Components of Belt Conveyor in die casting inclues conveyor belts, ldlers, drive pulleys, tensioning devices, loading and unloading devices,etc.
What is belt conveyor ?
Belt conveyor is a continuous transportation equipment. It widely uses in industries, mining, ports, logistics, etc., It uses to transport various bulk materials or finished goods. Its main features include high efficiency, low energy consumption, simple structure, easy maintenance and strong adaptability.
1. Components of Belt Conveyor in die casting: Conveyor belts
Conveyor belts are the core components of belt conveyors, usually made of textile materials covered with rubber or plastic, with longitudinal and transverse strength. Its structure includes woven fiber fabric and covering layer, which can withstand tensile forces and maintain shape.
2. Components of Belt Conveyor in die casting: Idlers
Idlers use to support and protect conveyor belts. Moreover, it can ensure that they remain stable during operation. Idlers are divided into two types: straight rollers and self-aligning rollers. They usually install on the load-bearing side of the conveyor route to support loads and materials.
3. Components of Belt Conveyor in die casting: Drive Pulleys
Drive pulleys drive the conveyor belt through a motor. They are usually made of steel plate or cast iron. And they equip with bearings to reduce friction and wear. Then the position of the drive pulley determines the direction of movement of the conveyor belt.
4. Tensioning Devices
Tensioning devices use to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt. So that can ensure that it does not slip or slack during operation. Common tensioning methods include weight tensioning and spring tensioning.
5. Loading and Unloading Devices
These devices use to feed material into or remove material from the conveyor belt. For example, when material loading through a hopper, feeder or side plate/skirt, or material is unloaded using a push plate or scraper.
6. Cleaning Devices
Cleaning devices use to remove material residues accumulated on the conveyor belt. That to prevent conveyor belt wear. Common cleaning methods include scraper cleaning and rotating brush cleaning.
7. Structure
The structure frame supports the entire conveyor system, including rollers, drive devices and conveyor belts. Lightweight steel beams and columns usually use as supporting structures. And walkways and guardrails are equipped to ensure safe operation.
8. Auxiliary Components
Auxiliary components include protective covers, sealing blocks, impact plates, buffer pads, and so on. Which are used to protect the conveyor belt and ensure smooth flow of materials.
These components work together to ensure that the belt conveyor operates efficiently in die casting production. For example, during the die casting process, hot castings that have just left the mold are grabbed by a robot. And place on a slow-moving conveyor belt for cooling. In addition, the conveyor belt can also equip with an RFID scanning system for casting identification in automated production lines.
