There is a science behind selecting the correct conveyor belt for your conveyors. Conveyor belt specification is both a process of elimination and, at the same time, honing in on the critical and fixed variables associated with your conveyor. This guide will steer you on the right path to selecting a better conveyor belt for your conveyor.
Luckily, the most important information in selecting the proper conveyor belt is also the easiest to put together- dimensions. Recording accurate dimensions for your belt is imperative to belt selection. Don't forget to take into consideration dimensions on any fabrications such as cleats, v-guides, hole punching, special covers, etc.
Gathering dimensions will allow your belting representative to potentially rule out certain belt constructions that may not track properly due to their width to length ratio.
收集好的所有尺寸可以讓您在挑選皮帶時,排除可能由于其寬長比導致易跑偏問題的皮帶結構。
Conveyor Information 輸送機信息
Gather as much physical information as possible about the conveyor. This will allow your belting representative to know exactly what they are working with.
Here are a few questions to consider when gather your information:
下面是當您收集信息時需要考慮的一些問題:
What are the pulley diameters? 托輥的直徑是多大?
Is it flat, incline, decline, or a gooseneck design? 其設計是平坦型,斜面型,下傾型還是鵝頸型?
Is there a back-bend on the pulleys? 托輥上是否有回彎?
Are your pulleys lagged? 托輥包膠了嗎?
Is it a slider or roller bed? 皮帶式輸送機還是滾筒式輸送機?
How fast is the belt traveling? 皮帶運行有多快?
About the Product and Application 關于產品及應用
The product and the application are critical pieces to understanding what is the best top cover for your belt. Make sure to consider the following when thinking about the conveyor use:
Do you need specific food safety requirements? 您是否對特殊食品安全有要求?
Is your product sticky, oily, powdery, or wet? 您的產品是否為粘性,油性,粉狀或者潮濕的?
Are you experiencing belt wear due to abrasion or cutting? 您是否遇到過因磨損或切割而導致的皮帶老化問題?
Are you looking for a belt that will not mark your product? 您是否在尋找一條不會在您產品上留下痕跡的皮帶嗎?
Environment 環境
The last piece to consider when selecting the proper conveyor belt for your conveyor is the environment where your conveyor is placed. Temperature, dust, and contaminates can effect how long a belt will last. These are just a few environmental factors to consider when discussing the selection of your conveyor belt.
