Belt conveyor has many advantages, but it can not be taken lightly when transporting materials. Only by paying attention to the following points can we prevent mistakes in the process of material transportation. So, what factors should be considered when transporting materials by belt conveyor?

1. Moisture content of material

The moisture content of materials directly affects the transportation efficiency. Due to the high water content of materials, the materials are easy to stick to the spiral blade or the inner wall of the conveyor during transportation. With the progress of transportation, the adhered materials increase accordingly and the transportation volume decreases. In addition, the long-term adhered materials need to be removed manually, which seriously affects the transportation efficiency.

2. Temperature, abrasiveness and corrosivity

In short-term transportation, materials with strong temperature, grinding and corrosion have relatively little impact on the water transmission pipeline wall, but before that, the pipeline wall must be replaced in the environment of high temperature, high density and high corrosion, which undoubtedly increases the enterprise cost. If it can't be replaced or repaired in time, if the materials flow out during transportation, it really can't be spared.

3. Belt conveyor installation site

The belt conveyor shall be installed in a soft and closed place. Especially in the case of U-shaped shell, the sealing of the shell itself is general, and placing the conveyor outdoors will affect the conveyor effect. In addition, in the current environment of strict environmental protection, enterprises should choose appropriate sites both from the perspective of enterprises themselves and social ethics.

4. Blade

Different materials have different requirements for the blade shape of belt conveyor.

5. Spiral velocity

The faster the speed of the belt conveyor, the better the conveyor effect. However, the transportation effect must meet the standard of critical speed, which depends on the design of the equipment itself. When the spiral speed of many equipment exceeds the critical speed, the materials will jump and roll perpendicular to the transportation direction, reduce the transportation efficiency, increase energy consumption and accelerate the wear of equipment.
