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.
