What is a conveyor belt system?Belt conveyor is a kind of mechanical equipment using continuous movement of conveyor belt to carry and transport materials, which is widely used in industry, mining, port, logistics and other fields. Its core components include conveyor belt, driving device (motor, reducer), rollers, tensioning device and frame, etc. It can efficiently and stably transport bulk materials (such as ore, coal) or pieces of goods (such as parcels, parts).GET A QUOTEWhat are the features of conveyor belt?Efficient continuous transportationIt can run 24 hours without interruption, with large conveying capacity (up to tens of thousands of tons per hour), suitable for long-distance, high-intensity material handling needs.Simple structure, easy maintenanceModular design, standardization of components (e.g. rollers, belts), low installation and maintenance costs, low failure rate.Strong adaptabilityFlexible terrain: it can be arranged by horizontal, inclined (generally ≤30°) or curved routes, adapting to complex terrain.Variety of materials: can transport granules, powders, lumpy materials, and even high temperature (heat-resistant belts) and corrosive substances (special coatings).Low energy consumption and environmental protectionCompared with vehicle transportation, electric drive consumes less energy and has no exhaust emission; low operating noise, suitable for indoor and outdoor environments.Safe and ReliableEquipped with anti-skew, emergency stop, overload protection and other devices, with a high degree of automation (e.g. linkage with PLC control system), reducing the risk of manual intervention.Customized designBandwidth (commonly 500-2000mm), belt speed (0.8-4m/s), length (several meters for short, several kilometers for long) and special features (such as baffle, skirt anti-spill) can be adjusted according to demand.GET A QUOTEBelt conveyor 5 kinds of drive structure and advantages and disadvantages comparison01 Drum Motor DriveMotorized pulley is divided into external motorized pulley and built-in motorized pulley, the difference lies in the position of the motor.The difference lies in the position of the motor. The external type is that the motor is installed outside the pulley and rigidly connected with the pulley, while the built-in type is that the motor and reducer are installed inside the pulley.The difference lies in the different placement of the motor.Structure: The power of the motor is transmitted to the built-in reducer through the coupling, and the reducer is connected with the drum to drive the drum to rotate.The reducer is connected to the drum and drives the drum to rotate.Advantages: good sealing, especially suitable for dust-proof places, easy to install the driving device.Disadvantages: not easy to repair after damage, and can not be used for more than 40 degrees of occasions, need to enlarge the specification of one grade.The specification needs to be enlarged by one grade for selection. Commonly used power range: 1.5kw-30kw02 K Series Hollow Shaft Reducer TransmissionStructure: The power of the motor is directly transmitted to the reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is hollow shaft, which is directly set on the output shaft of the roller.The hollow shaft of the output shaft of the reducer is directly set on the roller output shaft.Advantages: 1) good sealing, especially suitable for anti-dust places; 2) easy installation, save beltwidth of the machine, widely used in Europe and the United States.Commonly used power range: 1.5kw-4.5kw03 Cycloid gear motor driveStructure: The power of the motor is transmitted to the input shaft of the gearhead, while the power output shaft of the gearhead is fitted with a sprocket, and the output shaft of the transmission drum is also fitted with a sprocket.The sprocket is also installed on the output shaft of the transmission drum, and the reducer transmits the power to the transmission drum through the chain.Advantages: simple structure, easy to replace parts, low cost.Disadvantages: not suitable for dusty occasions, the service life of the chain is greatly affected by the installation and working conditions.Commonly used power range: 1.5kw-22kw04 DCY hardened gear reducer transmissionStructure: The motor passes through the high-speed shaft coupling, reducer, and low-speed shaft coupling to transmit the power to the transmission drum.The power is transmitted to the transmission drum by the motor through the high-speed shaft coupling, reducer and low-speed shaft coupling.Advantages: reliable operation, suitable for high power.Disadvantages: High cost and large space occupation.Commonly used power range: 55KW-355KW05 Suspended reducer V-belt driveSmooth transmission, low impact on reducer and drive roller, slightly higher reducer priceGET A QUOTEProfessional manufacrurer, Fast delivery and overseas installation service to help speed up your project.
