The Role Of Sand Conveyor Belt in Sand Making Plant
In a sand making plant, the conveyor belt is an important link between the various equipment in the sand making production line. It is responsible for conveying raw materials or crushed and screened materials from one equipment to another. It is mainly used to transfer sand and gravel raw materials from one processing link to the next link to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the production process. The following are several main functions of sand conveyor belts in sand making plants:
Connection and conveying function
During the sand making process, the raw materials are first fed into the jaw crusher by a vibrating feeder for coarse crushing, and then the coarsely crushed materials are fed into the secondary crushing equipment by a sand belt conveyor for medium crushing, and then the finished sand is transported to the designated location by a sand conveyor belt after screening, sand making, and re-screening. Therefore, the conveyor belt ensures the continuity and automation of the sand making production line.
daptability and flexibility
The sand conveyor belt has the characteristics of a simple structure, low operating cost and strong adaptability. In the sand making plant, due to the different types, particle sizes and production requirements of raw materials, the belt conveyor can adjust the bandwidth, conveying length, angle and usage according to actual needs to meet different production process requirements. In addition, the sand conveyor belt can also be used in conjunction with other equipment such as crushers, bucket elevator, sand screening machines, sand washers, etc. to form a complete sand production line.
Ensure production efficiency and safety
The normal operation of the sand conveyor belt has a direct impact on the production efficiency of the entire sand production line. Before starting the machine, it is necessary to check the belt’s surface to ensure that no obstacles damage the belt conveyor. At the same time, during the operation of the equipment, it is necessary to frequently check the operation of components such as motors, reducers, head and tail wheels, as well as the tension and wear of the belts to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition. In addition, the belt conveyor is also equipped with a variety of safety protection devices, such as deviation switches, speed switches, pull rope switches, etc., to ensure safety during the production process.
Optimize production processes and costs
The application of sand and gravel conveyor belts in sand making plants can also help optimize production processes and reduce production costs. For example, by reasonably arranging the location and number of belt conveyors, the loss and waste of materials during the transportation process can be reduced; at the same time, the belt conveyor has a high degree of automation, which can reduce the cost and time of manual operation. In addition, the belt conveyor can also be linked with other equipment to achieve linkage control to improve the automation level and production efficiency of the entire production line.
Common types of sand and gravel conveyor belts in sand making plants
When choosing a sand and gravel conveyor belt, the sand making plant needs to make comprehensive considerations based on specific conveying scenarios, material characteristics, safety requirements, and cost budgets. Common types are as follows:
| Type | Characteristic | Application Environment |
|---|---|---|
| Rubber Conveyor Belt | High-temperature working environment | General sand and gravel production line, dry environment |
| Wire Rope Conveyor Belt | Widely used in gravel yards, mines ,and other environments, and can effectively cope with the challenges brought by rough materials. | Especially suitable for long-distance and large-angle conveyor lines, such as large sand and gravel processing plants and large-scale material transportation. |
| Polyester (EP) Conveyor Belt | Low elongation, impact resistance, good heat resistance, suitable for open-air transportation. | Widely used in gravel yards, mines and other environments, and can effectively cope with the challenges brought by rough materials. |
| PVC Conveyor Belt | Good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and anti-slip performance | Good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and anti-slip performance |
Conclusion
In summary, the sand conveyor belt has multiple functions in the sand making plant, such as connection and conveying function, adaptability, flexibility, etc. It is one of the indispensable and important equipment in the sand making production line. When selecting and customizing the sand and gravel conveyor belt, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the actual application scenario, required functions, material characteristics, production efficiency, and other aspects to ensure that the equipment can meet the production needs, while ensuring production safety, and optimizing the production process and reducing costs.
