How to solve the problem of conveyor line steering jamming

Equipment turn on the "crunch" stuck? Don't worry, three strokes to teach you to fix it!
Have you also encountered: the conveyor line to turn to half of the sudden "clunk", the material stuck dead, the production line directly paralysed?To put it bluntly, a steering jam is when the material "rolls over" in a curve.Today, let's talk about how to cure this "curve killer"! Today, let's talk about how to cure this "bend killer", to ensure that your production line is as smooth as Dev~!


First, first uncovered the "murderer": card material three culprits

1. Equipment design mines

  • Right Angle Corner Pit: 90° hard turn? The inertia of the material directly hits the wall and gets stuck!
  • Too big a gap hides a hidden danger: Can you stick your finger in the gap between the drum and the side plate? Irregular material will be stuck in it in minutes.
    Guess what? A fertiliser plant was shut down for 30 hours a month due to too many pipe elbows and jams!

2. The material itself "plays tricks"

  • Wet and sticky.Like fertilisers and food ingredients, when humidity is high, they stick to the rollers and can't be shaken off.
  • uglyLong, angular materials (e.g., steel bars, shaped packages) tend to "stop" when turning.

3. Rough handling and maintenance

  • Lubrication oil as a fiddle: Bearings dry grinding to smoke? Coefficient of friction soars 300%!
  • overloaded and stuffedConveying line is obviously limited to 1 tonne, have to pile up 2 tonnes of goods - skeleton steel wire taut broken, the surface of the raised "tumour", can not be stuck?

Second, the right medicine: anti-jamming god operation

The first move: to the equipment "surgery" - mechanical transformation

  • Rounding of curves: Change the 90° right angle toRounded corners with R ≥ 50 mmThe material slides through without hitting the wall.
  • Slit Disappearing Surgery::
    • Add on both sides of the rollerSilicone edge group(like a life preserver), the material hits and pops off automatically;
    • side panelTeflon wear-resistant plate, the coefficient of friction drops to 0.04, making it more slippery than ice!

case (law): A food factory changed a right-angle turn to a rounded arc, and the nut jam rate dropped 911 TP3T straight down!

The second move: to equipment "eyes" - intelligent monitoring

  • Laser sensor tracking: Material build-up detected? Immediately reduce speed + vibration to clear material.
  • Gyroscope anti-dumping: When steering at high speed, the centrifugal force of the material is calculated in real time, and a push is given in reverse when the limit is exceeded.
    key operation: Before the start of each dayAir gun for 5 minutes to blow the seams--An electronics factory reduced 701 TP3T downtime by this habit!

Tip #3: Operator's Manual Highlights - A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls

the road ruin correct posture effect
Wet material directly on the conveyor line after allclothes dryerHumidity control <12% Adhesion risk ↓80%
Mixing of different materials Retrofitting of manifoldsbatch Jam rate ↓65%
No oil change for three years Monthly addition of sodium bentonite grease Bearing life ↑3 times

Third, what should I do if I'm stuck? First aid triple axe!

  1. Immediately shoot for an emergency stop!Don't go in too hard, and watch out for the rollers crumbling to pieces (ever seen a bearing blow up?). It's pretty scary).
  2. Try it in reverse.: Reverse 0.5 metres and then forward, 60% situation can "cough" out the foreign body.
  3. Look at the structure before you start::
    • Clogging of tonne bags→ Removing the side panels is faster than hard yanking;
    • Bearing lock-up→ diesel immersion (Don't burn it with fire! It'll deform.).

Fourth, the old and new programmes PK! Money should be spent on the knife edge!

sports event Conventional Right Angle Turn Optimisation of anti-jamming solutions How much do you save?
Modification costs 0 (but 20,000 monthly repairs) 50-80,000 Payback in 6 months
Floor space Buffer zone 3m long to be reserved Straight up against the wall. Provincial Land 60%
failure rate 3 cards per week ≤1 per month Save $180,000 in annual maintenance costs
A power plant test: after the transformation of large-scale workpiece damage to zero, saving 300,000 yuan a year!

Personal Viewpoint Time: jam-proofing is like car care-Routine maintenance (dust removal and lubrication) saves more money than a major overhaul! Instead of waiting for the jammed production to stop cursing, it is better to spend a little money to the equipment "upgrading equipment". After all, the production line stops 1 hour loss, enough to buy a car lubricant is not it? Remember, old iron.Let the equipment "live" for a long time, we can earn a steady income!
