Suggestions on Lubricating Points and System of Belt Conveyor

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.

How to Extend the Service Time of Belt Conveyor

One main factor of impacting the belt conveyor service time is the conveyor belt quality. Therefore high quality of conveyor belt is required in purchasing. Another main factor is that the sweeper is highly reliable to make sure no more material adhered to the return belt, in case they are next sent to the surface of the drive pulley and bend pulley, thus bring damage to the belt and shorten its service time:

Due to how to greatly expand the service time of the belt conveyor, Followings are some suggestions:

1. Avoid belt slipping on the drive conveyor pulley. Please find the reason and give prompt adjust if slipping appears.
2. Check the conveyor belt joints frequently. Damaged conveyor belt joints should be repaired or replaced in time.
3. Check the service condition of the belt conveyor roller regularly. Properlubricating grease should be added into the sealing machine in the maintenance, and also inflexible rotating rollers should be replaced immediately.
4. High quality of lubrication should be added into all rotating parts of belt conveyor periodically according to the requirement.
5. Ensure the good work condition of the cleaning device and replace damaged parts in time.
6. Regularly check the conveyor belt tensity. Prompt tension is needed if the belt is loose. Meanwhile please notice the belt position, timely adjust should be made when it’s off tracking.

Why will Belt Conveyor Pulley Wear?

Belt conveyor is a kind of common conveyor equipment, often used in a variety of material transportation with large throughput, stable performance. In the process of using, pulley may occur wearing, this phenomenon is caused by two reasons:
One reason is that the design gap between roller bracket and pulley is too small, at the same time, building foundation hole vertical distance is less than the pulley support distance.In the process of belt running, overlarge belt tension will result in the change of its traction.Return accretion has not been cleared up, which will form accumulation debris and occur rubber friction.For design factors,as the space between pulley stents and pulley is too small, and the base hole of the vertical distance is less than the pulley support distance, it is not easy to handle timely, which is the main cause of pulley rubber lining wear.
Work environment factor is the second reason leads to rubber lining equipment damage phenomenon.

Belt running deviation and skid processing method of belt conveyor

• Running deviation has many reasons, according to the different reasons , we need to different treatment:

1. Adjust the carrying idler group.
2. Install the self-aligning roller group.
3. Tension adjustment, tension adjustment is an important link of belt conveyor running deviation.
4. Adjust the driving drum and redirection roller position. And the adjustment of the redirection roller driving drum is an important part of the belt running deviation adjustment.
5. Two-way adjust deviation of belt conveyor.

• Belt skid treatment method:

1. Adjustable tension when the belt conveyor in skid trip to increase tension. Sometimes tensioning trip has not enough, however, belt in the permanent deformation , the belt can be cut part to and sulfide.
2. In the use of nylon belt or EP,tension travel is longer,  when tension trip has not enough, sulfide or increase tension to solve.
3. Heavy hammer tensioning belt conveyor belt skid can add weight to solve,  added until not skid. But should add not too much, avoid belt  bear too much unnecessary tension and reduce the service life of the belt.

Ways to Maximize the Performance of Belt Conveyor

During application of belt conveyor, it is beneficial to reduce operating resistance by using high precision conveyor rollers and high performance belt. Revolving resistance of rollers and forward resistance of belt conveyor account for 50% main resistance in belt conveyor. If the belt conveyor length is more than 80m, main resistance will be influenced by device condition, friction coefficient related to real working condition, conveyor length, rotating quality in unit length of roller, belt quality, material property, etc.
Apart from above mentioned influential factor, we can refer to the following ways to maximize the performance of belt conveyor:
1.Reduce or adjust belt deviation;
2.Add lubricating oil to components of belt conveyor;
3.Clean up the sundries produced in transportation promptly;
4.Tension force of belt conveyor should be adjusted the best status;
5.Please add oil to conveyor pulley at fixed period to ensure smooth rotation;
6.It’s better to adopt vulcanized joint, though it costs too much money, it can keep a longer service life(especially suitable for fix belt conveyor).

The application of conveyor belt fluid coupling

Fluid coupling is a used fluid transmission component. Motor drives coupling pump wheel rotation, pump impeller blade agitates intracavitary working liquid, under the centrifugal effect,pump wheel turns mechanical energy into liquid energy, then passes to the turbine blades, turbine passes the absorbent liquid energy to the machine.
Fluid coupling has the function of flexible transmission,slow down the impact and the isolation of torsional vibration, prolong the start-up time, reduce the starting current,make the motor light load start-up, solve the problem of heavy large inertia load start-up difficulties and protect the motor when overloads, energy and power saving effects are remarkable.
On the conveyor, fluid coupling has the function of connecting motor and reducer ,it replaces the mechanical coupling. The belt conveyor fluid coupling has two effects:
1.Overload protection
If the belt conveyor is overload, fluid coupling slip frequency increases, working fluid warms up, fluid coupling will spray without burning motor to a certain temperature. Of course sometimes coupling will be installed with a temperature control device, when work liquid superheats, temperature control device can control the motor and cut the power cut to protect the motor.
2. Flexible-start
When motor starts,belt conveyor starts slowly and acceleratedly , this can reduce the grid big impact to make the motor start up in light load. At the same time,it can reduce the effect of belt tension,protect belt and prolong life, especially under the heavy load start-up.

Do you know difference of TD75, DTII and DTIIA series belt conveyor?
