Detailed explanation of the classification and maintenance methods of light conveyor belts

Light conveyor belts are classified in many ways according to their materials and uses. Common ones include PVC conveyor belts, rubber and plastic conveyor belts, and PU conveyor belts. PVC conveyor belts have various thicknesses, colors, and joint forms, and are widely used in production lines such as food, medicine, electronics, tobacco, printing, packaging, and textiles. Rubber and plastic conveyor belts and PU food conveyor belts have different patterns on the surface, which are suitable for the ascending transmission of bulk materials and powders. Special patterned belts are anti-slip, suitable for special occasions, special material processing and transmission. At the same time, after special processing, they can also be made into guide belts, lifting belts, skirt belts, etc.

Common materials for light conveyor belts include PVC, PU, ​​silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc. These materials are usually non-toxic, odorless, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant, which can meet the needs of light conveyor belts in various working environments. Among them, PVC and PU are the most common materials for light conveyor belts. Light conveyor belts made of PVC have good oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and hydrolysis resistance, and are suitable for transportation in food, medicine, electronics, tobacco and other industries. Lightweight conveyor belts made of PU have good wear resistance and temperature resistance, and are suitable for conveying in printing, packaging, textile and other industries. Lightweight conveyor belts made of silicone are mainly used in high temperature and high humidity environments, such as ovens and ovens. Lightweight conveyor belts made of polytetrafluoroethylene have excellent high temperature resistance and can be used for material transportation in high temperature environments.

In general, the choice of lightweight conveyor belt material needs to be determined according to actual needs and working environment to ensure the performance and safety of the conveyor belt.

For the maintenance of lightweight conveyor belts, it is mainly carried out from the following two aspects:

Maintenance: Regularly check the fastening of each component, and tighten it in time if it is loose; use a listening stick to listen to the sound of the transmission chain regularly during the operation of the chain. If the sound is abnormal, stop and check immediately; lubricate and maintain according to the equipment maintenance plan.
Use and maintenance: Before starting, check whether all parts of the equipment are normal; pay attention to whether there are people or debris on the conveyor belt; regularly clean up dust and debris on the conveyor, especially on rollers and drums; check whether there are abnormalities in the motor and reducer; frequently check the lubrication of the chain, and add lubricating oil immediately if necessary.
