Guide Rail Makes Tripper or Bucket Elevator Perform Better

Guide rail is made of metal or other material to become groove or ridge which is a device that can withstand, fix and guide mobile device or reduce their friction. Longitudinal groove or ridge on the surface of guide rail is used for guiding or fixing machine parts. Moreover, it is also known as sliding rail or linear guides, used in the occasion of linear reciprocating motion. It has a higher rated load and can assume certain torque. At the same time, high-precision linear motion can be achieved in the case of high load.
Guide rail provides a precise operation track for the conveyor tripper car. Matched with the belt conveyor, conveyor tripper car can achieve the aim of discharging materials at any points in the certain length of belt conveyor through moving back and forth on the guide rail.

In general, guide rail is installed in the head, tail and middle part of chain bucket elevator. Also, it is usually made of wear-resistant steel and its surface is quite smooth, so on the one hand it can lessen the friction between chain and guide rail and reduce components depreciation rates, on the other hand it can prevent the chain being off tracking, so as to achieve the purpose of conveying materials efficiently.
PK Machinery adopts the best quality guide rail which is manufactured by Ma'anshan Iron&Steel that is best rail manufacturer in China, and it is used for conveyor tripper car and bucket elevator.

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.

Follow the Right Operation of Fixed Belt Conveyor, Otherwise Accident will Occur

1.Fixed belt conveyor should be fixed in accordance with the specified installation methods on the foundation;
2.Before start-up ,please check all the moving parts of belt conveyor, such as if belt buckles and bearing device is normal, if the protective device is complete, if the belt tensioning condition is adjusted properly before start-up;
3. Fixed belt conveyor should no-load start up, only when operation is normal, can you feed the material, feed material before starting up the conveyor is not allowed;
4. when units of belt conveyor operate in series, please start from the discharged end in order, only when the operation is normal ,can you feed the material;

 

5. When belt deviation appeared in the operation of the belt conveyor, please stop the conveyor and adjust timely, so as not to wear edges and increase the load;
6. The work environment and material temperature should not be higher than 50℃ and lower than -10 ℃;
7. The conveyor must not convey people, and people is not allowed to stand under the conveyor;
8. Stop feeding material before stopping the conveyor, only after stored materials are discharged completely you can stop the conveyor;
9. Belt conveyor motor must be in good insulation;
10.Do not use your hand to pull the belt in order to avoid accidents when belt slips.
