Common Components
| Component Name | Materials/Types | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Conveyor Belt | Rubber, PVC, PU, etc. | To carry and transport materials |
| Drive Pulley | Steel or Rubber-covered | To drive the conveyor belt through friction |
| Redirect Pulley | Steel or Rubber-covered | To redirect the conveyor belt's direction of travel |
| Idlers | Steel, Plastic (Trough, Parallel, Self-aligning, etc.) | To support the conveyor belt, reducing friction with the frame |
| Drive Unit | Motor, Reducer, Coupling, etc. | To provide power for the conveyor belt's movement |
| Tensioning Device | Screw Tensioner, Weight Tensioner, etc. | To maintain appropriate tension in the conveyor belt, preventing slippage |
| Cleaner | - | To remove residual materials from the conveyor belt, preventing build-up |
| Anti-deviation Device | - | To prevent the conveyor belt from deviating from its path, ensuring smooth operation |
| Conveyor Frame | Steel or Aluminum | To support and fix various components of the conveyor |
Wear Parts
| Wear Part Name | Wear Cause | Maintenance Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Conveyor Belt | Material friction, stretching, aging, etc. | Regular inspection and replacement to ensure smooth operation |
| Idlers | Wear of bearings and outer shell due to long-term use | Regular inspection and replacement to prevent belt damage from failed idlers |
| Drive Pulley and Redirect Pulley | Surface wear due to long-term contact with the conveyor belt | Regular inspection of the rubber cover, replacing the pulley or recoating if necessary |
| Cleaner | Friction with materials and the conveyor belt during cleaning | Regular inspection of the cleaner blade, timely replacement |
| Tensioning Device | Wear and failure of components due to long-term use | Regular inspection of the tensioning device's condition, adjustment and replacement if necessary |
| Coupling and Bearings | Friction and fatigue damage during mechanical movement | Regular lubrication and inspection, timely replacement of damaged parts |
Through regular maintenance and timely replacement of wear parts, the service life of the belt conveyor can be effectively extended, ensuring its efficient operation.
