A brief analysis of the usage specifications for conveyor belts in flexible conveyors

Thread Content

The stainless steel conveyor belt flexible conveyor is a type of flexible conveyor. During operation, if many of its components are not used in accordance with the correct methods, they can easily get damaged, which may even lead to various unnecessary problems. Today, the editor will explain to you the usage guidelines for conveyor belts in flexible conveyors. 1. The conveyor belt of a flexible conveyor must have sufficient strength. It is strictly prohibited to use low-strength conveyor belts in place of high-strength ones. 2. Flexible conveyor tensioning device (1) The flexible conveyor tensioning device shall be equipped with limit position stoppers. When the automatic tensioning device reaches its extreme position, it is necessary to ensure that the power supply for lifting is automatically cut off, and a signal indicating that lifting is prohibited is issued. When it drops to the limit position, it ensures that the power supply for descent is automatically cut off, and a signal prohibiting descent is issued. (2) Protective devices should be installed at locations where the flexible conveyor’s weight-hanging tensioning device is usually accessed by personnel. The protective device shall prevent personnel from entering the space beneath the weight. In the absence of such a protective device, a support mechanism shall be installed beneath the weight, with a clear distance from the ground or other working surfaces of not less than 2.5 m. 3. Braking device capable of being activated when the conveyor belt of the flexible conveyor turns (1) The braking device of the flexible conveyor must be in a state where it can apply braking at any time. Its braking friction surface must not have any defects that could impair braking performance or be contaminated with oil. (2) The braking devices for normal and emergency use of flexible conveyors shall have prominent markings and shall be located in easily accessible positions. (3) The braking device of the flexible conveyor unloading vehicle shall be sensitive and reliable. Its limiting clamping device should be able to withstand the maximum wind force under operating conditions on its own, without being blown away by the wind. The installation of end stops on the track should ensure that the dump car does not derail or tip over. The above are the usage guidelines for flexible conveyor belts as summarized by the editor. Although the summary may not be complete, it covers most of the essential points, which can serve as a reference for everyone.
