How to properly select the conveyor belt

The conveyor belt is selected according to the length of the conveyor, the amount of delivery, the tension of the conveyor belt, the material characteristics of the conveyor, the conditions of the material, the working environment and other factors to choose. Conveyor belt in the course of the operation in addition to the longitudinal tensile stress, but also by the drum and roller bending stress. Most of the conveyor belt damage for the work surface and edge wear, by the impact of large, sharp material caused by breakdown, tear and peeling.
The choice of conveyor belt need to consider a variety of factors, mainly: conveyor system on the conveyor belt related requirements; terrain environmental conditions and safety aspects of the rated requirements; transport material type, shape, size, characteristics, with the role of heat and chemical; require the maximum bandwidth, the working tension and the conveying capacity; the minimum diameter of the drum; the groove and the lateral stiffness; the load support; the length of the curve segment and the transition section; the tensioning method and the stroke; the receiving point and the receiving condition, of the operating cycle; impact resistance and tear resistance requirements; joint conditions; and should meet the following requirements:
(1) Short-distance belt conveyor, should use polyester fabric core conveyor belt. Large transport volume, long distance, to enhance the height, tension belt conveyor, should use steel cord conveyor belt.
(2) The material to be conveyed contains large pieces of massive material. And in the material point of the direct drop is greater, should use anti-shock, anti-tear type conveyor.
(3) The maximum number of layers of fabric conveyor belt conveyor layer should not exceed the 6 layer; when the transport of material on the conveyor belt thickness of the special requirements, may be appropriate to increase.
(4) Down-hole belt conveyor must use flame retardant conveyor belt.
According to the usage of occasions, site requirements and material properties such as conveyor belt selection, in the course of the usage, correct operation is an important way to ensure the transmission of tape and equipment life.
