Good Morning.....!!! Today we are back with   Basic factors effecting Chain/ Belt Lifetime. In the design stage it is helpful to consider some of the basic factors that have an effect on belt/chain lifetime and know how they can be used to increase the overall lifetime of the belt or chain. The chart below gives a general indication of some of the more important parameters and their general effect on overall belt life. Shorter Lifetime                                                                                                                                                                        1. Less Lubrication                                                            2. Smaller Pin Diameter                                                    3. Smaller Sprocket Diameter                                          4. Less wearstrip support                                                5.Higher speed                                                                6.

V - belts problems & solutions

Good Evening Everyone....!!! Today we shall discuss some general problems of  V- belts & their solutions. Common v-belt drive problems can be diagnosed rather quickly and generally fall into one of the following categories. • Improper installation / tension • Improper maintenance • Drive contaminants /drive environment • Inferior drive selection/design Improper Installation / Tension The most common v-belt drive problems relating to installation are improper drive alignment and insufficient tension. Problems related to insufficient tension will  include: • Rapid sidewall wear on belt (often even wear on both sides) • Belt turns or jumps off of the sheave • Belt slips and squeals • Belt appears glazed and hardened due to spin burn. Problems related to alignment will include: • Rapid sidewall wear on belt (often uneven wear on one side) • Vibration • Uneven wear on sheave groove walls Common Reasons for Drives Being Undertensioned Belts were installed w

Replacement of Conveyor Parts

Good Evening Everyone....!!! Today we shall discuss some common site observations, if you found condition like these you can approach your client to replace that system or part. Replacement of Conveyor Parts: Chain and belt should be replaced when: 1. The chain has been extended so much that it does not fit the drive sprocket. 2. The chain is worn below half the plate thickness. 3. The chain surface is worn unevenly. 4. The bottom parts of the chain is worn so much that the pins are laid bare. The pins can thendamage the wearstrips and other conveyor parts. 5. Tab or belt edge is worn on sideflexing belts. Sprockets should be replaced when: 1. The tooth profiles are worn 2. The chain jumps the sprocket Wearstrips should be replaced when: 1. They are worn 50% 2. The surface finish has become rough 3. Hard particles have become embedded into the wearstrip material Special care must be taken to inspect curved wearstrip sections for wear, since excessive wear

Terms and Definitions

Good Evening Everyone....!!! Today we shall discuss some most popular ''Terms & Definitions '' used in conveyor system. Terms and Definitions Bearing block – The block or housing that contains or supports a bearing. Bed Section – The conveyor frame that supports the conveyor’s belt, drive, end units,carrying surface/rollers, etc. Belt Cover – A rubber or PVC coating applied to a conveyor belt to protect the belt carcass and/or provide special carrying capacities for the belt. Belt Sag – Lack of tension or tautness in the conveyor belt that causes it to droop in areas between supporting members. Belt Tension – The results of force applied to the conveyor that causes or trends to cause stress or stretching of the belt. All belts must be tensioned to some extent to provide proper driving force and tracking. Belt Tracking – The path followed by the belt as it runs on the conveyor and around the conveyor pulleys. Belt Wrap – The amount of con
Good Evening Everyone....!!! Today we are here with a new FAQ.. PVC   Vs  TPU  Belts PVC Belts: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) conveyor belts are standard belts in the food industry that can be used for basic applications across food processing and handling. PVC has grown to become the third most widely produced plastic, known for its durability and ease of use. A PVC-coated conveyor belt is best suitable for materials handling, bakery production applications, and meat, fish, and dairy processing. These antistatic belts provide good chemical resistance and are resistant to hot water and steam, as well. Based on specific needs and conveyor belt manufacturers, there are also flame-retardant models available. With limited abrasion resistance and limited resistance to solvents, oil, and grease, PVC belts are best suited for processing of fruits and vegetables and simpler operations with limited special requirements. For those unaware of specifications for their food processi

FAQ

Good Evening Everyone...!!! In this series we shall discuss some FAQ's, which are very general. So let's start the series. When should I use a PVC belt and when should I use a Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) or a Polyolefine (TPO) belt? PVC, TPU or TPO? As a rule of thumb, for low-end applications without special demands PVC-coated belts normally will do the job. On the other hand, more demanding or specific applications can require appropriate product features. As a general recommendation the following can be kept in mind:   PVC (Polyvinylchloride) Suitable for most low-end applications Reasonable price Resistant to most chemicals (except solvents, oil) Superior abrasion resistance   TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) Superior strength for mechanically demanding applications Good abrasion resistance Good temperature resistance for a wide range of applications   TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) Excellent release and antisticking proper

Good Evening Everyone...!!! Today I shall share some formula's regarding conveyor system. I hope this will help you a lot. FPM stands for foot per minute. Multiply the value by 18.288, you''ll get the answer in MPH. To Be continued....
Good Evening Everyone....!!! Today we shall know about Movex Range. Let's start... There are two type of  flat top chains: Table Top Chains Mat Top Chains While the basic function of  Table Top & Mat Top chains are same but there are several differences. Table Top is similar to door hinge with wings attached, while Mat Top can be almost any width and is held together with a full width pin. Table Top chains are molded in standard widths from 3.25 -12 inches & are typically  shipped in ten- foot sections. Mat Top chains genearlly known as plastic modular chain are usually assembled to width via ''bricked'' construction upto  20 feet wide. Some styles of Mat Top chains are also available as molded to width(abbreviated as MTW) in standard widths similar to Table Top chains widths.Some of those are also available with Positrack tabs for side-tracking, like TableTop chains. Both narrow TableTop Chains and MTW MatTop Chains are can be used for s

Good Evening Everyone.....!!! Today we shall continue Instruction for use & Operational instructions of  ''Battery Pasting Belts''. Instruction For Use: The correct length of the battery pasting belt is the inside circumference. To determine it run a Tape measure around the pulleys and add 1/4”. The belt must fit tight without stretching it too hard. We are able to furnish any length needed. Belts can shrink when stored for long periods. Store belts in a cool and dry place. See direction arrows on belt and install accordingly. Operating Instructions For The Care Of Needled Pasting Belts: 1. Before installing a new belt, thoroughly clean all rolls and surfaces on the machine that Come in contact with the belt to remove hardened paste built up, especially on the drive Roll and squeeze roll. 2. Install belt on machine manufactures instructions. These instructions are very important.  3. After belt installation, tighten the take up roller
Good Evening & Wish you a very Happy New Year....!!!  Let keep continue our last blog on Battery Pasting Belts.  Maintenance and use of pasting belt: The belt after receiving should be kept in the low humidity and dry temperature environment & put to use within three to four months. At the time of replacing the belt, please check clearly the dirty matter between the paste plate and Squeeze Roll (including cleaning the hard lead plaster at the roller edge), coated plate belt inching operation after installation, adjust the tension system properly after confirming trajectories, After installation of the coated belt, water gun is used to spray water on the surface of the belt. After running a few laps, the belt will be soaked and put down for operation. Good maintenance habits extend the service life of the coated strip, reducing the use cost and increasing the productivity. Items Weight (gm/m²) Thickness (mm) Breaking Strength (N/ mm)
