The speed of a belt conveyor line is usually between 0.1 and 10 meters per minute, depending on various factors including material characteristics, conveying distance, conveying volume, etc. When choosing the speed of a belt conveyor line, the following factors need to be considered:Material characteristics: For example, for materials with high dust content or easy rolling, a lower belt speed should be selected to avoid dust lifting or material scattering. For fine or small pieces of material, a higher belt speed is allowed, but generally not exceeding 3.15 meters per second.Conveying distance and length: A longer horizontal belt conveyor line should choose a higher belt speed, while the larger the inclination angle of the belt conveyor line or the shorter the conveying distance, the lower the belt speed should be.Bandwidth: The wider the bandwidth, the higher the upper limit of the belt speed of the conveyor belt. For example, the maximum bandwidth speed for a 500mm bandwidth is 2.5 meters per second, while the maximum bandwidth speed for a 1400mm bandwidth is 4 meters per second.Specific equipment: When using unloading trucks or plow type unloaders, the belt conveyor line has a specific upper limit on belt speed, such as not exceeding 2.5 meters/second or 2.0 meters/second.In addition, the belt line speed can be determined by calculating the circumference and speed of the driving or passive drum. Choosing the appropriate conveying speed can ensure the smooth progress of the production process and improve production efficiency.
What kind of wear-resistant and anti slip belt conveyor is used?
There are two types, which make the tape of the belt conveyor more wear-resistant and slip resistant!1、 Choose black rubber tapeThe rubber belt inner core is mainly divided into four types: 1. Steel wire rope core; 2. Nylon strap (NN strap); 3. Cotton sail fabric belt (CC56); 4. Polyester tape (EP) is more wear-resistant and thicker than green or white tape types. Starting from 10mm2、 Choose herringbone anti slip patterned tapeFeatures: There is a “person” shaped pattern on the surface of the belt that is higher than the body of the belt. The pattern can be open or closed, and each pattern can be divided into three types: high, medium, and low. Suitable for conveying powdered, granular, and small materials with an inclination angle of ≤ 40 degrees, as well as bagged materials. The pattern has slight unevenness, thus playing a role in anti slip.
Which is better, PVC conveyor belt or rubber conveyor belt?
Firstly, let’s understand the characteristics of PVC conveyor belts. As a cost-effective material, PVC conveyor belts are widely popular due to their affordability.

It is worth mentioning that PVC conveyor belts comply with strict hygiene standards and are very suitable for use in the food industry, ensuring that food safety is not threatened. Finally, it has good elasticity, is not easily deformed, and the belt body is thin and wear-resistant, which increases its service life.However, PVC conveyor belts are not without their drawbacks. It is not as good as rubber conveyor belts in terms of high temperature and cold resistance, and is usually suitable for the temperature range of -10 ℃ to+80 ℃. In addition, for extremely heavy loads and heavy materials, the conveying capacity is limited, which requires special attention when selecting.Turning to rubber conveyor belts, we found that their advantages lie in their excellent wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and cold resistance. Rubber conveyor belts can adapt to a wider range of working temperatures, and some types can even operate normally at temperatures ranging from -30 ℃ to+90 ℃ or higher. It has high tensile strength and strong load-bearing capacity, making it very suitable for transporting heavy and large particle materials. Excellent weather resistance and aging resistance mean a longer service life. In addition, the surface friction coefficient of rubber conveyor belts is large, which helps to prevent the sliding of transported materials.However, the cost of rubber conveyor belts is higher and the manufacturing process is more complex. It is relatively heavy, and installation and maintenance may require more manpower and equipment support. For food industry applications that require strict hygiene conditions, unless specifically specified as food grade rubber conveyor belts, they may not be suitable.In summary, the choice between PVC conveyor belt and rubber conveyor belt depends on your specific needs for cost, weight, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, and hygiene standards. Before making a decision, multiple factors such as the work environment, the nature of the materials being transported, expected lifespan, and budget should be fully considered. Whether pursuing economic benefits or durability, the right choice will ensure the efficient and stable operation of your conveying system.

It is easy to achieve automation and centralized control, especially for high-yield and high-efficiency mines. Belt conveyor has become a key equipment for the integration of coal mining electromechanical technology and equipment. The main feature of a belt conveyor is that the body can be easily retracted and equipped with a storage belt compartment. The tail of the conveyor can be extended or shortened with the advancement of the coal mining face. The structure is compact and can be laid directly on the bottom plate of the roadway without a foundation. The frame is lightweight and easy to disassemble. When the conveying capacity and distance are large, an intermediate driving device can be equipped to meet the requirements. According to the requirements of the conveying process, materials can be transported individually or by combining multiple units into a horizontal or inclined conveying system. The high rotation drum car and water lifting overturning car in ancient China were the embryonic form of modern bucket elevators and scraper conveyors; In the mid-17th century, aerial cableways began to be used to transport bulk materials; In the mid-19th century, various modern conveyor structures emerged one after another. In 1868, belt conveyors emerged in England; In 1887, screw conveyors emerged in the United States; In 1905, steel belt conveyors emerged in Switzerland; In 1906, inertial conveyors emerged in England and Germany. Subsequently, the conveyor was influenced by technological advancements in mechanical manufacturing, electric motors, chemical and metallurgical industries, and continuously improved. It gradually evolved from completing internal conveying in workshops to completing material handling within enterprises, between enterprises, and even between cities, becoming an indispensable component of the mechanization and automation of material handling systems.
