When conveying materials, the belt conveyor generally needs to consider the characteristics of the conveyed materials, such as density, relatively large particle size, presence or absence of oil or chemicals, etc.; whether the material has a certain degree of corrosiveness or acidity and alkalinity, etc., which will affect the service life of the belt conveyor accessories conveyor belt. There are also factors such as the specific gravity of the material, large particle size, whether it is blocky or powder particles, etc., which need to be considered when designing the belt conveyor.
The conveying line layout of the belt conveyor; the distance between the head and tail rollers along the conveyor, such as the belt conveyor needs to turn according to user needs, etc., it is also necessary to consider whether the conveyor belt can withstand tension at the turning part. In the industrial and mining industry, many long-distance fixed belt conveyors will climb and turn according to needs, so at this time, it is also necessary to consider the conveyor belt's ability to withstand tension.
The carrying capacity of the belt conveyor is the conveying capacity, bandwidth, belt speed, etc. Generally, the tension that a conveyor belt can withstand is limited. If the specific gravity of the material is large and the conveyor belt cannot withstand the tension generated during the operation of the conveying equipment, the conveyor belt will be easily broken. At this time, you can consider choosing a conveyor belt with multiple layers and a steel wire rope core. The joint form of the conveyor belt used by the belt conveyor is also related to the operation of the belt conveyor. For example, at this stage, most of the conveyor belt joints are cut flat and aligned at both ends of the conveyor belt, and then tightened with screws. There are also some other joint methods.
