Cement Belt Conveyor

A cement belt conveyor is an important transportation device for cement plants and cement grinding plants. During cement production, raw materials such as coal and limestone, clinker, and finished cement all need a belt moving continuously to convey materials from one location to another. 

Cement belt conveyors have strong conveying capacity, long-distance workability, and easy maintenance with a simple structure. A belt conveyor is mainly composed of a frame, conveyor belt, idler, roller, tensioning device, transmission device, etc. It is convenient to realize programming control and automatic operation. Its operation is high-speed, stable, low noise, and can be transmitted up and down the slope.

When operating, the conveyor belt is under heavy load and harsh abrasion. Sometimes materials will stick to idlers and bring damage to the belt and may stop the idlers rolling. Also, it is inevitable to encounter a high-temperature environment and materials such as clinker.

SINOMA Zibo understands the demanding situation in cement production and searches for solutions to make sure the belt conveyor system runs smoothly. The rubber material can stand with a heavy load and is not easy to break. The transmission system can effectively reduce unexpected stuck and interruption.

Advantages of cement conveyor belt

Tailor-made design

The cement conveyor belts are custom-designed and manufactured based on different geography, working conditions, etc. to meet the specific requirements.

Strong material adaptability

It can be used to transport various bulk materials and finished cement with a loose density of 500-2500kg/m³.

Strong temperature adaptability

The recommended operation temperature for cement conveyor belts is -25℃to40℃. Corresponding protection measures should be carried out if there are special requirements for heat resistance, cold resistance, waterproofing, corrosion resistance, and antiflaming.

Multiple types of conveyors

Customers can choose from the tubular conveyor, high angle conveyor, movable conveyor, suspension conveyor, accordion conveyor, long-distance curved conveyor, and fixed belt conveyor.

Structure feature of the cement belt conveyor

Belt conveyor frame optimization: The entire machine uses finite element analysis, the overall force design is reasonable, the load requirements are met under complex stress conditions, and the use is more reliable. The main beam of the frame is made of C-type steel, the upper and lower two layers of support beams are equipped with side protection plates, the frame section size is large, and the overall strength is high.

Transmission optimization: The transmission drum of the head frame is driven by a motor cycloidal reducer, which provides stable and dependable operation and ease of maintenance. The tail frame, on the other hand, uses a small reversing drum, an optimized tensioning device, and a receiving device. Its compact structure, small installation size, and easy installation and receiving are all features of this setup.

Working principle of cement belt conveyor

The two end rollers and a closed conveyor belt that is securely covered on them make up the majority of the belt conveyor. The driving drum, also known as the transmission drum, is what propels the conveyor belt in its rotation. The reversing drum is a different type of drum that alone reverses the conveyor belt’s direction. The motor powers the driving drum via the reducer, and the friction between the driving drum and the conveyor belt drags the belt along. Usually placed at the discharge end, the driving roller improves traction and makes dragging easier. The feeding end feeds the material, which then falls onto the revolving conveyor belt and is propelled to the unloading end by the friction of the belt.

Cautions when using cement conveyor belt

Regular inspection: The various parts of the conveyor, such as the motor, roller, cleaning device, etc., need to be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its normal operation.

Dust prevention measures: Cement powder and other fine powder materials make it easy to produce dust during transportation, and corresponding dust prevention measures need to be taken.

The selection of the conveyor belt: According to the nature of the conveying material choose the appropriate conveyor belt material to improve the conveying efficiency and extend the service life.
