Advantages of belt conveyor

Belt conveyor is the main way of conveying bulk materials at present, which can be widely used in mining, metallurgy, building materials, chemical industry, electric power, food processing and other industrial fields. In coal mines, metal mines, iron and steel enterprises, ports, cement plants and other places can see a large number of applications of belt conveyor, transport machinery can not only complete the transportation of bulk materials, but also to transport into the material, but according to the use of the location, the working environment, the type of conveying materials, in its design and application will also have a big difference. It can not only complete its own continuous conveying of materials, but also be combined with other mechanical equipment in the factory enterprise to form a large-scale fully automated production process. Let the enterprise save a lot of labor costs.

Advantages of belt conveyor:

1. Wide variety of conveying materials

Conveying materials can range from fine powders to large ores, stones, coal or pulpwood, as well as conveying fine sieves or small droplets of fragile materials. Due to the high corrosion resistance of the rubber conveyor belt, the maintenance cost is relatively low when transporting strongly corroded or worn materials. The belt conveyor can also transport alkaline materials and hot materials at a certain temperature, and can also transport items into blocks.

2. Wide range of conveying capacity

The conveying capacity of the belt conveyor can meet the required conveying tasks. There are light belt conveyors that can complete the conveying task with a small conveying capacity, and there are large belt conveyors that can achieve thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of conveying tasks per hour.

3, the transmission line adaptability

The belt conveyor can adapt to terrain with a slope of 30% to 35%, while for truck transportation, it can only adapt to the original natural terrain with a slope of 6% to 8%. Conveyor lines can be adapted to the terrain, curving in space and horizontally, reducing capital investment and preventing factories or other densely populated areas from being disturbed by railways, roads, rivers and mountains. The conveyor line of the belt conveyor is more flexible, and the length of the line can be extended as needed.

4, flexible handling

According to the requirements of the process, the belt conveyor can flexibly receive materials from one or more points, and can also unload materials to multiple points or several sections.

5, high security

Compared with other modes of transport, the belt conveyor has high safety, low requirements for production personnel, and low probability of accidents. It will not cause accidents due to falling of large materials, crushing of personnel or failure of large and heavy vehicles.

6. Low cost

Of all the tools used to transport bulk materials, belt conveyor systems typically require lower man-hours and energy consumption per ton to transport bulk materials. And maintenance personnel spend less time, and the repair and replacement of smaller parts can be done quickly on site, with low maintenance costs.
