The discharge of the belt conveyor is a topic that everyone is concerned about. When such a phenomenon occurs, the reasons are also various. However, the key point is still to strengthen the daily maintenance and upkeep work. Today, the editor will introduce to you how to deal with the discharge problem of the belt conveyor.
1. Discharge at the transfer point
The discharge at the transfer point mainly occurs at the discharge hopper, guide chute, etc. For example, if the belt conveyor is severely overloaded, the PVC skirt plate of the conveyor chute becomes damaged, and the PVC skirt plate at the guide chute is too long and far from the belt, causing the materials to spill out of the guide chute. These situations can be solved by strengthening maintenance and upkeep during operation.
2. Discharge when the concave section of the belt is suspended
When the concave section of the belt has a small curvature radius, the belt will become suspended. At this time, the belt changes to a trough-like shape, and since the belt has left the trough-shaped idler group, usually due to the reduction of the angle of the trough, some materials fall out. Therefore, during the equipment planning stage, it is advisable to use as large a curvature radius for the concave section as possible, which can effectively prevent such situations from occurring. For example, in mobile mechanical ship loaders and stacker-reclaimers, to shorten the tail car, this concave section is planned as an interval without an arc transition. When the belt width is selected with a small margin, spillage of materials is very likely to occur.
3. Discharge when the belt conveyor is deviated
The discharge when the belt of the belt conveyor is deviated is due to the change in the height of the two edges during operation. One side is high, and the other side is low. The materials spill out from the low side. The solution is to adjust the deviation of the belt.
In conclusion, the discharge problem of the belt conveyor is also a relatively common issue. The solutions for discharge in different places are not the same.
