A brief discussion on the assembly steps of belt conveyors and after-sales service

2018-01-09 View Original

Conveyor belts are commonly used in food conveying, drying conveying, and cleaning conveying operations. The mesh belt conveyor comes in two structural designs: one features a stainless steel mesh belt, while the frame is made of carbon steel with a powder coating ; It is all stainless steel. The former design is used for transportation in normal environments, while the latter is used for transportation in food-related or harsh environments. The conveyor belt of the mesh belt conveyor features a chain-type mesh belt structure, which enables long conveying distances and a long service life. The frame of the belt conveyor is constructed either by welding frames or by assembling folded plates; both designs have their advantages and disadvantages – one offers greater strength while the other provides better aesthetics. The power design of stainless steel mesh belt conveyors relies on variable-frequency speed-regulated reduction motors, with the power capacity determined based on the conveying volume. Assembling a belt conveyor involves three main steps: horizontal alignment ; Proper tightening ; Run for debugging. First, weld and tighten the frame to ensure it is level in all directions, with no diamond-shaped shapes appearing at the corners; thereafter, once it is confirmed that the conveyor belt is horizontal, weld the tracks, tighten the bolts, and adjust the tension. Adjusting the tension is a key step in this process; since both the conveyor belt and the conveyor itself are made of metal, it is important to get the tension level just right. If it is too tight, the conveyor belt gets damaged; if it is too loose, tooth skipping or derailment may occur. The testing steps for the belt conveyor after it has been assembled are also crucial; it should be started in stages and operated at a slow speed, with normal operation only begun once everything is confirmed to be in order. Many small belt conveyors are manufactured as complete units, taking into account installation costs and expenses. When customers try to make adjustments on their own, various minor problems arise; although these issues aren’t serious, they still require phone calls for assistance, wasting time and effort. Therefore, a thorough inspection process is a crucial step before a belt conveyor leaves the factory, and it must not be overlooked. Only by properly carrying out inspection steps such as the assembly and testing of belt conveyors can these conveyors be made larger, more efficient in conveying materials, and capable of covering longer distances. When it comes to the quality of belt conveyors, manufacturing companies are doing quite well these days. The fierce competition and the growing awareness of consumers’ rights also exert implicit constraints on these manufacturers. As for the aspects of conveyor belt quality that require improvement, these are safety and aesthetics. In the future, it would be best for conveyor belts to be made of fully enclosed stainless steel or carbon steel with a powder coating finish, as this ensures both good appearance and safety. Another aspect is after-sales service for belt conveyors; this is indeed an area where manufacturers of belt conveyors need to make efforts. They should not ignore their products once they leave the factory, and sometimes they are even too lazy to address even minor faults. It not only delays the customer’s use but also damages one’s own reputation, resulting in losses for oneself in the end. It is necessary to answer every question, address any issues that arise, and place the customer’s interests first.
