Introduction
A patterned conveyor belt is an inclined conveyor belt composed of a patterned covering adhesive on the working surface and a flat covering adhesive and belt core on the non working surface.
Pattern conveyor belt · Features:
✔
Core materials: Ordinary cotton canvas (CC), polyester cotton blended canvas (CP), nylon (NN), polyester (EP), etc.
✔
Bandwidth: 300~800mm
✔
Pattern height: 5, 10, 15, 20mm. (Pattern shape can be designed according to user requirements)
✔
Function: Suitable for conveying materials with an inclination angle of 0-40°, preventing material from sliding down.
Commonly Used Patterned Conveyor Belts
Herringbone pattern
Folding feature: There are "human" shaped patterns on the belt surface that are higher than the belt body. The patterns can be open or closed, and each pattern can be divided into three types: high, medium, and low.
Folding purpose: Suitable for conveying powdered, granular, and small materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 40 degrees, as well as bagged materials.
Striped pattern
Folding feature: There are strip-shaped patterns on the belt surface that are higher than the belt body, and the patterns are divided into three types: high, medium, and low. Each type of pattern can be divided into sparse, dense, and other forms according to the arrangement spacing.
Folding purpose: Suitable for horizontal conveying of packaging materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 30 degrees. If the groove is formed, it can replace the herringbone pattern.
Granular pattern
Folding feature: There are granular patterns on the belt surface that protrude from the belt body or are embedded in the belt body, and the pits can also be made into square holes, edges, and cloth patterns.
Folding purpose: Convex granular patterns are suitable for conveying soft packaging materials or materials that require gripping force (such as cardboard boxes) or non sliding conveying. The concave granular pattern is suitable for conveying granular materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 45 degrees.
Fan-shaped pattern
Folding feature: There are semi-circular (or 1/4 circular) patterns on the belt surface. When the tape is grooved, the pattern is intertwined into a fan-shaped (or semi-circular) shape, belonging to the high pattern category.
Folding purpose: Suitable for conveying powder, particles, and block materials with a large inclination angle of ≤ 45 degrees.
Other available patterns: Lawn patterns, fishbone patterns, diamond grid patterns, cross patterns, mesh patterns, inverted triangle patterns, horseshoe patterns, sawtooth patterns, small dot patterns, diamond patterns, snake skin patterns, cloth patterns, large frustum patterns, wave patterns, washboard patterns, straight patterns, golf patterns, large grid patterns, matte patterns, coarse texture patterns, grid patterns, etc.
Composition and Variety
Compose: The patterned conveyor belt consists of two parts: the base belt and the patterned belt.
Common varieties: Due to different materials being transported and varying inclination angles, the required pattern shape and height are also different. The commonly used varieties include: herringbone, octagonal, fishbone, U-shaped, cylindrical, pockmarked, etc.
Maintenance of Patterned Conveyor Belts
●
Keep clean during transportation and storage; avoid direct sunlight, rain, snow, and contact with acids, alkalis, oils, or organic solvents.
●
Keep at a distance of at least one meter from heating devices.
●
Warehouse temperature: 18-40 ℃; Relative humidity: 50-80%.
●
Must be placed in rolls and not folded. Flip once every quarter during storage.
●
Use adhesive bonding for joints for best performance.
●
Running speed should generally not exceed 2.5 meters per second.
●
Feeding direction should follow the running direction of the belt to minimize impact.
Precautions
With the popularization of conveyor belts in industrial production, correct use is particularly important. The following precautions should be taken:
1.
Avoid the roller being covered by material, which may cause ineffective rotation. Pay attention to lubrication of moving parts (do not oil the belt itself).
2.
Prevent the conveyor belt from starting under load.
3.
If the conveyor belt deviates, timely measures should be taken to correct it.
4.
When local damage is found, use artificial cotton for timely repair to prevent expansion.
5.
Avoid the belt being blocked by frames, pillars, or materials to prevent tearing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the maximum inclination angle for a patterned conveyor belt?
A: Depending on the pattern type, it can handle inclination angles from 0° up to 45°. For example, fan-shaped and concave granular patterns are suitable for angles up to 45°.
Q2: What materials are used for the belt core?
A: The core materials commonly used include ordinary cotton canvas (CC), polyester cotton blended canvas (CP), nylon (NN), and polyester (EP).
Q3: How should patterned conveyor belts be stored correctly?
A: They should be stored in rolls (not folded) in a warehouse between 18-40 ℃ with 50-80% humidity, away from heat sources and chemicals.
Q4: What is the recommended running speed for these belts?
A: Generally, the running speed should not exceed 2.5 meters per second. For high-wear or large block materials, a lower speed is recommended.
Q5: Which pattern is best for conveying powdered materials?
A: Herringbone and fan-shaped patterns are highly suitable for conveying powdered and granular materials at large inclination angles.
Q6: What should I do if the conveyor belt is damaged locally?
A: If local damage is found, you should use artificial cotton for timely repair to prevent the damage from expanding or causing further tearing.
