scraper conveyor

Scraper conveyor is a continuous conveying machine with flexible traction components, which can be used to convey bulk materials such as dust, small particles and small blocks in horizontal, inclined and vertical directions. It is often used in coal mines, metallurgy, building materials, chemicals, etc. Various industrial fields.

Scraper conveyor is a commonly used material conveying equipment. It uses scraper traction machinery to move materials from one place to another. It can convey materials in a sealed manner, with high work efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection.

5 items need to be checked before starting the scraper conveyor

In order to ensure the normal operation and service life of the scraper conveyor, relevant inspections are required every time the equipment is turned on. This article will elaborate on the tightness of the belt, the amount of oil in the transmission system, the temperature of the reduction box, the tension of the scraper, and the direction of conveying.

Belt tightness

The conveying force of the belt is needed in the conveying process of the scraper conveyor, and the tightness of the belt is an important factor affecting the operation effect. Therefore, it is necessary to check the tightness of the belt every time before starting the scraper conveyor. If the tightness is too large or too small, it will affect the normal operation of the conveyor. The specific inspection method is: when the conveyor is not turned on, check the tightness of the belt by manually adjusting the interval to ensure that it can just touch the roller and the clutch.

The amount of oil in the transmission system

The amount of oil in the transmission system is another important factor that affects the operation of the scraper conveyor. Because if the amount of oil in the transmission system is insufficient or too much, it will have a negative impact on the transmission effect, and even cause the equipment to fail to operate normally. Therefore, before each use of the scraper conveyor, check the amount of oil in the transmission system. If it is too little, add oil. If it is too much, you should release part of it in time to ensure that the amount of oil is within the specified range. .

The temperature of the gearbox

The reducer is an important part of the scraper conveyor, which is responsible for controlling the conveying speed of the conveyor and controlling the direction of rotation. The temperature of the reducer box is an important factor affecting the normal operation of the reducer. Therefore, before each operation of the scraper conveyor, it is necessary to check the temperature of the reduction box. If the temperature is found to be too high, corresponding measures should be taken in time to avoid adverse effects on the equipment.

The tension of the scraper

As a very important part in the scraper conveyor, the scraper is responsible for controlling the conveying amount of materials. The size of its tension has a very important impact on the conveying efficiency and service life of the scraper conveyor. Therefore, before each use of the scraper conveyor, check the tension of the scraper, if the tension is too large or too small, it will affect the normal operation. The specific inspection method is: manually adjust the gap of the scraper, check whether the tension of the scraper is appropriate, and ensure that it is in the best condition.

Delivery direction

The conveying direction of the scraper conveyor is also an aspect that needs to be checked, because improper setting of the conveying direction will have a negative impact on the conveying speed and flow direction of the material. Therefore, before starting the scraper conveyor every time, you should check whether the conveying direction is correct to ensure that the conveying direction and flow direction of the material are correct.

Summary

The pre-operation inspection of the scraper conveyor is an important step to ensure the normal operation of the scraper conveyor and prolong its service life.

The inspection before operation plays a very important role in the normal operation and service life of the scraper conveyor. A comprehensive inspection before starting the scraper conveyor can help users find problems in time, reduce the possibility of equipment failure and damage, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment.
