As a professional manufacturer in the global bulk material conveying equipment industry,
We have been deeply engaged in the R&D and production of core products such as belt conveyors, telescopic stackers, mobile ship loaders,
as well as key components including idlers, pulleys, and cleaning scrapers, serving customers around the world.
Combining industry practical experience and international benchmarking standards, we have sorted out some common questions for you,
with an FAQ table attached at the end for quick reference.
I. How to Select a Reducer? What are the Basis?
Reducer selection needs to consider multiple aspects. First, load characteristics: it is necessary to clarify whether the belt conveyor operates under
constant load or impact load (e.g., large material drop in the mining industry is prone to impact). For impact loads, the service factor needs to be further
increased to avoid component damage caused by instantaneous load. Second, motor power and transmission ratio: based on the designed conveying
capacity, belt speed and pulley speed of the belt conveyor, the output torque of the reducer should be accurately matched.
The calculation formula should combine load torque, starting torque and safety factor.
II. Is There Any Margin Considered in Belt Conveyor Design?
As the core equipment for bulk material conveying, the operating conditions of belt conveyors have uncertainties such as material fluctuations
and environmental changes. Therefore, reasonable margin (redundancy) must be reserved in the design stage,
which is the key to ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment and avoiding fault risks.
Moreover, the redundancy design must comply with international industry specifications to adapt to different application scenarios around the world.
III. What Intelligent Configurations are Required to Achieve Unattended Operation?
The core intelligent configurations for unattended operation include:
Tracked intelligent inspection robot: laying dedicated tracks along the belt conveyor corridor, integrating high-definition cameras, noise sensors,
temperature sensors, fire detectors and deviation recognition modules, which can conduct 24/7 uninterrupted along-line inspection with a
detection accuracy of ±0.5℃ (temperature) and ±1dB (noise). It supports the switching between remote control and autonomous cruise,
and uploads data to the central control platform in real time, replacing manual labor to complete high-risk and repetitive inspection work,
which has been successfully applied in Southeast Asian port projects
IV. What Precautions Should Be Taken for Belt Conveyors in Cold Regions?
Low-temperature environments in cold regions (such as Northern Europe, Siberia, Canada, etc., with the minimum temperature reaching below -40℃)
will cause problems such as material embrittlement, increased operating resistance and lubrication failure of belt conveyors. Combining the experience
of overseas cold region projects, we has formulated a special scheme from three aspects: material selection, structural design and system
configuration to ensure the stable operation of equipment.
