In the future, the conveyor will develop towards large-scale development, expanding the scope of use, automatic material sorting, reducing energy consumption, and reducing pollution.
1. Continue to develop toward large scale. Upscaling includes several aspects such as large conveying capacity, large single machine length and large conveying inclination. The length of the hydraulic conveying device has reached more than 440 kilometers. The length of a single belt conveyor is nearly 15 kilometers, and a "belt conveyor road" consisting of several sets connecting A and B has appeared. Many countries are exploring a more complete conveyor structure for long-distance, large-volume continuous conveying of materials.
2. Expand the scope of use of the conveyor. Develop conveyors that can work under high temperature and low temperature conditions, in environments with corrosive, radioactive, and flammable substances, and that can transport hot, explosive, agglomerated, and viscous materials.
3. Make the structure of the conveyor meet the requirements of the automatic control of the material handling system for a single machine. For example, the trolley conveyor used by the post office to automatically sort parcels should be able to meet the requirements of the sorting action.
4. Reducing energy consumption to save energy has become an important aspect of scientific research in the field of transportation technology. The energy consumed by transporting 1 ton of material for 1 kilometer has been taken as one of the important indicators for conveyor selection.
5. Reduce the dust, noise and exhaust gas generated by various conveyors during operation.
The belt conveyor has the advantages of large conveying capacity, simple structure, convenient maintenance, and standardized components. It is widely used in mining, metallurgy, coal and other industries to convey loose materials or finished items. According to the requirements of the conveying process, it can be conveyed by a single It can also be composed of multiple units or combined with other conveying equipment to form a horizontal or inclined conveying system to meet the needs of different layout types of operation lines. It is suitable for conveying powdery and granular materials with a bulk density of less than 1.67/ton/m3 and easy to dig out. , Small lumps of low-abrasive materials and bagged materials, such as coal, gravel, sand, cement, fertilizer, grain, etc. The temperature of the sent material is less than 60°C. Its captain and assembly form can be determined according to the user's requirements. The drive can be an electric drum or a drive device with a drive frame.
