Z Type Belt Conveyor

Introduction of Z Type Belt Conveyor

The Z type belt conveyor is in the shape of the letter "Z". It is mainly composed of three parts: the lower horizontal section, the climbing section and the upper horizontal section. It is suitable for continuous transportation of goods between floors or height differences. The lower horizontal section of the Z Type Belt Conveyor can be equipped with a silo, with Vibratory Feeder, for quantitative and uniform feeding; the upper horizontal section can extend the discharge distance to better adapt to the distance between the conveyor and the silo, packaging machine or other conveying equipment the distance. Install strips, fixtures, skirts, etc. on the belt so that the objects can be lifted and conveyed at a larger angle. When conveying granular items, in order to prevent the items from rolling down due to gravity, you can add a piece at a certain distance.

Application scenarios of Z Type Belt Conveyor

Z belt conveyors are suitable for a variety of scenarios involving the vertical or inclined transportation of products or materials. Here are some common application scenarios for Z-belt conveyors:

1. Food processing and packaging: used for vertical or inclined conveying of food during processing and packaging. They are used to transfer items such as snacks, baked goods, fruit, vegetables and frozen meals between different production levels or stages. Non-slip straps ensure safe, gentle handling of delicate foods.

2. Pharmaceutical and chemical industry: used for vertical conveying of materials such as powder, tablet, capsule and chemicals. They are used to transport these materials between different processing units, such as mixing, coating, drying and packaging equipment.

3. Recycling and waste management: used in recycling facilities and waste management centers for vertical transfer of recyclable materials. They help move materials such as plastic bottles, cans, paper and cardboard from one layer to another for sorting, processing or packaging.

4. Industrial manufacturing: suitable for various industrial manufacturing processes that require vertical or inclined transportation. They can be used to transfer assemblies, parts or products between different assembly stations, workstations or production levels.

5. Agriculture and planting: used to transport harvested crops, grains or seeds from ground storage to elevated storage silos or processing equipment. They facilitate the vertical transfer of materials, optimize storage capacity and simplify agricultural operations.

6. Material handling and logistics: Used in logistics centers, warehouses and distribution facilities for vertical transfer of items in packaging, palletizing and order fulfillment operations. They enable the efficient movement of goods between floors, reducing manual labor and improving operational efficiency.

Features and Benefits

1. It can be combined with other conveying equipment to form a horizontal or inclined conveying system to meet the needs of different layout types of operation lines.

2. The conveying inclination is large, and the maximum can reach 90 degrees. It is an ideal equipment for large inclination conveying and vertical conveying.

3. The conveying is stable, and there is no relative movement between the material and the conveyor belt, which can avoid damage to the conveyed material.

4. The Z Type Belt Conveyor can add a rib design to prevent bulk materials from falling when conveying at a large angle.

Structure of Z Type Belt Conveyor

Z type belt conveyor is composed of corrugated sidewall belt, base belt diaphragm, head drive roller, driving device, reversing pressure roller, sidewall roller, rapper and so on.

1. Upper horizontal section: In order to meet the requirements of different discharge heights, the head frame is divided into a low head frame, a Chinese head frame and a high head frame. And correspondingly, the upper horizontal section is equipped with low type convex arc section frame and low type middle frame support legs, middle type convex arc section frame and middle type middle frame support legs, high type convex arc section frame and high type. Type intermediate frame legs.

2. Inclined section: No matter whether the upper horizontal section adopts the low type, Chinese type, or high type intermediate frame legs, the inclined section adopts the low type intermediate frame legs. When the inclination of the conveyor is R45°, it is recommended to use type II low-type intermediate frame outriggers.

3. Lower horizontal section: The lower horizontal section adopts low-type intermediate frame legs.
