A thorough inspection must be carried out before starting the belt conveyor. Prevent foreign objects from falling into the belt conveyor, which could cause damage to the belt drive disc or breakage of the belt shaft. Then clean the inside of the device. In a belt conveyor, materials are transported by the blades on the belt, which push the materials forward; the forces that prevent the materials from rotating together with the belt’s blades are the weight of the materials themselves and the frictional resistance exerted by the conveyor frame on those materials. The mesh belt blades welded to the rotating shaft of the mesh belt conveyor can have various shapes depending on the material being conveyed, such as solid surface shapes, belt-shaped surfaces, and blade-shaped surfaces. Before putting it into use, users must carefully check whether there are any debris inside the casing to avoid affecting production. If not cleaned thoroughly, the presence of a large amount of material inside the equipment can easily lead to excessive loading on it, and may even damage the motor. A mesh belt conveyor is an efficient conveying device; after use, an inevitable amount of material remains inside the device and cannot be completely removed. Cleaning should be carried out only after the mesh belt conveyor has been stopped, and it is strictly prohibited to clean it while it is still in operation to avoid accidents. Since there are two common design types of belt conveyors, tubular and trough-type, the cleaning methods also vary. Cleaning the residual material inside a belt conveyor is an important step in equipment maintenance. Belt conveyors are primarily used to transport materials in the form of small lumps, powders, or particles. If this residue is not removed in time, it can cause excessive loading when the conveyor is started. Moreover, if the particles being transported are large in size, they can damage the conveyor belts, or even destroy the motor of the belt conveyor. Additionally, cleaning the interior of the belt conveyor also helps to remove the material attached to the shafts of the conveyor belt and its blades. It also prevents materials from entering the suspension bearings at the center. As we all know, suspension bearings are used in conveyor belts that cover long distances. If a large amount of material gets into these bearings, it can easily cause damage to them, or even lead to the breakage of the shafts of the conveyor belt. Therefore, it is necessary for users to clean the belt conveyor promptly after use.
