How to select conveyor cover?

Application and Working Principle：
YD Conveyor Covers is well known as conveyor belt hood and used to protect transported material and conveyor belting, idlers and structure. Effectively they improve personnel safety; reduce loss of material to wind and stop grime and rain from damaging the idlers and belt.
YD Conveyor Covers is mostly used in power plant, cement factory, iron and steel factory, chemical factory, coal, port, jetty, mining and other enterprise. Our company provides fixed-closed type and open type. The color of the rain covers are mainly in blue, grey and white, and red (depend on client’s need).

Selection guidelines
1). Please tell us your belt conveyor’s width____mm and length____mm;
2). If possible, please indicate the opening width____mm of the conveyor cover;
3). Please indicate the thickness of the cover you required____mm;
4). Every piece conveyor cover’s length is 970mm, except overlap installation, the effective length is 900mm.
5). The material is colorized galvanized steel plate, the thickness are 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm.
6). Coud you tell us will you need fixed type conveyor cover or open-close type conveyor cover?

Deliver Conveyor Rainproof Cover to Madagascar

Last week, more than 600 pieces conveyor rainproof cover used for belt conveyor was delivered from Shanghai Port. These goods were ordered by our Madagascar customer, and they will be transported to the Toamasina port as anticipated one month.

 

According to the information offered by our customer, we provided three kinds of conveyor rainproof cover to them. One is matched with 800mm belt width conveyor, another is matched with 1000mm belt width, and the last one is matched with 1400mm belt width. Meanwhile, the quantities of conveyor rainproof conveyor are 490 pieces, 110 pieces, 40 pieces respectively. Also, they have the same thickness that is 0.8mm.

 

Conveyor rainproof cover is the important component in belt conveyor. It can not only protect materials, but also protect the belt conveyor. PK Machinery can provide conveyor rainproof cover with high quality. Welcome to your enquiry at any time! 

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 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.
