The belt conveyor is composed of the following key components:
Conveyor belt: The core used for transportation. Rubber belts are suitable for environments ranging from -15 °C to 40°C and can handle materials below 50°C (high-temperature materials above 50°C). Plastic tape is resistant to oil, acid and alkali, but it has poor adaptability to climate. Bandwidth determines the transmission volume.
Roller device: Grooved rollers support loose materials; Flat rollers for specific items; Self-aligning idlers prevent the belt from deviating. Buffer idlers reduce the impact of materials on the belt.
Roller device: Drive rollers (single roller, double roller, multiple rollers) to transmit power; The reverse roller assists the operation of the belt ring.
Elastic device: Ensures belt tension and reduces slippage. The types include screws, counterweights and vehicle tensioning devices.
Belt conveyors are widely used:
Industrial manufacturing: Transporting materials between production processes, for example, auto parts on assembly lines and raw materials in steel mills.
Mining industry: The processing plants or storage areas that move minerals from the mining face to underground and open-pit mines.
Food and beverage industry: Use sanitary belts (PVC, PU, PE) to handle products from production to packaging.
Logistics and warehousing: Sorting, loading and unloading goods in warehouses, e-commerce centers and airports.
The application scope of belt conveyors:
Material type: Processing powdery, granular, small block and bag-shaped materials. Special belts for high-temperature and acid/alkali containing materials; It is generally applicable to materials below 60℃.
Working environment: It can be operated both indoors and outdoors. Some are dust-proof, moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant, suitable for harsh areas such as coastal areas or cement plants.
Conveyor layout: Horizontal arrangement, up and down inclined arrangement. Fixed type for bulk materials; It is mobile and flexible, and has a leak-proof function.
Technical parameters of belt conveyor:
Belt width: Common sizes: 500mm, 650mm, 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 1400mm, determined by the size and volume of the material.
Conveying capacity: Varies, from items weighing less than 100 kilograms to large systems with hundreds of tons per hour.
Conveying speed: Adjustable, ranging from a few meters to several hundred meters per minute, as required.
Power: Depending on capacity, speed and material properties, those with greater power are used for large-scale industrial applications.
