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.

What’s the Developing Trend of Belt Conveyor?

Low-end products occupy a large proportion in belt conveyor industry, with the daily improvement of the technology, changes would be made in the future development of the belt conveyor manufacturer. The forthcoming belt conveyor system should contain the following 5 features:

1. High conveying capacity and speed;

This also means high productivity and low manufacture cost in unit time.

2. Long service time;

The abrasion between the conveyor belt and the roller is the main reason that restricts the service time of the belt conveyor. It needs further improvement in the future design.

3. Low cost of production;

Adopting non-roller support or non-contact support is the most efficient way to lower the belt conveyor cost.

4. Low power consumption ;

80% of the belt conveyor power is consumed in friction wastage. To reduce friction wastage, the most efficient way is adopting non-contact type belt conveyor.

5. More intelligent.

It would be closely associated with microcomputer and intelligent operation would be reached in the future.

Type and Feature of Belt Conveyor Tension Device

Tension Device is one of the core compositions in the belt conveyor, mainly used to supply certain tension force for the normal operation of the conveyor belt. Therefore, selecting proper tension device is the key to design belt conveyor. There are three types of tension device, in the following the feature of these three device would be introduced.

1. Screw-type tension device

The screw type tension device is installed at the tailing pulley of the belt conveyor and adjust the tension of the conveyor belt through regulating the screw to make it move.

It is generally applied in the belt conveyor with belt length less than 60 meters and small power. The series of belt conveyor tension device including 500mm and 800mm there stow kind.

2. Vehicle-type tension device

The vehicle-type tension device means installing the tail pulley on the movable vehicle, and use the steel rope to connect the vehicle and heavy hammer separately through the revising pulley, this automatically tension the conveyor belt by the gravity of the heavy hammer.

3. Vertical hammer type tension device

The vertical hammer type tension device is installed between the transmission pulley and the tailing pulley, and should be close to the site with least tension. It reacts quickly when the belt conveyor starts working with good tension effect.

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

What are Types Of Belt Conveyor Pulley Surface Coating?

 Belt conveyor pulleys play an important role in belt conveyor, such as transmitting traction for belt conveyor; changing direction of the conveyor belt; increasing the friction etc. Pulley surface coating on one hand,it can protect the conveyor belt from debris hurt ,on the other hand it can increase the friction between the conveyor belt and pulley, ensure normal conveyor belt running direction. 
There are 3 types of surface coating which we commonly used: smooth surface coating, herringbone coating, diamond coating. Usually, Smooth surface coating is used for bend pulley which can increase the service life of pulley, reduce the friction between conveyor belt and pulley cylinder, then the pulley surface will not be corroded by material. Herringbone coating is commonly used for the transmission pulley, since the transmission pulley drives running of conveyor, strong friction will generate on the transmission pulley, so we adopt herringbone coating. Herringbone coating is suitable for the belt conveyor which conveys material in one way,while the diamond coating can be applied to the reversible belt conveyor, which can realize the unloading material bidirectionally.

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.
