In all kinds of material conveying scenarios, the conveyor belt, as a key component, plays a vital role, and its performance directly affects the conveying efficiency and cost. The following will be an in-depth introduction to the conveyor belt from the core features, application scenarios, comparative advantages, purchase and use points and frequently asked questions.
First, the core characteristics of the conveyor belt
(1) High strength and durability
The use of high-strength fiber fabric as the skeleton material, such as polyester, nylon, etc., gives the conveyor belt strong tensile strength, can withstand the continuous transmission of heavy load materials, effectively extend the service life, reduce the frequency of replacement, and reduce maintenance costs.
(2) Excellent wear resistance
The surface is covered with rubber or special wear-resistant materials, which shows excellent wear-resistant performance in the process of frequent friction with materials and conveying equipment components, and can run stably for a long time even under harsh working conditions to ensure the continuity of conveying.
(3) Good flexibility
With just the right flexibility, it can easily adapt to a variety of complex transmission lines, such as bending, tilting, etc., to ensure smooth and smooth transmission of materials, while reducing the risk of fracture caused by insufficient rigidity.
(4) Chemical stability
It has strong tolerance to common chemical substances, such as acids, alkalis, oils, etc., and can still maintain stable performance in the corrosive environment of chemical, petroleum and other industries to ensure the safety of transportation.
(5) High temperature/low temperature resistance
According to different application requirements, the conveyor belt with corresponding temperature adaptability can be selected. High temperature conveyor belt can work normally in high temperature environment, such as metallurgy, cement and other industries; The low-temperature conveyor belt is suitable for cold storage, polar and other low-temperature places to ensure that the material is not affected by temperature.
2. Typical application scenarios
(1) Mining industry
It is used for long distance and large volume transportation of bulk materials such as ore and coal. In the harsh mining environment, the conveyor belt needs to have the characteristics of high wear resistance and high strength to cope with the impact and wear of heavy materials.
(2) Food processing industry
The conveyor belt is required to meet food-grade hygiene standards and is made of non-toxic and pollution-free materials. It is commonly used in the production and packaging line of bread, biscuits, meat and other food to ensure the safety and hygiene of food.
(3) Logistics and warehousing industry
In automated sorting systems and express transfer centers, conveyor belts are tasked with delivering all types of packages and goods quickly and efficiently. The running characteristics of light load and high speed put forward higher requirements for the flexibility and running stability of the conveyor belt.
(4) Agriculture
It is used for conveying grain during harvesting, threshing, drying and storage. The conveyor belt needs to have good anti-viscosity to avoid the adhesion of grain particles on the conveyor belt, affecting the transportation efficiency and material quality.
(5) Port and wharf
As an important equipment for bulk cargo handling, conveyor belts play a key role in the loading and unloading operations of ore, coal, grain, etc. It needs to have salt spray corrosion resistance, high strength and other properties to adapt to the harsh Marine environment and heavy duty operation needs.
Three, compared with the advantages of traditional transportation
Type of traditional manual handling simple mechanical conveyor conveyor conveyor conveyor Low efficiency, large labor intensity, high limited by equipment, continuous, efficient transportation costs, high labor costs, high equipment maintenance costs are relatively low, long-term operating cost advantages are obvious transport distance is short, limited by manpower, limited by mechanical structure, limited by long, It can achieve long distance continuous transportation with poor adaptability, difficult to adapt to complex working conditions, weak adaptability to special environments, and can be customized according to different working conditions
Fourth, purchase and use precautions
(1) Selection and matching
According to the characteristics of the conveying material (such as weight, particle size, corrosion, etc.), conveying distance, conveying capacity and working environment and other factors, select the appropriate conveyor belt type, specification and material. For example, conveying high temperature materials need to choose high temperature conveyor belts; Corrosion-resistant conveyor belts should be selected for conveying corrosive materials.
(2) Installation and debugging
Ensure that the tension of the conveyor belt installation is moderate, too tight will easily lead to premature wear and fracture of the conveyor belt, too loose will appear slippage, affecting the transmission efficiency. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the installation accuracy of the conveyor belt and the driving roller, the roller and other equipment components to avoid the conveyor belt deviation.
(3) Routine maintenance
Regularly check the surface wear of the conveyor belt, repair or replace the parts with serious wear in time; Clean the material residue on the conveyor belt to prevent the material accumulation from causing damage to the conveyor belt; Regular lubrication of driving rollers, idlers and other equipment components to ensure flexible operation.
(4) Storage requirements
The conveyor belt should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated environment, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature and high humidity environment, to prevent the conveyor belt aging and deformation. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid contact between the conveyor belt and sharp objects to prevent scratches.
Answers to frequently asked Questions
(A) Q: How to choose the right conveyor belt material?
A: Select according to the characteristics of the conveying material and the working environment. If the delivery of food needs to choose food grade conveyor belt; Working in high temperature environment, high temperature resistant conveyor belt should be selected; In corrosive environments, corrosion resistant conveyor belts should be selected.
(2) Q: What should I do if the conveyor belt goes astray?
A: First check whether the tension of the conveyor belt is uniform, if there is deviation, adjust in time; Secondly, check whether the driving roller, roller and other equipment components are installed parallel, if not, calibrate; A deviation correction device can also be installed on the conveyor belt to automatically correct the deviation problem of the conveyor belt.
(3) Q: What factors affect the service life of the conveyor belt?
A: Mainly affected by the nature of the conveying material (such as hardness, particle size, corrosion, etc.), the working environment (such as temperature, humidity, pH, etc.), the material and quality of the conveyor belt, installation and use methods, and daily maintenance and other factors.
As the core component of modern material conveying system, conveyor belts play an indispensable role in various industries. Through reasonable selection, correct installation and careful maintenance, the conveyor belt can provide a strong guarantee for the efficient production of enterprises.
