Continuous conveying machinery are mechanical devices that transport or move bulk materials and finished goods along a specific path in a continuous, uniform, and stable manner; they are simply referred to as conveying machines. Types of conveying machinery: belt conveyors, plate conveyors, car conveyors, escalators, moving walks, scraper conveyors, buried scraper conveyors, bucket conveyors, bucket elevators, suspension conveyors, and aerial cableways, etc. Conveyor accessories: 1. Conveyor belt. 2. Drive unit (electric drum): composed of motor, hydraulic coupling, reducer, coupling, brake (check valve), etc. 3. Drive drum: It is the main component that transmits power. The drum diameters are: 500, 630, 800, 1000. The drum surface is available with: smooth steel, herringbone, and diamond-patterned rubber covering. 4. Direction-changing drum: Used to change the running direction of the conveyor belt or increase the angle between the conveyor belt and the drive drum. 5. Idler rollers: Used to support the conveyor belt and the materials carried on it, ensuring stable operation of the conveyor belt. Slat idler, parallel idler, self-aligning idler, buffer idler, return idler, excess idler. 6. Tensioning device: It provides sufficient tension to the conveyor belt, ensuring friction between the belt and the drive rollers so as to prevent slippage, and it also controls the sag of the conveyor belt between the various idlers, thereby enabling the conveyor to operate properly. Spiral tensioning, vertical tensioning, sledgehammer-type tensioning, fixed winch type. 7. Cleaner: Used to clean the material adhered to the conveyor belt. There are two types: a head cleaner and an empty section cleaner. 8. Unloading device, guide chute: The unloading device is used to unload material at any point along the conveyor. Conveyors with belt speeds of 2.5 m/s or less and material particle sizes under 50 mm, using vulcanized belt joints. Conveyor chute: The material falling from the funnel is gathered in the middle of the conveyor belt before reaching the belt speed; the bottom width of the conveyor chute is 2/3 to 1/2 of the belt width. 9. Frame: A device that supports the roller drums and bears the tension of the conveyor belt. 10. Head funnel: A device used for pouring material and controlling the direction of the flow, which can also serve to prevent dust. 11. Safety protection device: A device that can monitor and trigger alarms in case of failures during the operation of the conveyor, enabling safe and normal operation of the conveyor system, preventing damage to the mechanical components, and protecting the safety of operators. Furthermore, it facilitates centralized control and improves the level of automation. As well as misalignment switches, slip detection devices, pull-cord switches, longitudinal tear detectors, etc.
