A conveyor belt is a material handling system designed to move supplies, materials and components through an efficient and simple process that saves time, energy and costs. The design of the conveyor belts includes two motorized pulleys with the conveyor material wound on them. The conveyor belt is mainly composed of 2 or more pulleys and a conveyor belt enclosed in the tight sleeve. The pulley that rotates the conveyor belt is called a drive pulley; the pulley that only changes the direction of movement of the conveyor belt is called an inversion pulley or intermediate pulley.
When working, the drive pulley is driven by the motor through the reducer, and the conveyor belt rotates because of the friction between the drive pulley and the conveyor belt. Drive pulleys are usually installed at the discharge end to increase traction. The vertical blocks are distributed along the width of the belt on the conveyor belt with cleats. The function of bagpipes is to support the material and carry it at a wide angle.
When it is necessary to raise or lower materials, it is often necessary to use inclined conveyor belts, but the inclination has a certain limit. Generally, the upward tilt angle is not more than 18°. The flat conveyor belt has the structure and general characteristics of the conveyor belt, which is suitable for transporting light and irregularly shaped objects, such as postal packages, clothing, paper products, plastic products, etc. The flat conveyor belt is divided into built-in motor type, head transmission type and central transmission type.
The channel conveyor belt has a large load and transport capacity, the conveyor belt of the channel conveyor belt adopts a multilayer rubber belt, with a belt width of 500 mm, 650 mm, 800 mm, 1000 mm, 1200 mm and 1400 mm. The conveyor belt on the transport side is supported by a ribbed pulley consisting of 3 rollers (the channel angle can reach 45°), and the return pulleys are supported by flat rollers. Gutter conveyor belts are widely used in the electrical energy processing, steel, mining, port, cement, grain and feed industries. Gutter conveyor belts can transport bulk materials in large proportions, such as coal, ore, soil, chemical raw materials, cereals, etc.
The roll-up platform conveyor belt is a type of conveyor that uses several rollers that are placed on the fixed support according to a certain distance to transport goods. The roll-up platform conveyor belt is suitable for all types of boxes, bags, pallets and other cargo transport parts, and is mainly used to sort baggage from stations or airports. Universal wheels are installed on the bottom of the portable conveyor belt, which can be moved freely according to the stacking position of the materials, and are mainly used in environments with a small transport inclination angle. The portable conveyor belt is mainly used in places where loading and unloading locations change frequently, such as ports, docks, stations, coal plants, warehouses, construction sites, sand and stone plants, farms, etc.
A conveyor belt consists of two or more pulleys, with a continuous loop of material, the conveyor belt, which revolves around them. One or both pulleys are actuated, moving the belt and the belt material forward. The motorized pulley is called the drive pulley, while the pulley without power is called an intermediate pulley. There are two main industrial classes of conveyor belts: those that are generally dedicated to the handling of materials, such as those that move boxes inside a factory, and to the handling of bulk materials, such as those used to transport industrial and agricultural materials, such as cereals, coal, minerals, etc.
In general, companies that offer conveyor belts for the general type of material handling do not provide conveyors for handling bulk materials. In addition, there are a number of commercial applications of conveyor belts, such as those in grocery stores. The belt is composed of one or more layers of material. They can be made of rubber.
Many belts, in general, for material handling have two layers. A lower layer of material to provide linear strength and shape, called a housing, and an upper layer called a cover. The shell is often a woven fabric that has a 26% warp weave. The most common shell materials are polyester, nylon and cotton.
The cover is usually made of several rubber or plastic compounds specified by the use of the strap. The covers can be manufactured with more exotic materials for unusual applications, such as silicone for heating or chewing gum when traction is essential. For the most demanding applications, use heavy conveyor belts with a tension of at least 160 pounds per inch wide. The special conveyor belt is designed separately for transporting goods under special circumstances, which has a small range of applicability.
Consider the conditions under which your system will operate to ensure that the conveyor belt material has the appropriate thickness and strength. Motorized conveyor belts are ideal for industrial use because they are more reliable and efficient. The drive unit of such systems would include the motor support, the electric drive and any counterbearing. The retractable conveyor belt is the most efficient and used machine in the continuous transport of materials.
These Möbius strip straps are no longer manufactured because modern untwisted straps can be made more durable by constructing them with several layers of different materials. However, in this case, the intermediate frame completely surrounds the conveyor belt, helping it to retain the pipe section while pushing it forward. Conveyor belts can be used to transport products in a straight line or through changes in elevation or direction. Stores usually have conveyor belts on the checkout counter to move shopping items, and may use box dividers in this process.
Rubber conveyor belts are commonly used to transport items with irregular undersurfaces, small items that would fall between the rollers (e. In manufacturing and mining, enormous quantities of material are transported through tunnels, roads and up steep slopes on conveyor belts. The curved conveyor belt has been widely used in mining, metallurgy, chemical industry, power plants and ports, especially for long-distance transportation. A conveyor belt works by using two motorized pulleys that are wound over a long stretch of thick, durable material.
