Comparison of automated conveyor line types: belts, rollers, chain plates Applicable scenarios

​Hey, are you struggling with which conveyor line to choose?Looking at the variety of equipment in the factory, belts, rollers, chain plates around the head dizzy? Do not panic! Today we will use the vernacular to dismantle the core differences between these three types of conveyor lines -Remember, choosing equipment is like choosing shoes, the fit is more important than the brand!It's up to you.​Material Characteristics、环境条件和行业需求​If you choose the wrong one, your production line will go on a "strike" in a minute.

Belt conveyor line: the "carrier" of light and small parts and long-distance transport.

​Q: What exactly does a beltline carry?​
​A: Light and small pieces and powdered granules are its home turf!The core relies on belt friction to drive the material, with the advantage offlexible contactrespond in singingFlexible Layout. Specifically so picked:

1. ​Applicable material type​

   • ​Light goods in cartons/bags(<20kg): Selection with eyes closedrubber bandLow cost and durable.
   • ​Food & Pharmaceutical Grade:.Food grade PU beltIt's just what's needed, otherwise health inspections are bound to roll over.
   • negative example: You transport high-temperature ingots? Ordinary belts are deformed at 60°C! We have to change it.Heat-resistant steel strip​

2. ​Scenario Advantage​

   • ​Climber: inclination 12°~24° easy to cope with (any steeper and you have to use patterned belts)
   • ​Ultra-long distance domination: Easy to do more than 10 kilometres on a single machine
   • ​Silent Champion: Lower noise level than drum line 30%

3. ​Achilles' heel​

   • ❌be afraid of the heat: Rubber ageing over 60°C, direct melting at 150°C
   • ❌Fear of wet and sticky materials: Flour syrup? Can't get rid of the sticky belt in minutes!

Second, the roller conveyor line: large and heavy goods and flexible diversion of the "all-rounder".

​Q: I've heard that roller lines can carry tanks?​
​A: An exaggeration, but a car chassis can really be transported!The core is transported by rolling friction, thestrong bearer+modularisationIt's killer. Use it this way so you don't step in a hole:

​Industry Adaptation Guide::

• ​e-commerce warehouse:: SelectionFrequency conversion speed control roller lineNo pressure to cope with burst order diversion
• ​car factory: Use ofAccumulation roller lineSeamless integration of body suspension and ground conveyance
• ​be warned with tears of blood (idiom); a reminder of the past: Conveying chemical drums?Stainless steel rollers + sealed bearingsIt is a life-saving configuration! Ordinary steel parts rust through in three months when exposed to acids and alkalis.

Chain conveyor line: the "steel warrior" for heavy loads and harsh environments.

​Q: Are chainplates and chainplates still different?​
​A: Light chain plates carry mineral water, heavy chain plates can carry engines!Circular traction of metal chain plates is the essence ofmanufacturabilityrespond in singingProcess IntegrationCrush the whole field:

1. ​Grading of load-bearing capacity​

   • ​Lightweight chain plate(engineering plastics): beverage bottles, express boxes exclusive, load-bearing ≤ 100kg
   • ​Heavy Duty Chain Plate(alloy steel): specialised in automotive gearboxes and motor chassis.Carrying two tonnes like it's nothing.​

2. ​Harsh Environment Survival​

   • ​hot shop(>150°C).Heat-resistant steel chain plate + water-cooled tankassemble
   • ​Washing and sterilisation line: Direct pressure washing?All stainless steel chain platetake it with a smile
   • counter case: Carbon steel chainplates for electronics factories? Electrostatic sparks ignite the dust! MustAntistatic coating​

3. ​Industry customised masterpieces​

   • Car factory.Differential chain plate lineBody caching and synchronised assembly
   • Brewery.Turning chain plate machine+Spray Sterilisation in one go

Personal opinion: Don't be crippled by "jack of all trades"!

After ten years of production line planning, I'll give you three ironclad rules:
​1. Light-duty special upper plates--Electronic factory with chain plate line? The electric bill is 40% higher than a belt line, and it's so noisy that employees wear earplugs!
​2. Narrower spaces look at rollers first--Warehouse aisle <1.5 metres?Spiral drum lineSaves ground over belt turns 50%
​3. Food factories away from carbon steel-- The money saved on materials is not enough to cover a fraction of a month's worth of corrosion repairs!

Final Soul Torture:
❓Do you really need to spend $800,000 on a smart chain link line?Small workshop with roller line + manual sorting, efficiency as usual top full!
❓Vendors touting "universal coverage"?Let's try him on the spot with a load of ingots climbing a hill-Scenario matching is the way to go!​
