Bulk material handling conveyor belt pdf

The above object is achieved according to the present invention by designing the conveyor belt with a built-in profile so that the side parts of the conveyor belt are shaped at an angle to the central part of the conveyor belt.

This central part comprises a longidutinal and transversal reinforcement in its under part and wear resistant material in its upper part facing against the carrying part of the material conveyed. Furthermore, the side parts of the conveyor belt incorporate wear resistant material and longitudinal as well as transversal reinforcement. Naturally, reinforcement in the central part of the belt as well as its side parts can be connected as a unit, for instance, a reinforcing mat throughout the belt.

By arranging the conveyor belt with an original folding of the side parts many advantages are achieved. A considerable increase of the resistance against bending is achieved, which increases the resistance against deflection between the idlers. This entails that the distance between the idlers may be increased, which reduces the friction losses caused by the bearings and seals. By the increased resistance against bending, the movement of the side parts is reduced thus reducing spillage.

At the same time the belt can be loaded more heavily, which results in increased capacity. The maintenance costs are also reduced as the endurance of the belt increases.

By the reduced spillage and reduced flexing of the belt and material the belt speed can be increased, which further makes possible an increased capacity. By arranging the belt in the way described in this application, the belt is self-aligning and it is possible to reduce the radius of curvature laterally as well as vertically.

The invention is described more in details below, referring to the preferred embodiments shown on the drawings. The conveyor 1 comprises a central part 2 and two integrally connected side parts 3 and 4, as shown in FIG. The central part 2 has a width b and the side parts have a width a and c respectively in their plane. The central part 2 has a thickness t 2 and the side parts t 1 and t 3 respectively.

The side parts are angled up an angle alpha in relation to the horizontal and are from the beginning manufactured with those angles. The angling shown in FIG. The angle alpha between respective side part and the horizontal part can vary considerably. In FIG. The track members 7 and 8 are positioned at a distance of d and e, respectively from the side parts edges. The track members 7 and 8 are positioned anywhere along the side parts but are shown in FIG.

The reinforcement of the side parts can consist of other material than in the central part 2 or in the protruding part 9 of the central part 2.

This type of reinforcement can especially be used in very long conveyors with one driving station. The reinforcement of the belt can consist of one or more reinforcement mats or transversal discrete reinforcement as spring steel or cold drawn material with high material strength.

The transversal reinforcement of the belt covers the two side parts and extends partly into the central part in order to increase the resistance for transversal bending between the side parts and the central part in the corners and to give further space for wear resisting material in the central part. The protruding part 9 is shown with broken lines and is left out in this embodiment. Variations of the reinforcement can be made as in FIGS. The conveyor belt is provided with a top layer and a bottom layer, and any now existing natural or synthetic material can be used therefore, or a combination thereof.

For the reinforcement suitable materials are steel, metals and alloys thereof, different polyamides, aramids, glass fibre, synthetic fibre, natural products as cotton, jute etc. Said materials and combinations thereof can be used in all kinds of reinforcement of the side parts and central part of the conveyor belt and can be used for transversal reinforcement as well as longitudinal. Mats of above-mentioned materials can also be used as reinforcement in one or more layers plies.

Titan Industries designs and manufactures a number of custom bulk handling conveyors for numerous material handling applications within several budget ranges. Whether it be sand, powders, fines and products less than 1' in size Titan can design and build a bulk handling system specially for you.

Titan bulk handling systems are versatile, and can be constructed of stainless steel with food grade belts for easy wash down. Models and - These two cost-competitive Titan models are ideal choices for light and medium duty. Both are designed to contain material in the center of the conveyor belt.

Stackers are intended for depositing bulkmaterials into stockpiles or blending beds in circular or longitudinal stocks. Most usual are mobile stackers with raising and lowering booms. Important methods of stockpiling are the large-row deposit as Chevron type and the small-row deposit as Windrow type. In such a case removal is done by side and portal scrapers at the side of the stockpile as well as with bridge-type scrapers and bucket wheel reclaimers at the front of the stockpile or blending bed.
