5 Keys! Choose the right conveyor line: material + layout + cost full analysis

You just took over the factory production line transformation, the boss dumped a "conveyor line replaced", you stared at the screen full of belt line, roller line, chain line ...... is not an instant scalp numb? Don't panic! Newbie white can not figure out the conveyor line selection is too normal, today we will use thehuman language disassembly-How to use 5 key points to close your eyes and pick the right lifeline device!


Key One: YourThe material speaks for itself.Half the battle is won if you get it.

The material is the "examiner" of the conveyor line, believe it or not:

  • lit. shape plays a devil's game::
    📦 Cartons/rule pieces → straight onto the roller line (that's how courier sorting is played)
    🧩 Shaped parts → accumulating conveyor lines (jammed anti-roll)
    🥚 Fragile goods → air cushion conveyor line (like a cloud holding it up)
  • be crushed by weight::
    🔩 Heavy Machinery → Chain Conveyor Line (Carrying!)
    📱 Mobile Phone Cases → Lightweight Belt Line (Cheap and Power Saving)
  • plot against sb's life::
    🧂 Salted food → Stainless steel mesh belt (king of rust prevention)
    🧪 Chemical raw materials → Teflon coating (corrosion-resistant Buff)
    (Citing a lesson learnt through blood and tears: a factory used carbon steel wire to transport pickled parts, rusted through and leaked material in three months, and lost 300,000 yuan in downtime costs)

Key two.Workshop layout is a maths problem

Space gouging or dirtbagging? Straight up winners and losers:

take God's operation programme a booby-trap
corner-rich Modular mesh belt line (90° random rotation) Hard jamming of linear rollers (jamming!)
Floor height <3 metres Suspended conveyor lines (air steal space) Forcing a climbing line (bumping the top)
hot shop 300℃ resistant metal mesh belt Plain PVC belts (melted sticky rollers)

(An auto parts factory to save space with a screw conveyor line, the results of the teacher spit: "Bending over to repair equipment than carrying cement is even more tired!" --Maintenance channel left enough 80cm ah)


Key Three.Costs Don't Just Focus on the Price Tag

You think you're saving money? Hidden costs can swallow the entire budget!
⚡️ Electricity Assassin::

"An extra 10kW of motor power burns an extra $50,000 a year in electricity costs!" --Select drum motor drive over motor reducerPower Saver 30%

🔧 Bottomless pit of maintenance::

  • Poor quality chain: change parts month after month (20,000/hour loss per downtime)
  • Brand chain plate: 5 years free repair (expensive 30,000 but save 200,000 maintenance fee)

💸 Value for Money Formula::
(Price of equipment + 3 years' electricity cost + 5 years' maintenance cost) ÷ Life expectancy→ <3 years to payback to be considered a true scent!


Key Four.Maintenance is more about details than dating

Conveyor line temper tantrums? Mostly just asking for it!

  • Quick Fix Design::
    → modular webbing (single piece removal and replacement, 1 hour)
    → One-piece belt (cracked strip?) Full removal! From 8 hours)
  • Achilles' heel::
    Food factory forgets to wash mesh belts → fined $2 million for exceeding bacterial limits
    Electronic factory does not prevent static electricity → chip breakdown scrapped a car

Key Five.Safety is a red line. No bouncing.

Don't skip these life-saving configurations:

  1. emergency stop button: One every 10 metres (hand reach!)
  2. protective netting: Gap <8mm (anti-finger roll-in)
  3. overload protection: Overweight automatic power-off (to avoid motor burning to charcoal)

(A furniture factory omitted photoelectric sensors, workers rolled into the drum line and amputated their limbs - lost 2.8 million and stopped production)


Question and answer time

Q: Is expensive equipment always better?
→ Re! Car factories are worth their weight in gold with a millionfold chain (pinpointing), but food factories are the wrong kind of-The belt line is easy to clean and works well enough.

Q: The more automation the better?
→ Vigilance! Fully automatic cables turn to scrap metal when the power goes out.Semi-automatic + manual emergency accessIt's the life-saving combination.

Q: Can I trust the parameters stated by the manufacturer?
→ Take the material to test the machine! See with your own eyes the "1 tonne" line, put 800kg and it shakes into a sieve!


Editor's table-tapping summary.Don't be fooled by sales of "high end"!Remember these 5 steps:
① PutMaterial PhotographsTo the manufacturers (don't just talk!)
② TakeTape Measure WorkshopCorner dimensions (mobile phone for panoramic video)
(iii) CalculateTotal cost over 5 years(Don't miss out on electricity repairs!)
Gouge Maintenance Port Size(Can you get your hand in there?)
Safety features written into the contract(One less button to not pay!)

Conveyor line selection is not a metaphysicalIt's always the people who try to save time who step in the pit.--You're saving real money for the future with all the homework you're doing now!
