Hermetically sealed belt conveyor that can be used for transporting calcium carbide
Thread Content
In the design of acetylene production using the calcium carbide method, since a large amount of dust is generated during the transportation of calcium carbide, it is considered to use a closed belt conveyor; I wonder what the feasibility of this approach is Such as safety (since calcium carbide reacts with trace amounts of moisture in the air to produce acetylene gas, etc.), the adverse effects of calcium carbide dust on the lubrication parts of transmission machinery, equipment maintenance (such as replacing belts, drums, rollers), etc
It should be feasible. Acetylene generated by calcium carbide in the air is in small quantities, so it won’t cause safety hazards. The lubrication parts of the machinery are equipped with sealing structures to prevent dust from entering. For maintenance purposes, other transportation methods are also required. Whether the investment is worthwhile depends on the utilization rate of your conveyor
I wonder which manufacturers currently produce high-quality enclosed belt conveyors?
Our company has them; tubular belts.
