Good Evening Everyone....!!! Today we learn "How to Calculate Conveyor Belt Speed" Measure the circumference of the rollers in the conveyor , calculate revolutions per minute and then multiply these two figures together to determine conveyor belt speed. The speed at which the conveyor belt moves depends on the size of the rollers and their revolutions per minute. Measure the diameter of the rollers around which the conveyor belt is wrapped. Multiply the diameter of the roller by 3.14159. This calculation yields the circumference of the rollers. Every time the roller spins one revolution, the conveyor is moved a linear distance equivalent to the circumference of the roller. Measure the revolutions per minute of the rollers. Count how many full rotations are made by the roller in one minute. Multiply the RPM by the circumference of the roller. This calculation provides the linear distance traversed by a point on the conveyor belt in one minute. Calculate the dist...

Good Evening Everyone...!!! Today we are going to continue our earlier topic ''Conveyor Terms''. Let's start it with Conveyor Belts. Conveyor Belt:- Conveyor belt is a continuous moving band that moves the product, supported by frames & rotated by driven pulley. Crowned Pulley:- Crowned pulley is larger at centre than at the ends in order to help maintain belt tracking. A conveyor belt will always run toward the longest part of the conveyor, so by making the pulley slightly larger in the center, it ensures that the belt will tend to run in the center of the conveyor. Drive Mounting Package:- A drive mounting package is the connection between the drive pulley and the gearmotor. They typically allow the gearmotor to be mounted either to the side of the conveyor or below or above the conveyor. Feet Per Minute/ Meter Per Second:- Feet Per Minute (FPM) is a standard measure of conveyor speed. It measures the number of feet the belt moves in one min...

Hello Everyone....!!! Today we are going to discuss '' Common Conveyor Belt Problems'' which is faced by most of the industries. 1. Mistracking:-  Conveyor belt tracking, the process of aligning and managing a belt to maintain a specific path, is critical to creating the desired output of your system. When the belt drifts from one side to the other, also known as mis-tracking, you’re susceptible to unforeseen downtime, belt damage, product damage, and maintenance troubleshooting issues.  Uneven belt wear, and even an entire system malfunction, can occur when a belt runs off its normal track. 2. Belt Slippage:- When it comes to conveyor belts, too little or too much tension can cause a direct impact to the performance of your operations. If your head pulley wears down, there is no longer an adequate amount of traction to grip the belt causing excessive stretching, audible squeals, and conveyance slippage to occur. Time-consuming maintenance is often neede...

This eliminates the causes of  wear & noise. 2. No need of lu...

Good Evening Everyone, Hopefully all of you are doing well...... So today we are going to learn about ''Timing Belts''. So let's start timing belt from the beginning . Beginning of the Timing Belt: The first known timing belt was used in 1945. In 1962 Glas1004 was the first mass produced vehicle to use an overhead camshaft engine with a timing belt.  Fiat's 124 twin cam engine developed in early 1960s was thee first mass production engine to have belt driven twin camshaft. In 1966, Vauxhall Motors started production of the Slant Four single overhead cam four-cylinder design which used a timing belt, a configuration which became one of the most common. Nowadays there is a wide scope of Timing Belts instead of automobile industry. Application Area of Timing Belts at present: 1. Pumps 2. Printing 3. Energy 4. Industrial Installation 5. Medical 6. Conveyor System 7. Fitness 8. Small Tools 9. Small Electrical Equipment 10...

Hello Everyone, Today we have come here with ''Conveyor Terms'' topic on the demand of interest. CONVEYOR TERMS: Angle of Incline –  The degree a conveyor is tilted from horizontal. Drive Pulley –  Pulley connected to a power source used to drive conveyor.  Usually the drive pulley is the head pulley, but on some kinds of systems, including many package handling conveyors, the drive pulley is located underneath the conveyor. Gravity Take-up –  Device used to remove slack and stretch in a conveyor belt.  A free weight is suspended from a pulley on the return side of the belt.  The take-up is free to lower as needed to remove any slack as the belt operated.  The gravity take-up is usually located as close to the drive pulley as possible. Head Pulley –  Pulley at discharge end of belt.  The head pulley is usually powered by conveyor drive source.  Pulley “pulls” belt along the conveyor. Return Idler –  Idlers used to s...

Hello friends , we are back with the "design and selecting a proper conveyor belt "topic  :  Regarding Belt width : With the optimum belt speed, the determination of the belt width is largely a function of the quantity of conveyed material which is indicated by the design of conveyed belt. In practice the choice and design of a troughing set is that which meets the required loaded volume, using a belt of minimum width and therefore the most economic. Belt Widths  The belt widths are as follows: 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 72, 84, and 96 inches.  The width of the narrower belts may be governed by the size of lumps to be handled. Belts must be wide enough so that any combination of prevailing lumps and finer material does not load the lumps too close to the edge of the conveyor belt.    Calculation of Belt width:   the conveyor capacity may be expressed as loaded volume IVT [m3/h] per v= 1 m/sec. The inclination of the side rollers of a transom (...

Design and Selecting the proper conveyor Belt : During  the project design stage for the transport of raw materials or finished products, the choice of the method must favour the most cost effective solution for the volume of material moved; the plant and its maintenance; its flexibility for adaptation and its ability to carry a variety of loads and even be overloaded at times. THE PARAMETERS FOR DESIGN OF BELT CONVEYOR: •        Belt speed •        Belt width •        Absorbed power •        Gear box selection •        Drive pulley shaft For designing a conveyor belt, some basic information e.g. the material to be conveyed, its lump size, tonnage per hour, distance over which it is to be carried, incline if any, temperature and other environmental conditions is needed. DESIGN OF...

Hello everyone, Today I am happy to share few conveyor design basic lines on AGETECHNICAL Blog: Any belt conveyor design for handling of bulk materials mainly concerns with the calculation of capacity, belt width, belt speed, drive power and belt tensions.

Hello everyone, We are here to publish some technical thoughts to all concerns whom are directly or indirectly related to us. we are conveyor belt manufacturer and fabricator hence our world will revolve around conveyors which are virtually used every conceivable industry across the globe to convey products. Many times conveyor users face wrinkles / folds issue in belt after running within few months, sometimes they get confused whether it is belt quality issue or mechanical problem in system. this is for clarification to all that such kind of issues occur due to mechanical reasons only. 1) Wrinkles / Folds occur due to misalignment of belt. System manufacturers need to give alignment adjustment options. so that belt could run in centre and to avoid belt corners stuck one side on roller that results in wrinkles/ folds etc. One good design conveyor with alignment option is worthy to share: all are free to create their own imaginations. 2) One another option is that one c...
