Do You Know What are the Main Technical Requirements of Conveyor Roller

1.Conveyor roller cylindrical radial circular runout
In order to guarantee the belt conveyor run smoothly, it is necessary to make strict specifications on roller radial circular runout, otherwise it will cause conveyor belt vibration, increase conveyor belt running resistance and consume more power due to its higher value. Therefore, this is an important technology index for roller.

 

2.Rotational resistance after installation of conveyor roller
Excessive roller rotational resistance will cause conveyor roller damage in advance and conveyor belt wears rapidly, it will also cause the increasing of the driving power, so this is another important technical index for roller.
3.Waterproof, dustproof, sealing performance of conveyor roller
The service life of roller depends on its sealing performance to a great extent, good seal performance can prevent dirt and moisture entering into roller bearing roller way effectively. In order to improve its service life, we must develop better way of waterproof, dustproof, sealing performance.

 

4.Roller axial carrying capacity
Generally, roller bears the roll force for only one direction, therefore, we must ensure normal operation under axial load of roller.
5. Service life of conveyor roller
This is a comprehensive index which involving the scientific rationality of structure design, the manufacturing quality of roller, bearing selection, the choice of grease and grease filling and sealing effect etc.

 

Why will Belt Conveyor Motorized Pulley Get Rusty

During the operation process of belt conveyor, it will occur some problems due to incorrect method of using or wear and tear, therefore, we need to know some knowledge in order to ensure the normal operation. Here PK Machinery will list some reasons why motorized pulley of belt conveyor will rust:
1. Electroplating time is not enough, it dues to the problem of process flow;
2. Air liquidity of the location where motorized pulley stores is not good, or the location is wet, it is may due to the large difference in temperature;
3. If the package sealing breaks, the motorized pulley may oxidate and get rusty;
4. The most important point is that before electroplating, the dirt on motorized pulley surface is not being cleaned well, it is also one of the reasons why the motorized pulley will get rusty.

 

 

Installation and Notes of Belt Conveyor Anti-rain Cover

1) Open cover and fixed cover are manufactured with the galvanized steel plate or the colorized coating steel plate. Generally ,there will be 1 piece of open cover and 7 pieces of fixed covers installed every 8 pieces covers, the 2 kinds covers also can be installed side by side alternately ( it also can be matched according to customer’s requirement). At first, fasten the fixed conveyor with drilling rivets and based on the line which is upward 30mm from the top of Z type steel, fix a mounting hole every 450mm, every piece of cover overlaps 2 wave crests. Open cover overlaps above the fixed covers in order to open conveniently.

 

2) The Z type steel or the connection angle iron which is the main support frame of the conveyor cover, the length is equal to the length of the installed conveyor cover
The Z type steel or the connection angle iron is welded on the channel steel or the little stiffening angle iron on both sides of the conveyor

3) Install the covers (fixed covers) from one side to another side along the conveyor, during installation, people are not allowed to stand on the covers and no hard beating and hitting is allowed.
4) Mount the fixed covers on the Z type steel with the drilling rivet. The mounting points are not less than 4 on every piece.

5) 1 piece of observation window cover could be installed every 10 pieces for convenient checking and inspecting. It is decided by users.

6) Salient point cover is only used for the salient points of the convex-concave of the conveyor. Deviation switch cover is only used for covering the deviation switch. These 2 kinds covers also can overlap the fixed covers.

 

4. Note

1) During the installation, please handle the anti-rain cover carefully and avoid scratching.

2) After installing the accessories, please clean the surface and paint the scratched points again.

Installation Drawing of Deviation Switch Cover

 According to the location of deviation switch, please install and center the drilled cover, then put the sealing strip on the cover open point flatly according to the height of the switch box cover , then install the switch box cover with 12－Φ5 rivet.

Installation of Open Belt Conveyor Cover

View 1: Installation drawing of whole open –close type 

 

View 2: Installation drawing of half open –close type (double chip open- close type) 

 

1) installation of handle 
After overlapping the open cover and fixed cover, based on the center line of the cover, the location upward 250mm is the center line used for installing the handle (it can be adjustable according to height of the conveyor support frame). Put the handle straightly and drilling a 4－Φ5 hole, then fasten with the rivets.

2) installation of hinge 
Adjust one side of the cover up higher from the top of the Z type steel (angle iron) 5mm, inward 140mm from the front and back sides of the cover, and upward 27mm is the location of the hinge, then drill holes Φ5 and fasten with the rivet. Others holes are also fastened with the rivets. 

3) installation of the lock catch
After installing the hinge, on the other side of the cover, inward 185mm from front and back sides of the cover, then based on the bottom, upward 36mm and 77mm , drill holes Φ5 and fasten the lock with the rivet, next keeping the lock locking( clamp status), and then putting the lock nose on the Z type steel straightly and drilling hole to fasten.

4) installation of the open cover
Overlap the open cover on the bilateral fixed covers. The overlapped length should be the length of 2 pitches of waves, then put the other side of the hinge appressed on the angle iron and drill hole 4－Φ5 with the rivet fastened.

Installation of Belt Conveyor Cover Support Frame

 Belt conveyor cover is applicable to power plant, cement plant, mines and other major factories which is waterproof, dustproof and windproof, it plays a great role in reducing the loss during the process of conveying goods ,making the conveyor belt more safe and reliable in operation and purifying the environment .

As the main support frame of the conveyor cover, the length of Z type steel or the connection angle iron is equal to the length of the installed conveyor cover. Please weld the Z type steel or the connection angle iron on the channel steel or the little stiffening angle iron on both sides of the belt conveyor. If need the stiffening angle iron, at first, weld the stiffening angle iron on both sides of the conveyor, then weld the Z type steel or the connection angle iron on the stiffening angle iron, detailed steps are as following:
 1) first weld the little stiffening angle iron ∟40*40*100*4(just for reference, it also can be indicated by users) every 1.5m or 2 m on both sides of the belt conveyor ( eudipleural ). The height from the intermediate frame to the top of little stiffening angle iron should ≥50mm ( it also can be decided by users).
2) Then weld the Z type steel 30*50*30*(2.0~3.0),( just for reference, it also can be replace by angle iron) and fix it on both sides of the intermediate frame top, the inner size should be 10-20mm bigger than outside size of intermediate frame.
3) After being welded please remove welding slag then paint.
 

How to Prolong the Lifespan of Vibration Motor

1. Make sure the wiring and insulation work of vibration motor is well done in order to prevent the lack of phase and short circuit .
2. Anchor bolt reinforcement work should be done frequently, take necessary prevention measures, such as using a double nut fastening to ensure vibration motor base and the floor contact well.
3. Attach great importance to the cover sealing of vibration motor, the dust inside the protection cover should be cleaned up frequently.
4. Strengthen the daily maintenance of vibration motor, remove the dust on the motor surface frequently, and reduce the impact on the vibrating motor due to the poor heat dissipation in order to make it work in a good condition.

 

5. Please pay attention to the symmetry when adjusting the vibration block, the gravity connection centerline of vibration block on both sides should be parallel to axis.
6. Check whether there is crack on motor appearance, all fastening screws and parts are complete and the fixed situation of the motor are in good condition or not.
7. Check whether the ventilation and bearing lubrication condition of vibration motor is normal or not.
8. Pull out the motor axis and check if rotor can rotate freely and whether there is noise during rotation.
9. Check whether the grounding device is reliable or not.
