Some elements influencing the operating speed of belt conveyor

The belt conveyor is a kind of continuous conveyor in fixed line. The belt conveyor could transport the materials in horizontal, inclined or vertical direction. In general, the conveying line is fixed. The capacity of conveyor is large and the conveying distance is long. At the same time, other technological operation could be done in the course of conveying materials. As a result, the application of belt conveyor is wide in most EPC companies.
Besides, the confirmation on operating speed is very important for the belt
conveyor design, which influences the conveying capacity and cost. Increasing the operating speed of belt conveyor could increase the conveying capacity. Under the same conveying conditions, selection of small belt width reduce the linear load and tension of conveyor belt. If the operating speed is increased, the dust would be raised. What's worse, the abrasion in feed channel and sweeper will be serious, which should be considered by designer. When the delivery value and belt width is large, the designer should choose high belt speed. If it is horizontal and long conveyor, the high speed should be chosen. When the belt conveyor transports materials with large dust capacity, the belt speed could be set as 0.8~1m/s .On conditions of labor burdening and weighing, the belt speed should be not over 1.25m/s. If the plow discharger is used, the belt speed should be not over 2.0m/s. If the throw-off carriage is adopted, the belt speed is not over 2.5m/s. When the finely-divided materials are conveyed, the allowed belt speed is 3.15m/s. If the complete goods is conveyed, the belt speed is generally less than 1.25m/s.
The conveyor is commonly used in automated warehouse with other equipment such as apron feeder, stacker reclaimer and automatic robot. So please pay attention to the belt conveyor design for purpose of normal operation of whole project.

The Comparison of Portal Scraper Reclaimer and Boom Scraper Reclaimer

图片
The portal scraper reclaimer and boom scraper reclaimer are the main types. The differences are as follows: 1. The portal reclaimer has reasonable structure. The partial weight of portal frame and scrapper reclaimer is supported by the wall(blocking materials). In this way, the stress state under the central cylinder, and the running of the portal scraper could operate smoothly. And the boom scraper reclaimer's load could be transmitted to the central cylinder. In this way, the design and manufacturing difficulty is large and the stability of the equipment is bad. 2. The portal reclaimer has compact structure, and there is no need to design the balance weight. The space occupied under the portal reclaimer is small. The boom reclaimer should be designed with large balance weight. 3. The portal reclaimer need the circle track in the wall(blocking materials), and the related cost of setting circle track. The balance weight load of the boom scraper reclaimer is central under t

The Analysis Of Advantages And Disadvantages On Boom And Portal Bucket Wheel Stacker Reclaimer

图片
As we all know, the stacker reclaimer coordinates with belt conveyor to complete the handling process of materials in most conditions. The bucket wheel stacker reclaimer, as one of the mining equipment , is mainly used in handling materials. According to the structure form, there are boom bucket wheel stacker reclaimer and portal bucket wheel stacker reclaimer. The boom bucket wheel stacker reclaimer is widely used in port, coal storage yard, earthwork, coking plant, cement plant and etc for handling coals, ores, and other materials. The portal bucket wheel stacker reclaimer is mainly used in power plant. The boom bucket wheel stacker reclaimer handles materials through the rotation. So it is necessary to set the large rotating bearing, which increases the cost. The portal bucket wheel stacker reclaimer handles materials along the straight line without the large rotating bearing, which could save the cost. The boom bucket wheel stacker reclaimer could handle materials over 90 d

The Features Of Different Apron Feeder

图片
In general, the apron feeder could be divided into three types including heavy, medium, light type, which is the continuous transportation machinery widely used in mining, metallurgy, construction materials, ports, coal and industrial and mining enterprises. The apron feeder is mainly used as the storage bunker to continuously supply the materials or transfer large material to crushing machine or batching apparatus. The apron feeder is one of necessary machine for handling materials in the process of continuous production. Sometimes some EPC companies would choose stacker reclaimer, belt conveyor, stone crusher and etc to complete the transportation of materials. The light apron feeder is suitable for transporting materials under 160mm granularity in short distance. It is used for continuous feeding in mine, mill plant, chemical industry, cement, building materials. The light apron feeder could be installed horizontally or obliquely. The maximum inclination degree is 20, which is su
