Working Principle

One roller that drives the electric conveyor belt to rotate is called the drive roller (transmission roller); the other roller that changes only the direction of movement of the belt conveyor is called the reversing roller. As the motor drives the driving roller through the reducer, the conveyor belt is pulled along by friction between the driving roller and the conveyor belt. The drive drum is generally installed at the discharge end to increase the traction force and facilitate dragging. Materials are fed from the feeding end, fall onto the rotating conveyor belt, and are transported to the unloading end to be discharged by friction.

Features

A belt conveyor has many advantages over other transportation equipment (such as locomotives), such as long conveying distances, large capacities, continuous conveying, and its operation is reliable, and it is easy to automate and centralize. Coal mining mechatronics technology and equipment rely heavily on this machine. With a belt storage bin, the fuselage can be easily extended and retracted, and the tail can be extended or shortened based on the advancement of the coal mining face. The frame is light and easily disassembled. An intermediate drive device can be used when the conveying capacity and transportation distance are large. It can be conveyed by just one machine, or it can be obtained by multiple machines in one horizontal conveying system or an inclined conveying system, depending on the requirements of the conveying process.
