What Application of Sidewall Belt Conveyor in Thermal Power Plant?

1.Requirements for Belt Conveyor
Sidewall belt conveyor is the main equipment to transport coal and lime-ash in thermal power plant. Therefore it has the high security requirements. In general, the whole transit line is equipped with twin channel sidewall belt conveyor, one is put into use, another is as standby application device. Thus, this coal handling system must be equipped with sidewall belt conveyor with 2500m-3000m length. Applying sidewall belt conveyor to thermal powder plant, it can not only simplify procedure, but also save cost.
2.Features of Belt Conveyor in Power Plant
Due to power plant has high requirements for the security of equipment, technical requirements of sidewall belt conveyor are as follows:
1) It has different requirements for belt conveyor when it used to receive, convey or discharge materials. For instance, if the belt conveyor is used to receive materials, the belt speed of it shouldn’t be too high. If it is used to convey materials, it requires that trough angle of idler decrease properly. If plow discharger is put into use, the cover rubber of belt surface should be thicken properly. 
2)The belt speed should be low. Belt conveyor is mostly arranged in workshop, so it has high requirements for coal dust control. According to domestic and foreign practical experience, it’s better to adopt lower speed.
3)After installation of this machine, it seldom changes its layout.
4)Different coal type has different requirements for belt conveyor. For example, large coal particle size needs impact idler with high quality. Coal with less water and more dust needs guide chute with good sealing.

What is the Requirement for Belt Conveyor Restart-up?

When the belt conveyor stops , restart-up belongs to overload start. Thus it requires belt conveyor equipped with a frequency converter in order to overload start. Here PK Machinery will summarize the requirement of belt conveyor restart-up.

Belt conveyor in the pick-up for overloading startup, motor output torque, which every support to overcome below the belt between the wheel and the roller shaft caused by static friction torque, also want to overcome the material on the belt tension caused by the downward drag torque.

Materials on the belt tension caused by the downward drag torque is constant.But the static friction force is much larger than the dynamic friction, making it in order to overcome the initial startup of the static friction torque than the normal run-time dynamic friction torque caused by the much larger.

The inverter must have the function of the large starting torque at low speed.Actually in the process of starting, as a result of the belt scale, each wheel is time order one by one according to the rotation, will not rotate at the same time.Even if the wheel rolling, because of low speed between roller and roller shaft lubrication is not good, will be very acerbity, the dynamic friction is unstable, so low starting torque has the certain fluctuation.

So this kind of big starting torque at low speed is the need to maintain a certain period of time, usually at least a few seconds.The length of the belt and the minimum speed startup, and scalability of the belt.Because of the low speed, and startup torque and speed fluctuation will be big.

How the Fixed Belt Conveyor Roller Classify?

Roller is used to support the conveyor belt and carry of the material, to ensure the stability of the conveyor belt.
In general, the fixed belt conveyor roller is the following:
1.Trough roller: it is also known as carrying roller which is used for carrying bulk material;
2.Parallel roller: parallel upper roller is used for carrying materials, parallel lower roller is to support the return branch of the conveyor belt;
3.Self-aligning roller: it includes taper aligning supporting roller and friction aligning roller which are mainly used for adjusting the belt deviation to avoid S-shaped, so as to ensure the stable operation of conveyor belt;
4.Impact roller: it is installed in the lower part of the conveyor belt, which can reduce the impact of the conveyor belt to extend the service life of the conveyor belt;
5.Return roller: it supports the conveyor belt of lower branch,including parallel type, V type, inverse V type,etc. V and inverse V type roller can reduce the conveying belt deviation possibilities;
6.Transition roller: it is installed between the drum and the first set of roller, which makes the conveying belt gradually turns from through shape into or flat shape and reduce additional stress of the conveying band edge turns to trough shape due to the expansion, at the same time,it can prevent the material spreading phenomenon of conveyor belt.
In addition, the comb type roller and screw roller, which can remove the sticky material on conveyor belt to keep the conveyor belt clean. 

