Three Types of Conveyor Belt Stretching

1. Elastic stretching
   1. Happens at the time of belt conveyor system acceleration or braking deceleration;
   2.  Happens at the time when pulling stress disappears, and can almost be fully recovered.

2. Structural stretching
   1. The possibility due to the conveyor belt fabric type is higher than that due to the textile type.
   2. In the fabrics that weaved according to traditional types, the frizzy

Yarn is easily to stretch when the belt conveyor system is loaded, certain part of this conveyor belt stretching is unable to be recovered.

3. Permanent change in length (permanent stretching)

Mainly caused by the fundamental fabric structure stretching, unrecoverable elastic stretching or structural stretching.

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.)

Installation safety technical measures and matters of coal mine belt conveyor

1. Please pave the conveyor belt in strict accordance with the belt central line that production department gives. Belt should be paved to make sure flat, straight, and below rollers complete and effective, sweeper should be conformed to the requirements, lining plate of head and tail frame, as well as the guardrail should be complete and reliable.
2. Belt conveyor parts should be transported according to the order of tail frame, middle frame and the head frame, after transporting to the designated location, please put them away as per the transportation order along the roadway.
3. Belt conveyor should be installed according to the order of head frame, middle frame, the tail frame, central line of each pulley belt conveyor should be in a straight line.
4. Belt conveyor parts should meet the requirements, the anchor bolt should be fixed and tighten reliably.
5.All sorts of protection device of belt (Anti-frog protection, speed protection, temperature protection, automatic water spray protection if overheat, deflection protection) after the installation is complete, please test each protection device to make sure they are and sensitive working in good condition.
6. Please set up a bridge for walking where people go cross the belt conveyor frequently.
7.The electric switch protection device must be completed which should be sensitive and reliable ,the protection setting values must conform to the requirements, and keep them from water and rain, there should be enough space for walking and repairing, cable should be placed neatly and in order, communication signal should be in good condition, light and sound should be clear and reliable, control signal device should be complete, sensitive and reliable, explosion-proof lighting lamps and lanterns should be installed.
8. Both the head and tail section of belt conveyor must be equipped with two fire extinguishers and fire sand box which is not less than 0.2 m3.
9. Sweeper installation must meet the production needs. Sweeper and conveyor belt surface must contact well to ensure appropriate tightness and uniform contact, please also make sure both the head and tail section must be equipped with a sweeper.
10. In the section that the roadway changes to slope where belt waves easily, to ensure the belt frame transition smoothly, you can by adjust the supporting leg of conveyor.
11.After completing all the installation ,ensure all rollers and the belt are connected in good condition, then you can commissioning the conveyor.
