Belt conveyors

What is belt conveyor?

Belt conveyor, also called tape conveyor, is an indispensable and economical logistics conveying equipment to form a rhythmic flow line. According to its conveying capacity, there are heavy belt conveyor such as mining belt conveyor, light belt conveyor such as used in electronics and plastics, food and light industry, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Belt conveyor has strong conveying capacity, long conveying distance, simple structure and easy maintenance, and can easily implement programmed control and automatic operation. Continuous or intermittent movement of the conveyor belt is used to convey parcels, goods under 100KG, or powder or granular goods, and its operation is high speed, smooth and low noise, and it can convey up and down the slope.

Belt conveyor working principle?

The belt conveyor is mainly composed of two end-point rollers and a closed conveyor belt tightly set on them. The roller that drives the belt to rotate is called the drive pulley (transmission pulley); the other roller that only lies in changing the direction of the belt movement is called the redirection roller, which we also call the head and tail pulley. The drive roller is driven by an electric motor through a reducer, and the belt is dragged by friction between the drive roller and the belt. The drive pulley is generally installed at the discharge end to increase the traction force and facilitate dragging. The top and bottom of the conveyor are arranged with many supporting conveyor rollers to reduce the resistance of operation. The material is fed from the feeding end, falls on the rotating conveyor belt, and is transported to the discharge end by the friction of the conveyor belt.

Qingdao Palet machinery is one of the biggest belt conveyor manufacturers in china, and we can customize and supply the belt conveyors and manufacture the belt conveyor parts and sections according to the customer’s requirements.
