A brief discussion on the start-up and shutdown of flexible conveyors

Thread Content

A flexible conveyor is a type of modular three-dimensional conveying system that features agility, light weight, aesthetics, compactness, quiet operation, and no pollution. Of course, with regard to the safety, cost-effectiveness, and reliability of equipment operation, flexible conveyor systems are generally equipped with protective devices that enable starting and stopping in emergency situations, thereby ensuring production safety and personal safety. Next, let’s take a look at the issues related to starting and stopping: 1. Under normal circumstances, a flexible conveyor should be started with no load ； 2. When several flexible conveyors are installed in sequence, we should use start-up devices that can be locked, so that they can be started and stopped in a specified order from the control room ； 3. Meanwhile, to prevent unexpected accidents, we also need to install start and stop buttons for each conveyor ； 4. The conveyor belt of flexible conveyors can sometimes tear longitudinally for certain reasons. To prevent such accidents, when the length of the conveyor line exceeds 30 meters, we install stop buttons along the entire length of the line at regular intervals.
