The characteristics and application of belt conveyor

2019/01/22
The belt of belt conveyor moves according to the principle of friction transmission. It is suitable for conveying powder, granular and small pieces of materials and bagged materials, such as coal, gravel, sand, cement, fertilizer, grain, etc. The total length and assembly form of the belt conveyor can be determined flexibly according to the user's requirements. The driving device can be either electric drum or belt drive frame.

Belt conveyor is mainly composed of driving device, driving drum, conveyor belt, idler, tension device, cleaning device and so on.
The driving device transmits the driving force of the motor to the conveyor belt, which provides power for the continuous operation of the conveyor belt. It consists of motor, mechanical reducer, coupling and other components.
Driving drum of belt conveyor is a device for power transmission. It can be divided into single-drive drum and double-drive drum in actual production. It is usually connected and installed by special steel plate through welding. It has the advantages of simple transmission, easy assembly and disassembly.
The conveyor belt of belt conveyor is the part that pulls and carries the material, so the belt should have enough strength.
The supporting rollers of belt conveyor mainly provide enough support force for the belt, and the supporting rollers are distributed uniformly under the belt to ensure that the belt can run safely and smoothly when the load is large.
The tension device of belt conveyor provides sufficient pre-tightening force for the belt, so that there is a large friction force between the conveying belt and the drum when conveying material.
Cleaning device of belt conveyor is mainly used to clean the inclusions between conveyor belt, transmission drum and idler to provide a clean and safe operation environment for belt conveyor.

Belt conveyor can be used for horizontal or inclined conveying. It is very convenient to use. It is widely used in various modern industries, such as mine conveying, mining conveying and fertilizer production line conveying. According to the conveying requirements of the production process, the conveying system can be an independent or multiple conveyor, or can be composed of horizontal or inclined conveying system with other conveying equipment to meet the needs of production lines with different layout forms.
