Application and Fault Analysis of Mobile Belt Conveyors

Mobile belt conveyors are widely used in modern industrial production. They not only improve material handling efficiency, but also reduce errors in human operation. However, in actual operation, they may also face a variety of faults that affect production efficiency. Here are several common faults and solutions I have summarized for reference.

1. Belt deviation

Belt deviation is one of the most common problems in mobile belt conveyors. It is usually caused by improper installation of the equipment or changes in its working conditions.

Solutions:
    1) Check and adjust the guide device to ensure that the belt is aligned with the center of the conveyor;
    2) Check the belt tension regularly and adjust it appropriately to maintain normal belt tension;
    3) The wear of positioning devices such as guide wheels should also be checked and replaced regularly.

2. Drum wear

The drum is an important component in the transmission system, and its wear will directly affect the operation of the conveyor belt. Due to wear, the belt may not maintain sufficient grip, resulting in the inability of materials to move normally.

Solutions:
    1) Check the wear of the drum regularly;
    2) Replace the severely worn drum in time to ensure the normal operation of the system;
    3) Apply suitable lubricating oil in the initial stage to reduce the chance of wear.

3. Damaged conveyor belt

Damage of the conveyor belt will not only lead to the interruption of material transportation, but also may cause further damage to the equipment, so it is very important to detect and deal with it in time.

Solutions:
    1) Regularly check the wear of the conveyor belt surface;
    2) For minor damage, special glue can be used to repair it;
    3) For serious damage, it is recommended to replace the conveyor belt with a new one to ensure safety and efficiency.

4. Electrical failure

The electrical system of the mobile belt conveyor controls the operation of the equipment, so electrical failure is also a focus of attention.

Solutions:
    1) Regularly conduct a comprehensive inspection of electrical components;
    2) Timely check and replace damaged wires and electrical components;
    3) Ensure that electrical equipment is well grounded to reduce the occurrence of equipment failures.

Summary

Understanding the common faults of mobile belt conveyors and their solutions will help improve the working efficiency and service life of the equipment and ensure the smooth operation of the production line. Therefore, in daily management, enterprises should strengthen regular inspection and maintenance of equipment to prevent potential problems.
