The working principle of the iron remover on the conveyor belt mainly includes the following steps:
- Magnetic field effect: Placing magnetic materials, such as permanent magnets or electromagnets, on the conveyor belt will generate a magnetic field. When the material moves under the attraction of these magnetic substances, it will adsorb impurities carrying iron.
- Iron absorption process: When the transported material passes under the excitation coil with direct current, the magnetic poles with strong magnetism will suck up the ferromagnetic substances mixed in the material, thereby achieving the goal of iron removal.
- Mechanical action: The iron remover usually controls the movement of the belt through the rotation of the motor. When the motor rotates to the tail of the iron remover, the magnetic force weakens, causing iron impurities to be sucked into the waste iron box, thus completing the iron removal operation. At the same time, the iron absorption capacity of the iron remover also helps to prevent longitudinal scratches on the conveyor belt and protect subsequent process equipment from damage.
- Gravity sorting: When materials leave the magnetic field range, due to the gravity of ferromagnetic debris, they will fall into the iron collection box under the action of gravity.
- Maintenance function: The design of the iron remover also includes reducing damage to the conveyor, such as setting protective lower support plates and guide edges, so that ferromagnetic debris can only be adsorbed and not damaged by the conveyor belt itself.
In summary, the iron remover of the conveyor belt utilizes magnetic attraction combined with mechanical action to effectively separate iron impurities, and ensures that ferromagnetic impurities ultimately fall into the designated collection area through gravity sorting.
