Step Analysis for the Installation Process of Belt Conveyor

There are seven steps in the installation process of belt conveyors, here are some tips analyzed by experts from PK machinery.

1 .Installation of the belt conveyor landing leg and intermediate frame

Please confirm the Centerline by using the theodolite before installation, then according to the centerline to find pile point location of each landing leg. If there is embedded iron, adjustment should be made according to the location of the embedded iron in order to facilitate the installation, each landing leg should be firmly welded with the embedded iron.

2 .Installation of the counterweight device

In this process we need to ensure the parallelism between the two force columns, and meanwhile ensure its verticality. Considering the safety, protective railings shall be immediately installed after finishing the installation of this device.

3 .Installation of the headstock, tailstock and drive device base

Firstly we should verify the install elevation and confirm the centerline. Then pay attention to the sizing block location and its number not more than 5 blocks. The thinner sizing block should be placed among the thicker ones and be firmly welded.

4 .Installation of the roller and carrier roller

Before the installation, we should check the rotary condition of the bearing and repair or change it in time if there is any problems in the rotating.

5 .The Unit Installation

The unit axis deviation is 0.02 mm; the radial error of coupling is 0.05 mm, the Clearance between the half couplings is 3 ~ 5 mm. the levelness and usage of the sizing block should also meet the specification requirements.

6 .The belt installation

The belt installation should be operated by the manufacture or the professional.

7. Oil the belt conveyor and make debugging

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.

We PK Machinery is the most professional manufacturer of  Vibrating screen, Bucket elevator, Screw conveyor, Scraper conveyor.Possessing the world’s most advanced technology, we are ready to meet any needs of customer with the goal of being the future global leader of mining machinery industry. Any questions of you will be highly appreciated, please contact us without hesitation.

Failure Analysis of Belt Conveyor Components

In the process of operation, failure of belt conveyor is inevitable, here PK Machinery will analyze the cause of belt conveyor failure.
1.Belt doesn’t rotate
After start-up of the belt conveyor motor, the belt of drive pulley idles and slips, belt can’t rotate, this failure is caused by insufficient belt tension, improper adjustment of tension device, overlong length, overloading start-up, coal piled in the tail part of belt conveyor.
2. Belt is easy to break
It is due to the large belt tension loose joint, poor quality of belt buckle, belt using for a long time, poor maintenance of belt, the solution is to tighten tension device, lower the tension ,change the new belt in time and strengthen the maintenance quality.
3. Reducer occurs abnormal sound.
The reason is due to the larger gap caused by serious wear of bearing and gear or screw is too loose, the solution is to replace the bearing, adjust the gap and repair or replace the whole reducer.
4.Reducer heats up too fast.
The reason is because of too much oil, poor heat dissipation performance, speed reducer is buried in coal pile, the solution is to adjust oil amount and remove the coal.

5.Reducer oil leakage.
The reason is due to the damage of sealing ring, the connecting surface of reducer is not uneven, the bolt is too loose, the solution is to replace the sealing ring, tighten the connecting surface and the bearing cap bolts.

 

6.Roller doesn’t rotate.
It is because of the damage of roller bearing, when coal powder enters into the roller sealing ring on both sides, it will be blocked and not rotate which makes the roller bend due to the large stress. The solution is replacement roller, reduce the height of discharging point and the landing point, or use the shock-proof roller at the landing point.

Shuttle Conveyor Introduction

Shuttle conveyor is designed for conveying material moves along a transport direction on the steel track which is usually installed on the top of the storehouse.Reversible conveyor mainly used to discharge material constantly in multi-point when the discharging points could move.
► Advantages

    1.Multiple discharge point

    2.Discharge continuously in long distance

    3.Two way running and discharging

    4.Compact structure with low height

    5.Convenient installation and maintenance

shuttle conveyor

► Application
Large capacity shuttle conveyor is mainly used for disperse and store the material, especially the materials need to discharge averagely in order to take full advantage of the space and then store more material. So it could be used in agriculture, power plant, raw material stocking, metallurgy industry, etc.