The Daily, Weekly, Monthly Belt Conveyor Check

When using the belt conveyor, less daily check and maintenance or do not pay attention to maintenance will greatly reduce the service life of the belt conveyor, when the belt conveyor problems occur, it will affect the work efficiency, so regular inspection for belt conveyor parts is needed.
Daily check
Mechanical items: inspect the guardrail, bridge, roller, pulley, turnabout pulley and belt.
Electrical items: inspect the anti-skid device, deviation switch, emergency stop switch, tear detection device, anti-reverse device.

Weekly check
Mechanical items: inspect the driving wheel, guide wheel section, reducer, inspect the machine's tail, check tensioning device and pull rope device.
Electrical items: inspect the main motor, inverter, filter, repair and inspect the main transformer wiring, electrical control, power system.
Monthly check
Mechanical items: inspect the rope wheel, transition wheel, guide wheel, driving wheel, belt wheel, tensioning car and check the oiling.
Electrical items: inspect the fastening bolts, fast switch; the maintenance and repair of commutator, limit protection, emergency stop protection and the alarm system.

Reasons of Drifting of Belt Conveyor

As one of the most common conveyors, belt conveyor is widely used in metallurgy, chemical, electricity, coal, mining, port, transportation and so on. In operation of belt conveyor, there is much drifting of the machine. The following is reasons of the phenomenon.

1. There is coal or other attachments in the surface of pulley or idler.

2. There is mistake in the degree of net post manufacture of driving pulley and bend pulley.

3. Driving pulley and bend pulley are not parallel.

4. Diameters of driving pulley and bend pulley are inconsistent.

5. Center line of driving pulley and bend pulley is not vertical with center line of machine body.

6. Feeding position is inappropriate.

7. Center of pulley is not in the center line of the machine.

8. Installation of idler is inappropriate.

9. Stiffness of frame is bad which causes the deformation of the machine.

10. Joint of belt conveyor is inappropriate or the belt conveyor is aging and deterioration.

11. Rotation of unilateral bearing is not flexible.

12. The damage of ware of the two side of driving pulley are inconsistent.

13. The adjusting device is damaged.

14. Girdle pulley in head and bend pulley are not parallel.

15. Center lines in both sides of belt conveyor are not consistent, or the margin of belt is heavily damaged.

16. Installation of feeder, unloader and sweeper is inappropriate.

17. Degrees of ware of two sides of coal unloading pulley are inconsistent.

18. Take-up tension of belt conveyor is not enough.

19. Feeding direction and height arrangement are inappropriate.

20. Support of idler is heavily damaged.

Maintenance Tips of Conveyor Belt

In the use and storage of conveyor belt, it should kept clean, avoid direct sunlight or exposed to rain and snow, prevent contact with acid, alkaline, oil, organic solvent and other substances, and also located at least one meter away from heating device. The temperature of the storage should maintained at between 18-40 ℃ , the relative humidity should maintained between 50-80℃.In the storage period, conveyor belt should be placed in rolls, but not folding; in the placement, it should turn-over once in every seasons. Different types and standards layers number of conveyor belt should not be connected together while used, the best connection is used the bonded process. Type, structure, standard, number of layers for conveyor belt should be used according to the reasonable choice.

 

Conveyor belt operating speed generally not more than 2.5 m/s. For large lump size, material with large abrasiveness and fixed unloading device should use low velocity. The relationship between driving pulley diameter and coating layer of conveyor belt, supporting of driving and bend pulley and also requirement for trough angle of idler roller should according to the design specification of conveyor belt, reasonable selection. Direction of feeding should along the operating direction of the conveyor belt, use chute in order to minimize the impact of material fall on receiving belt, reduce material’s free fall distance. The feeding section of conveyor belt should shortened the spacing of idler and use absorb idler as discharge section. The belt should use striker plate with moderately soft, to avoid the rigid striker plate will scrape the belt surface of conveyor belt.
