Matters that must be paid attention to when using belt conveyors in curved paths

Thread Content

The circuit control of belt conveyors that make turns must ensure smooth operation and accurate, reliable functioning, as well as the ability to quickly cut off the power supply for a safe shutdown in emergency situations. The central control console of the curved belt conveyor must be equipped with audio and visual signal displays to accurately monitor the start and stop status of each unit, as well as the operation of the emergency stop switches. The belt conveyor that makes turns should be started gradually in the opposite direction to the material flow. Stop each machine sequentially with a delay in the direction of material transport. Under the condition of ensuring no overflow, simultaneous starting or braking is also allowed.   The quality and safety of products transported by belt conveyors that make turns has always been a topic of concern. As people’s living standards and quality of life continue to improve, consumers’ purchasing attitudes have undergone significant changes, which in turn has altered the market landscape for various goods. Most manufacturing companies have also adjusted their production methods and product portfolios in order to produce products that consumers can trust. Not only that, the installation of curved belt conveyors cannot be ignored either. Below, Yuyin Machinery will guide you through the precautions related to curved belt conveyors. 　　 Emergency pull-cord switches should be installed along the conveyor belts in curved conveyor systems, or those used in areas with narrow and confined passages. The design of the conveyor belt line includes lighting fixtures or portable lights. When working in environments with explosive gases, dusts, or hazardous mixtures, we use safety-rated lighting fixtures. Before a belt conveyor that has been shut down for over a month is put back into use, it must be inspected and tested by the competent mechanical and electrical technicians on all mechanical and electrical equipment; it can only be used after it is confirmed to be in good working condition. 　　 The conveying capacity of the intermediate receiving conveyor belt in the turning conveyor system must be greater than or equal to that of the feeding turning conveyor belt. During reversible conveying, the conveying volume of the receiving turning belt conveyor should be equal to that of the feeding turning belt conveyor; however, during reverse conveying with load, the conveying volume of the receiving turning belt conveyor should be twice that of the feeding turning belt conveyor. The belt conveyor that has stopped due to an accident can be inspected in advance before being restarted, and any faults causing the stoppage should be resolved.
