Belt Conveyors System Structure

Frame: The structural backbone of the conveyor, providing support for the belt and other components.

Belt: The flexible material that carries the material to be transported. It can be made of rubber, PVC, or other durable materials.

Drive Pulley: Powered by a motor, this pulley drives the belt, propelling the material along the conveyor.

Idler Rollers: These support the belt and reduce friction, ensuring smooth operation.

Tensioning Device: Maintains proper belt tension, preventing slippage and ensuring optimal performance.

Motor and Gearbox: Provides the power to drive the conveyor system.

Different types of conveyor belt options

The belt material of the belt conveyor system is a key factor affecting the performance and service life of the conveyor. Different conveying tasks have different requirements for belt materials, so choosing the right belt material is crucial.

Rubber belt: It has good elasticity, wear resistance and oil resistance, and is suitable for conveying general materials. It is widely used in mining, metallurgy, building materials and other industries.

PVC belt: It is acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, corrosion-resistant and oil-resistant. It is suitable for conveying in corrosive environments and is suitable for food, medicine, chemical and other industries.

PU belt: It is wear-resistant, oil-resistant and chemically resistant, and has good elasticity and cold resistance. It is widely used in electronics, food, medicine and other industries.

Cotton canvas belt: It is low-cost and easy to splice. It is mainly used for conveying light materials.

Principle of Belt Conveyor Systems

Material loading: The material is placed on the belt through the loading point (such as hopper, conveyor, etc.).

Starting the system: Start the motor and drive the belt to start moving.

Material transportation: The belt moves forward under the action of the drive wheel, and the material is transported with it.

Material distribution: The material is evenly distributed on the belt to ensure stability during transportation.

Arriving at the unloading point: The material reaches the predetermined unloading position and is unloaded from the belt by gravity or other means.

System stopping: After the transportation is completed, the motor is stopped and the belt stops moving.
