简体中文 I do not know how to quickly increase the powder, but the automated production of the conveyor link if the problem, minutes can make your production line paralysed into scrap metal! Believe it or not? Last month there is a food factory, because of the chopped pepper stuck conveyor belt, the whole line stopped for 12 hours, directly burned 15 million.Automated production line ah, to put it bluntly is "the art of material flow" - and conveying system, is to make this flow don't cut off the lifeblood!Today, let's talk about how much is hidden in this seemingly simple "conveyor belt".
First, the conveyor system by virtue of what is the blood vessels of the production line?
Think about it, even the most powerful production equipment, if the material can not be sent in, the finished product can not be transported out, is not a pile of scrap metal?Conveyor link accounts for more than 60% of line failure rateWhy is it so easy to get into trouble?
- The material characteristics are very strange.For example, bad chillies are sticky and seedy, so an ordinary belt will turn into paste after two laps; what about metal parts? It's too heavy to roll and hit the equipment.
- The process interface is as precise as it needs to be: Equipment A has finished its work, but equipment B has not yet been freed up to receive the material? The material is immediately piled up into a mountain
- Space constraints force the design to dieThe plant is so big, and the conveyor line has to turn and climb uphill, just like a game of Snake.
Real tragedy: a factory with a flat belt to transport chopped peppers, every 2 hours to clear the sticky material, the workers pulled out the side of the curse
Second, four kinds of conveyor equipment, white second to understand how to choose
Don't listen to sales blowing "universal type", conveying equipment is the same as shoes - fit is the king! Directly on the comparison table:
| Conveyor line type | Applicable Scenarios | greatest strength | Achilles' heel | typical application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| belt conveyor | Light dry goods (e.g. boxes) | Cheap! Simple structure | Fear of wet and sticky, easy to slip | e-commerce sorting |
| roller conveyor | Boxes/trays (with bottom plane) | Strong load-bearing and cornerable | Small parts are easy to jam | Automotive assembly |
| Chain plate conveying line | Heavy metal parts (engines/machine tools) | Steel plate to carry the construction, smash-resistant | Noisy and hard to clean oil | machinery manufacturing |
| Stainless steel mesh belt | Wet sticky materials (bad chilli/sauce) | Permeable and anti-adhesive, cleans up with a high pressure wash. | High cost and complex installation | food processing |
The point is: the "clingers" like the bad chillies.Stainless steel mesh belt + 25° inclinationIt's a life saving combination! Mesh holes leak juice, mirror polish without hanging material, save 80% clearing blocking time than PVC tape
III. 3 Black Technology Designs for Anti-Blocking and Anti-Paralysis
You think it's just a tape that rolls and rolls?The IQ of the conveyor system is in the details.::
- Dynamic shunts: Add before the chopperTurbine cutterThe long fibres are first chopped to <2cm and thenCentrifugal manifolds-Heavy particles dumped outside the ring, light debris falling inside the ring, mixed with the plugging of direct scrapping
- Self-cleaning drum systemLaser engraved diamond-shaped bumps on the surface of the roller (spacing of 3cm), turn up automatically scrape residue, 10 seconds of downtime high-pressure water flushing, workers do not even need to take a brush!
- Gravity-sensitive guiding: Material runout over 5%?Intelligent rollers automatically adjust tension immediatelyI don't know! It's like lane keeping in a car. If it's crooked, I'll break it back for you.
Fourth, the soul torture: so complex how to maintain?
Someone must have muttered: it's smart and shunted, so if it breaks down, can't you ask an expert to fix it?
Remember these three strokes, the masters are all convinced you::
- Daily life-saving operations: Rinse the mesh belt with 80°C hot water (don't use chemicals! High temperature dissolves sugar into gelatin)
- Weekly mandatory items: Picking at the chilli seeds in the roller bearing seams! This stuff seeps in and wears out three times faster.
- sudden response: Prepare the "corrugated edge + stainless steel mesh" kit, replace it in 30 minutes if it breaks.
Truth about cost: a 10 tonne per day line with intelligent diversion is about $600,000, but the savings in labour + material wastage + electricity costs thatPayback in 8 months.! Capacity of a plant in Guizhou soars 35% after renovation
V. A guide to avoiding the pit for the little white man - blood and tears for a change!
Q: Is the faster the conveyor line speed the better?
A: Big mistake! Chain conveyor line speed up will increase the power load, may pull off the chain; belt line too fast will also trigger vibration noise.Suggestion: Measure the material characteristics first, like bad chilli, the belt speed over 0.5m/s will splash red all over the place!
Q: How do I fit a conveyor line in a small space?
A: TryModular design! For example, with a retractable roller line, the longest and shortest state ratio of up to 3 times; or with a hanging chain conveyor line, directly hanging the material in the air to go - to save land and avoid ground equipment fights.
Q：Centralised or distributed control system?
A: Small plant selectiondistributed-Each equipment is independently controlled, bad does not affect the whole line; large plants to select thecentralised-One brain for the whole body, stable but expensive to maintain.
The last throw a big truth: conveyor line is not "can move on the line", it is the whole production line breathing rhythm!Those jamming, spilling, frequent downtime crap, ninety percent of the conveying system did not match the material temperament. Remember--Diversion of anti-clogging rely on dynamic, selection of the first look at the sticky or not stickyNext time someone tells you that you're a "generic", just slap this in their face!
