How to select the conveyor belt for your conveyor?

Conveyor belt selection, make you embarrassed?

Many technicians have difficulties in the design and selection of the conveyor belt on the conveyor. Today, we will tell you what issues need to be considered when choosing the conveyor belt on the conveyor. It will not be so difficult to figure out these.

Materials conveyed by conveyor belt:

Under normal circumstances, you should consider the general characteristics, density, maximum particle size, etc. of the material; Under special circumstances, the presence or absence of oil or chemicals, the maximum temperature of the hot material, and flame retardant requirements should also be considered;

The maximum carrying capacity of the conveyor belt or the required maximum conveying capacity;

Belt width;

Conveyor belt speed;

Conveyor line layout:

• The distance between the head and tail pulley along the conveyor;
• The inclination of all up or down conveyor sections
• Lifting or descending height, or the top and bottom elevations of any upward or downward sloping conveyor section
• The position and radius of all vertical curves;

Conveyor belt drive:

• Single-roller or double-roller drive; if it is a double-roller drive, the total power of the motor is distributed on the first and second drive rollers;
• the wrap angle of the conveyor belt on the drive roller;
• the location of the drive device;
• the surface of the roller, smooth or rubber Surface;
• Glue surface type;
• Starting form used;

Drum diameter:

The diameter of the roller needs to be determined according to the actual requirements of the conveyor belt;

Conveyor belt tensioning device:

Type, position and tightening stroke;

Roller:

• Type, roller diameter, trough angle;
• roller spacing, including the length of the transition section between the head and the tail;

Conveyor belt feeding device type:

• The number of chutes;
• the free falling height of the block material to the conveyor belt;
• the length of the guide groove;
• whether the buffer roller or buffer rack has impact;
• the angle between the feeding and the belt;

The estimated minimum working temperature when used in cold climates;

The type of conveyor belt joint used: vulcanized joint or mechanical joint;

The type of conveyor belt cleaner used: vulcanized or mechanical.
