Sidewall belt conveyor is continuous transporting equipment of loose bulk materials such as coke, coal, limestone, sand and gravel.Gravel is the loose bulk materials,which is composed of unconsolidated rock fragments that have a general particle size range and include size classes from granule- to boulder-sized fragments. Gravel is categorized by the Udden-Went worth scale into granular gravel (2 to 4 mm or 0.079 to 0.157 in) and pebble gravel (4 to 64 mm or 0.2 to 2.5 in). One cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 3000 pounds.
Gravel is an important commercial product, with a number of applications. Many roadways are surfaced with gravel, especially in rural areas where there is little traffic. Globally, far more roads are surfaced with gravel than with concrete or tarmac; Russia alone has over 400,000 km (250,000 mi) of gravel roads. Both sand and small gravel are also important for the manufacture of concrete.When convey the material like gravel,it may use the belt conveyor.
How the belt conveyor can transport the gravel?Here PK Machinery would like to introduce the advantages and features of sidewall belt conveyor as follows.
Features
1.Long service life
2.Reduced maintenance
3.Low power consumption
4.Reduced number of transfer points
5.Quick installation and quiet running
Advantages
1.Flexible transportation – can convey all kinds of bulk materials such as coal, ore, sand, fertilizer and grain in horizontal, oblique, vertical or other angle directions.
2.High tensile strength
3.Increases belt capacity
4.No spillage with steep angle conveying
5.Decrease necessary conveyor footprint
6.No transfer points- the belt are capable of turning at any angle right from feed hopper to discharge point
7.Maximum utilization of space – able to convey material at angles up to 90 degree
8.Decrease maintenance costs with fewer drive units and components
9.Long lifespan
10.Low power requirement – requiring low power to move loaded belts
11.Quiet smooth running – as belt runs on rotating idlers, low resistance is achieved that in turn ensures quieter operations
It adopts high quality conveyor belt with corrugated sidewall and horizontal baffle. Sidewall belts are used to convey material up inclines. The sidewall increases the carrying capacity of the belt and prevents product from falling off the edges of the belt. Hot vulcanization provides a 5x greater adhesion between the belt and sidewall, eliminating the need for bolting the sidewall to the base belt. Greater adhesion also prevents the sidewall from lifting and separating from the base belt, extending the belt life.
