Stainless steel chain plates are widely used as conveying equipment in industries such as coal, grain, and flour processing plants. Stainless steel chain plates can be used to transport both bulk materials and bagged materials. When installing stainless steel chain plates, users often encounter various issues; some of these cannot be resolved in a timely manner, which hinders the smooth progress of the project. Today, I will analyze these specific problems for everyone: Slipping of the stainless steel chain plates is a common issue caused by too low an initial tension – insufficient tension at the point where the conveyor belt contacts the drum leads to slipping of the belt. This situation usually occurs during startup, and the solution is to adjust the tensioning device to increase the initial tension. Slipping occurs due to insufficient friction between the stainless steel chain plate drive roller and the conveyor belt. The most common reason for this is water on the conveyor belt or a humid environment; the solution is to add some rosin powder to the drum. However, be careful not to add it by hand; instead, use a blower device to introduce it, in order to avoid accidents. Too many cases of damage to the bearing of the tail roller, resulting in its failure to rotate, or damage to the bearings of the upper and lower idler rollers, also leading to a failure to rotate. The cause of this damage is excessive movement of the tail section; timely maintenance and replacement of the damaged or poorly functioning components are not carried out, which increases resistance and causes slipping. Too fast a start-up speed can also cause slipping. It can now be started slowly. If a squirrel-cage motor is used, starting it after two brief startups can also effectively overcome the slipping problem of stainless steel chain plates. If the load on the stainless steel chain conveyor belt is too high, exceeding its capacity, it will also slip. The advantage of slipping at this time is that it provides protection for the electricity. Otherwise, the electricity will be damaged over time. But for operation, it is a slipping accident. To overcome belt slippage, it is first necessary to identify the cause of the slippage in order to take effective corrective measures.
