Brief Introduction of Belt conveyor Sweeper Type

Belt conveyor sweeper is one important part of belt conveyor, there are totally three types of belt conveyor sweeper: carbide belt conveyor sweeper, H type alloy rubber belt conveyor cleaner, P type alloy rubber belt conveyor cleaner.

1.Carbide belt conveyor sweeper

The Carbide belt conveyor sweeper is installed at the head pulley with the texture of scraper adopting carbide alloy. There are generally two types of it: single piece belt conveyor sweeper and double pieces belt conveyor sweeper. It realizes thoroughly material cleaning by changing the pressure beard by the conveying belt from the scraper through adjusting the balancing weight.

2.H type alloy rubber belt conveyor cleaner

It is installed at the head place of the pulley close to the conveying belt, principally applying the rubber elasticity. Meanwhile, the scraper texture is changed to Carbide scraper from rubber. It is placed close to the surface of the conveyor belt after the separation of the material with the conveyor belt.

3.P type alloy rubber belt conveyor cleaner

It is also installed at the head place of the pulley with the installation site similar to that of the spring sweeper. Besides, it shares the sweeping principle with the H type alloy rubber cleanser.

Suggestions on Lubricating Points and System of Belt Conveyor

As we all know, regular maintenance and proper maintaining methods is essential in the daily operation of the belt conveyor.  Poor maneuverability would appear if the equipment has been used for long time, therefore we need to clean and lubricate the conveyor. Here our experts share some suggestions on the Lubricating points and methods with you.

  1.Lubricating Points

The lubricating points contains motor bearings, roller bearings, shaft sleeve bearings, bearing, gear reducer, the roller bearing and so on.

Roller is the most commonly used rotating parts of the belt conveyor, its quality and service life has a great influence on the belt conveyor running efficiency and reliability. The roller is equipped with bearing. Due to the gear reducer, its structure is relatively concentrated, with many parts needed lubrication, such as bearing pedestal, bearing gear and the meshing gear. In contrast, the structure of the roller bearing and motor bearings is relatively dispersed, especially the belt conveyor with long conveying distance. Each part is singly equipped with lubricating device.

2.Lubricating system

•  Manual lubrication system

The manual cleaning separator grease station should be installed in the center of the lubricating system. The distributer should be fixed in the device which needs lubrication, with its installing station convenient for observation and maintenance. Cold rolled seamless steel tube can be generally chosen as to the texture of the lubricating pipeline.

• Electric lubrication system

The electric lubrication is generally installed in the central part of the electric lubrication system, and usually need to set up special lubricating state with assurance of tidy and clean. The differential pressure switch is generally installed at the end of the main pipe line, behind the switch there should be installed a distributor. The piezometer however is commonly installed near the switch. The requirement for the texture is same as that of the Manual lubrication system.

Notice! Prohibit the following things during the operation of mobile belt conveyor

During the operation of mobile belt conveyor, if we operate it in the wrong way, it may lead to short service life, conveyor damage, even hurt the operator, please see the following things which are prohibited during the operation of the mobile belt conveyor:
1. Prohibit turning on the switch before making sure all nuts and bolts are tighten.
We usually disassemble the mobile belt conveyor during transport process. Customer needs to assemble it on site. If the nuts and bolts are loose, they may fall off during operating, thus, it will be a great potential safety hazard.
2. Prohibit changing the conveyor head direction before shutting down the switch.
Please shut down the switch first if when you want to change the conveyor head direction, or it will be easy to hurt the operator.
3. Prohibit moving the conveyor before shutting the switch
Mobile belt conveyor is a kind of light- weight conveyor, it can be moved anywhere, however, please shut down the switch first before moving it to ensure the safety of the operator.
4. Prohibit standing under the conveyor.
Please note, prohibit standing under the conveyor no matter operate the conveyor or not.
