Before starting up the conveying machinery, check the condition of contact between the rubber scrapers and belts of the cleaning equipment and unloader, as well as the condition of the belt joints; address any issues found promptly. Make regular inspections of the belt’s operating condition, and address any issues such as misalignment, slipping, or damage by making the necessary adjustments. Inspect the rolling condition of the idlers regularly, and replace those that are not rotating or are damaged in a timely manner. Oil the bearings at the prescribed times and pay attention to the bearing temperature. Protect the operating environment and maintain cleanliness along the transportation routes for mechanical equipment parts. Conduct regular inspections of the conveying machinery; the belt core should not be exposed, and the vulcanized layer must not delaminate, as well as the feed hopper baffles. The wear thickness is two-thirds of the planned thickness. The deformation, vibration, and robustness of the belt frames that are part of conveyor systems should not exhibit significant deformation or shaking; the rollers and idlers used in conveyor systems should also not show such issues. The wear of the rubber on the rollers of conveyor accessories must not exceed two-thirds of the specified thickness. The idler bearings of conveyor accessories can experience sticking; the belt of the conveyor accessory belt cleaner, as well as the cleaning rubber plate, should be adjusted so that they are 5 mm away from the belt. Misalignment of the conveyor belt: The fundamental cause of misalignment of the conveyor belt is an uneven lateral force acting on it during operation. If the conveyor belt of the head conveyor accessories deviates from its path, this deviation can be corrected by adjusting the set screws on the supports of the drive rollers. The deviation direction of the tail roller is the opposite. If the conveyor belt is severely bent or if the joints are not properly aligned, this can lead to deviation over long distances. In such cases, it is necessary to cut out the bent sections or remove the joints and replace them, or redo the joints. As for deviation that occurs when the conveyor is running without a load, it is necessary to wait until the conveyor is loaded before checking the level of deviation and deciding whether adjustments need to be made. If the edges of the conveyor belt, which is a component of conveyor systems, become abraded or cracked, rubber repair compound can be used for bonding; in the case of tears in the edges of such belts. It is possible to choose between partial cold adhesive repair and partial vulcanized adhesive repair. Service life of conveyor belt accessories: The service life and performance of conveyor belt accessories are related to the quality of these accessories. It is necessary to ensure that the cleaners function properly while the conveyor is in operation; there should be no material on the return conveyor belt, as otherwise the material will enter the drive drum or idler rollers along with the conveyor belt, thereby increasing wear on the rubber layer of the conveyor belt in contact with those drums. The conveyor belt for transporting conveyor parts may develop cracks, the rubber coating may peel off, and the canvas layer may become exposed, all of which reduce the service life of such a conveyor belt. Conveyor belt slippage: In the case of slippage of the conveyor belt, which is tensioned by gravity, adding weight is used as a solution. Increase until the conveyor belt stops slipping. However, the increase should not be excessive, to prevent the conveyor belt from being subjected to unnecessary high tension and thus reducing its service life. When the rubber layer of the drive drum wears out excessively, the gap between the conveyor belt and the drum decreases, which can also cause the conveyor to slip under heavy loads; in such cases, it is necessary to resurface the drum with rubber. The idler roller does not rotate; this is due to poor lubrication of the bearing in the conveyor’s idler roller, or perhaps damage to the bearing, which results in jamming of the idler roller. It is necessary to apply more lubricant to the bearing or replace it with a new one. Tail blockage: The cause of this blockage is material spillage from the conveyor equipment. There are three reasons for such spillage: spillage at the transfer points, spillage where there is no curved filtering area in the concave sections, and spillage that occurs when the conveyor deviates from its path. Appropriate methods must be used to clean up the spilled material at each respective location. Urgent parking situation ； Immediate parking should be carried out in case of one of the following situations: broken belt, blocked discharge opening ； Short belt, signaling abnormal noises and vibrations ； The belt is stuck, or any other situation that poses a serious threat to safe production. The maintenance cycles and tasks for conveyor equipment are divided into minor repairs and major repairs. Inspection during major repairs, repair of belt joints, replacement of clamps ； Check and replace the upper and lower idler rollers to adjust the misaligned rollers. Check or replace the reducer lubricant. Inspect the transmission equipment, check the electric drum and related electrical equipment, and top up the oil. Check the safety protection equipment. Inspect the coupling for correction and replace the wear parts. Adjust the belt tension and check the tensioning device. Inspect and repair the feed hopper and chutes. The medium repair includes all the elements of a minor repair; in addition, it involves cleaning all bearings and changing the oil, as well as adjusting clearances or replacing components. Repair and replace the cleaner; repair and replace the idler rollers that hold the belt in place. Check the upper and lower idler roller supports for repair or replacement. Clean the reducer and inspect it, replacing worn parts. A major overhaul includes everything that is covered by a medium overhaul. Inspect the wear condition of the belts in the conveyor equipment components, replace the conveyor belts and various roller assemblies, and carry out repairs or replacements as necessary. Inspect, repair, adjust, or replace the rack. Inspect, repair, or replace the electric drum if it has disintegrated. Repair and replace conveyor components and belt tensioning equipment. Inspect the reducer and repair or replace the shaft, gears, and housing. Rust removal and painting for corrosion protection.
