Do you Know About the Installation and Adjustment of the Pull Cord Switch on the Belt Conveyor?

Do you know about the installation and adjustment of the Pull Cord Switch on the belt conveyor?
Pull Cord Switch is commonly known as "emergency stop switch". When the belt conveyor need downtime, Pull Cord switch action will stop the conveyor. Pull Cord Switch can be divided into manual reset and automatic reset. Automatic reset: after action, it can automatically return to the initial position, may lead to error start. Manual reset: after action, the self-locking device can maintain the operating position, it need to manually reset handle to make its return to the initial position.
Pull Cord Switch should be installed on both sides of the conveyor where has a maintenance channel, installation position should ensure that the maintenance person operates conveniently in the event of an emergency.
1.Pull Cord Switch is fixed on the rack.
2.The distance of the two switches on one side is about 50 m, the two switches are connected by the diameter 4mm of wirerope, elastic should be moderate.
3.To reduce the influence of the weight of wire rope on switches, we install supporting ring on the frame every 3 m to support the steel wire rope.
4.The other end of the rope is in tension spring (with rope buckle), In a way not affecting the normal use, using tightener to pull the rope tension on both sides, and to ensure that tension is balanced on both sides.
(Note: The climbing section of the conveyor, should try to shorten the Switch spacing distance and the pull rope length.)

What Causes the Failure of Belt Conveyor Components and the Solution

Basically, we cannot avoid the failing in work of belt conveyor. The following several points are common phenomenon of belt conveyor components failure analyzed by PK Machinery. We hope to bring you some assistance.

1. The belt fails in rotating;

The drive pulley belt slips and turns without moving forward after the starting of the belt conveyor motor. The belt failing in rotating is due to the insufficient belt tension, overlong of the belt, inappropriate adjustment of the tension equipment, too frequent start-up and the coal piled up at the end of the belt conveyor.

2. Belt is easy to break ;

This problem is mainly caused by the large belt joint, poor belt buckle quality, long time use of the belt and the unprofessional belt maintenance. In this case, we should tighten the tension equipment, change high quality belt in time and improve the maintenance level.

3. Abnormal sound from the reducer

One possible reason is that the abrasive wear of the bearing and gear causes a large gap between them. Or it is because the screw is too loose. In this case, we should replace the bearing, mend the gap and maintain or replace the reducer.

4. Temperature of the reducer rises too fast

It is due to the over mount of lubricant, poor heat dispersion, speed reducer burying in coal. The lubricant oil amount should be reduced and the coal should be removed to solve this problem.

5. Lubricant leakage of the reducer

The main reason includes the sealing ring is damaged, the reducer surface is not flat and the bolt is too loose. In this condition, we should change the sealing ring, tighten the connecting surface and the bearing cap bolts.

6. The roller failed in rotating

If the coal powder falls into the roller sealing ring, it will block the conveyor roller and cause strong stress, then the roller would not rotate and even bend. And thus bring damage to the roller bearing. If this happened, we should replace the roller, lower the height of discharging point and the landing point, or use impact roller at the landing point.

Key Factors to Avoid Belt Skid of Movable Belt Conveyor

Movable belt conveyor is a portable continuous conveying equipment, which has the advantage of convenient movement, high efficiency and easy operating. It can convey bulk material, and bagged material is also in its working range.The lift angle and height is allowed to adjust. Belt skid problems may sometimes be meet in the daily operation, PK machinery is an expert in solving this problem, here are two suggestions:

1. Adjust the belt tightness of the conveyor.

The tightness is a key factor to impact the operation of portable belt conveyor. You can tighten the belt through screw tensioning or hydraulic tensioning to solve the belt skid problem. It probably causes permanent deformation to the belt if the tension range is not enough, in this case, we need to cut a piece of belt off and then vulcanize the belt.

2. If large range of tightness is required while using nylon or EP belt, we can also vulcanize the belt to solve belt skip problem and thus reduce damage to the conveying belt.

Do you know difference of TD75, DTII and DTIIA series belt conveyor?

Specifications of TD75, DTIIA, DTII series belt conveyors are the national standard of China belt machine, which represent three types of conveyors.During the model selection,the standard should be noticed. How to choose a proper type to save client’s cost? The following is the characteristics of the three types of conveyors:
TD75 series conveyor is the first standard belt conveyor, it can be used to convey small lump, granular, powder material, due to simple structure, low cost, easy maintenance, convenient maintenance, and large transport capacity,TD75 series belt conveyor becomes a common machine,it can be single or multi sets running to form a horizontal or inclined conveyor system.
DTII series belt conveyor is designed according to the components. The designers can design and assemble the conveyor according to the requirements of transportation, different terrain and working conditions,it has a wider use compared with TD75 type.
DTIIA series belt conveyor a heavy duty machine is mainly used to transport large density, large transport capacity and long transmission distance, conveyor selection is determined according to many parameters.

How to troubleshoot the daily malfunction of vibrating motor?

1. after connect the power supply, motor is unable to start, please check:

(1) if power supply is lack of phase;

(2) if motor is loss of phase;

(3) if protective cover is damaged or rub eccentric block.

2. after start-up, there is big motor noise or motor heats, please check:

(1) if the contact surface roughness of vibration machine and motor foundation is in line with the installation requirements;

(2)if the anchor bolts are not tighten up ;

(3) if the vibration acceleration is in line with the requirements;

3. after the adjustment of eccentric block, amplitude changes abnormally please check:

If eccentric block on both ends of the rotor axis is symmetrical;

4. when two vibrating motors of vibration machine vibrate at the same time, if its phase does not conform to the requirements, please adjust the phase sequence of the single unit, don't adjust the total phase sequence of two vibrating motors.
