls, but not folding; in the placement, it should turn-over once in every seasons. Different types and standards layers number of conveyor belt should not be connected together while used, the best connection is used the bonded process. Type, structure, standard, number of layers for conveyor belt should be used according to the reasonable choice.

 

Conveyor belt operating speed generally not more than 2.5 m/s. For large lump size, material with large abrasiveness and fixed unloading device should use low velocity. The relationship between driving pulleydiameter and coating layer of conveyor belt, supporting of driving and bend pulley and also requirement for trough angle of idler roller should according to the design specification of conveyor belt, reasonable selection. Direction of feeding should along the operating direction of the conveyor belt, use chute in order to minimize the impact of material fall on receiving belt, reduce material’s free fall distance. The feeding section of conveyor belt should shortened the spacing of idler and use absorber idler as discharge section. The belt should use striker plate with moderately soft, to avoid the rigid striker plate will scrape the belt surface of conveyor belt.

The Role of Conveyor Belt Cleaning Device

The belt conveyor is often used to transport viscous materials, such as coal dust, mud, powder materials and etc.. Some of them will stick on the working surface of belt conveyor, which cannot be removed when discharged the materials. At this time, the adhesive material will then enter the return idler, the roller become dirty as attachment stick on it. Materials enter the roller casing, thereby increasing the radial and thrust load of bearing block, causing rapid wear of bearing. The materials deposit on the roller casing will tear the rubber surface of the belt conveyor, accelerate the wear out failure of belt conveyor. If sticky materials enter the tail bend pulley, it will stick on the surface of roller. The more the viscous materials stick on it, the greater the force of the sticky materials, which will result belt deviation and increase belt wear, leading to serious consequences.

The remaining material on the belt conveyor will increase the friction force on roller, sometimes it may cause the tear on the rubber surface of belt conveyor and also the layer of roller encapsulate. If the cleaning device can function well, it can prolong the service life of the roller, belt conveyor and etc.. This shows that the cleaning device has a significant effect on belt conveyor. In the process of operation, if you want to clean the sticky material on the tail bend pulley through anthropogenic removal, it often prone to serious bodily injury or death. Hence, in order to ensure the normal operation of the belt conveyor, the sticky material must be cleaned up by cleaning device before materials enter into the snub pulley.

Eight Factors will Affect the Quality of Conveyor Roller

Conveyor roller is widely used in various types of industries, however, most customers lack of the knowledge for choosing the suitable conveyor roller. Let’s show you what are the factors that affecting the quality of roller.

 

1. Roller radial runout (the index directly affects the stability of the conveying materials)
2. Flexibility (the index affects the life-span of the roller and belt, as well as the driving power of the machine)

3. Dust resistance performance(the index affects the life-span of roller)

4. Shock resistance performance (the index affects the life-span of roller)
5. Rotational resistance (the index affects the life-span of tape)
6. Axial carrying capacity (the index affects the life-span of roller)
7. Water resistance performance(the index affects the life-span of roller)
8. Axial string momentum (the index affects the life-span of roller directly)

Three Horizontal Sections of Large Angle Belt Conveyor

Large angle belt conveyor is suitable for the unit mass of 500 ~ 2500 kg/ m3 and the material large size of about 100 ~ 250 mm, the features of large angle belt conveyor are: simple structure, convenient maintenance, space saving and investment saving. Here PK Machinery will explain and introduce three kinds of horizontal section:

1. Upper horizontal section

In order to adapt to the requirement of different discharge height, the head frame is divided into low type frame (head frame height = 1000 mm), middle type head frame (head frame height = 1100 ~ 1100 mm) and high type head frame (head frame height = 1600 ~ 1600 mm).

Correspondingly, low type convex segment arc frame and low type middle frame support (matched head height = 1000 mm), middle type convex segment frame and middle type frame support (matched head frame height = 1100 ~ 1500 mm), high type convex segment frame and high type middle frame support (matched head frame height = 1600 ~ 1600 mm) will match with upper horizontal section respectively

2. Lower horizontal section

The lower horizontal section adopts low type middle frame support.

3. Inclined section

The inclined section of large angle belt conveyor adopts low type middle frame support. When the conveyor inclined angle β ≧ 45 °, we suggest adopting Ⅱseries low type middle support.

The connection of upper horizontal section and inclined adopts the convex arc segments frame , and the lower horizontal section and inclined section adopt concave segmental arc frame to connect so as to realize the smooth conveyor belt transition.

Why will Belt Conveyor Motorized Pulley Get Rusty

During the operation process of belt conveyor, it will occur some problems due to incorrect method of using or wear and tear, therefore, we need to know some knowledge in order to ensure the normal operation. Here PK Machinery will list some reasons why motorized pulley of belt conveyor will rust:

1. Electroplating time is not enough, it dues to the problem of process flow;

2. Air liquidity of the location where motorized pulley stores is not good, or the location is wet, it is may due to the large difference in temperature;

3. If the package sealing breaks, the motorized pulley may oxidate and get rusty;

4. The most important point is that before electroplating, the dirt on motorized pulley surface is not being cleaned well, it is also one of the reasons why the motorized pulley will get rusty.
