简体中文 Are you in the headache of choosing conveyor line for your factory? Look at a bunch of parameters two eyes confused, rubber belt, stainless steel body, motor direct drive, chain drive ...... These words sound like a big head? Don't panic, today we will use the most straightforward vernacular, the inclined conveyor line how to choose the material, how to pick the drive mode of this matter to break open the rubbing said clearly.
Newbie white want to understand the inclined conveyor line, just like the newbie how to quickly increase the powder, you have to first find out their real needs. You do not even know what you want to transport, how much to transport, directly ask "which conveyor line is the best", just like asking "what car is the best" - trucks transporting ore and delivery van! How can they be the same?
First, the purchase of the 3 souls must be clarified before torture
1. What the hell are you transporting?
- Is it a light, fluffy grain of powder like flour and sugar? Or is it an iron lump like car parts? （The weight determines how well the belt will hold up.)
- Will the material corrode the equipment? For example, acid and alkali raw materials in a chemical factory, or soy sauce and vinegar in a food factory (corrosivity determines whether stainless steel or ordinary carbon steel is used)
- Do you need to prevent pollution? Pharmaceutical, food production line if mixed into the iron chips and grease, the whole batch directly scrapped (hygiene standards force you to choose food-grade PVC or all stainless steel)
2. How many "trips" per day?
- Small workshop delivers hundreds of kilos a day: ordinary rubber bands + basic motors are enough
- Logistics centre 24 hours non-stop machine transport dozens of tonnes: have to be on the reinforced chain + frequency control motor, otherwise three days to strike!
3. Did the venue "shoe you in"?
- What is the angle of the slope? 15° and 35° use twice as much drive power (the higher the angle, the harder the motor has to work).
- Is the humidity in the workshop high? Seafood processing plant that kind of wet environment, ordinary motor minutes rust (have to choose waterproof IP65 motor)
- Is space crowded? Choose modular chain plate for narrow workshop, disassembling and assembling is more flexible than Lego (saving space is saving money)
Second, the material showdown: rubber / PVC / stainless steel in the end who is your "real man"?
A direct comparison table is more intuitive:
| Material Type | show how well one can carry a project | what are you afraid of? | Scenario | price range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rubber band | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Oil, UV | Coal transport in mines, bricklaying for building materials | cheapest |
| PVC belt | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | High temperatures, sharp objects | E-commerce express sorting, small parts assembly line | moderate |
| PU belt | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | strong acids and alkalis | Precision electronic factory, clean room | Upper middle class |
| stainless steels | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Chloride ion (seawater) | Food processing, chemical plants, seafood cold storage | Expensive but won't be replaced in 10 years |
To give a real example: Dongguan, a chili factory originally used ordinary rubber belts, the results of oil stains seeped into the belt can not be cleaned, was pulled out by the quality inspection of colony exceeded the standard. Switch toFood Grade PVC TapeAfter, directly with a high-pressure water gun, cleaning time from 2 hours to 20 minutes. And a Zhejiang automobile factory welding workshop withStainless steel body + PU beltThe metal sparks don't even make a mark on it, saving you $30,000 a month in maintenance costs.
Third, how to choose the drive method? Don't be bluffed by professional terms!
1. Direct motor drive - the "honest man" who saves money and effort
- Pros: plug and run, negligible failure rate
- Disadvantages: low force (load ≤ 1 tonne), speed can not be adjusted (like a car with cruise control)
- Applicable Scenarios: Snack factories shipping biscuit boxes, garment factories passing bags
2. Chain drive - the "old bull" that can carry heavy work
- Advantage: 30 tonnes of coal ore can be pulled as it is, and the mine is as stable as ever on the steep slopes.
- Cons: Noise comparable to a tractor (≥85dB), have to add lubricant regularly
- secret weapon: Ceramic bearings bring the noise down to 65 decibels (about the same as a fridge humming)
- Applicable Scenarios: Car body transport in car factories, coal block transport in coal mines
3. Gear-driven - the "smart housekeeper" for smart budgeting
- Advantage: speed accuracy to 0.1 m/s (e.g. vaccine bottle filling lines require milliseconds)
- Black technology: inverter + PLC control, sensing the material less automatic speed reduction and energy saving, measured power saving 30%
- Applicable Scenarios: Pharmaceutical factory assembly line, high-end mobile phone assembly workshop
Fourth, the soul torture: my scene in the end how to match?
Q: How do I choose a food factory to make bread that is wet and still afraid of bacteria?
→solution:.Full stainless steel body + food grade PU belt + gear drive
Reason: stainless steel punch stainless, PU belt water and detergent resistant, gear drive precise control of fermentation time. A bakery factory renovated FDA spot check once through
Q: What should I do if I am transporting ore in a mine and the slope is steep and it costs electricity?
→solution:.Wear-resistant rubber belt + chain drive + permanent magnet motor
Reason: the rubber belt is not hurt by the stone scraping, the chain can carry 30 tonnes of pressure, permanent magnet motor than ordinary motors to save electricity 40%, Shanxi coal mines measured annual electricity savings of 5 million!
Q: Small workshop on a tight budget, just trying to make do?
→solution:.Carbon steel bracket + rubber belt + base motor direct drive
But be careful: don't exceed 1 tonne in weight, and don't exceed 20° in gradient, or the motor will burn up and you'll lose more money!
Editor's view
Dry ten years of factory equipment procurement, I have seen too many people planted in the pit - food factories to save money with carbon steel, half a year rust through the water leakage shutdown; logistics centre to buy cheap miscellaneous motors, the midnight crash to lose all the freight. Remember three words.Corrosive environment stainless steel closed-eye punch, heavy-duty slopes recognised chain drive, precision assembly line must be frequency controlDon't believe in "all-purpose machine", the conveyor line is like wearing shoes. Don't believe in "all-purpose machines". Conveying lines are like wearing shoes, it's the fit that counts.
