What Is Belt Conveyor

 

 

Belt conveyors are mechanical equipment that utilizes continuously running conveyor belts for material transportation. It is mainly composed of driving device, conveyor belt, roller, tensioning device, redirection device and frame. The driving device drives the conveyor belt to move, and the materials are placed on the conveyor belt and transported to the designated location as the conveyor belt moves.

 

Components of a Belt Conveyor

 

A belt conveyor system has a head pulley, tail pulley, idler rollers, belt, and frame.
 

Head pulley
The head pulley is coupled with the actuator and the electric motor. It drives the conveyor, acting as the pulling force. The head pulley is located at the point that the conveyor offloads, known as the discharge end of a belt conveyor. Since it drives the whole system, it is often necessary to increase the traction of its belt with a rough jacket covering its outer surface. The jacket is referred to as a legging.
The head pulley usually has the largest diameter of all the pulleys. Sometimes a system can have multiple pulleys that act as drive pulleys. The pulley at the discharge end, is a drive roller usually with the biggest diameter, and will be identified as the head pulley.
 

Return or tail pulley
This is located at the loading end of the belt conveyor. Sometimes it comes with a wing shape to clean the belt by letting material fall aside to the support members.
In a simple belt conveyor setup, the tail pulley will be mounted on guides usually slotted to allow the belt's tension. In other belt conveying systems, tensioning of the belt is left to another roller called the take-up roller.
 

Idler roller
These are rollers employed along the length of the belt to support the belt and load, prevent sagging, align the belt, and clean up the carryback (material left sticking on to the belt).
Idler rollers can either do all of the above or any one of them, but in any space, they will always act as support for the belt.
 

Troughing idlers
Troughing idlers will have three idler rollers set up in a configuration that makes a "trough" of the belt. They are located on the side that carries the load on the belt conveyor. The idler in the center is fixed, with the two on the ends able to be adjusted. This is so the angle and depth of the trough can be varied.
These idlers, when employed, will reduce spillages and maintain a constant cross-sectional area along the length of the belt conveyor. Maintaining a constant cross-sectional area is important for stability.
 

Rubber disk idler
This idler has rubber disks placed at set distances along the axis of the roller. On the extreme ends, the rollers are much closer so that they can support the belt edge, which is prone to tear. The spaced-out disks will break off any connected carryback/ leftover material and reduce material building up on the bottom of the belt. This is a common cause for mistracking (when the belt shifts to one side of the system and causes misalignment).
 

Screw idler roller
Sometimes the disks are helical like a screw and the idler will be called a rubber screw idler roller. The function will remain the same. An example of a screw idler roller is depicted below.
The screw idler can also be made out of rubber helix. Screw idlers are most common where a scrapper that takes off carryback would not be feasible, especially on mobile belt conveyors.
 

Trainer idler
Trainer idlers keep the belt running straight. It works against mistracking. It achieves this by a central pivot that swerves the roller back to the center should the belt drift off to one side. It also incorporates two guide rollers to act as guides for the belt.
 

Conveyor belt
In setting up a belt conveyor, the belt is perhaps the most intricate.The tension and strength are important since the belt takes a lot of punishment when loading and ferrying the material.
 

Conveyor frame
The frame, depending on the loading, height of operation, and distance to be covered will vary. They can come in a simple setup that can be represented by a cantilever. They can also be trusses in the case of larger loads. Extrusions of aluminum are also employed for simple and lightweight operations.

 

Types of Belt Conveyor
 

Modular Belt Conveyor
Modular belt conveyor is a versatile system powered by sprockets, comprising single or multiple belts. These belts maintain a straight trajectory, offering adaptability in length and width to cater to diverse industry requirements.

 

Telescopic Belt Conveyor
Telescopic belt conveyors facilitate secure and efficient loading and unloading with extendable lengths. Widely employed in logistics, ports, stations, airports, and warehouses, they serve industries spanning post, home appliances, food, tobacco, and light manufacturing.

 

Straight Belt Conveyor
Comprising a flat PVC/PVK belt, the straight belt conveyor acts as a pivotal transition component in the conveying process. It accommodates a wide array of bulk cargo and single-piece objects like cartons and packaging bags, especially those with lower weights.

 

Curve Belt Conveyor
Constructed from flat PVC/PU/PVK material, the curve belt conveyor assumes a critical role in facilitating turns within the conveying line. Capable of executing turns at angles of 45°, 90°, 180°, or customizable degrees, it finds extensive application in food, tobacco, medicine, printing, express, and logistics industries.

Belt Conveyor Applications

Conveyor systems are at work across many industries, including air travel, mining, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food processing and more.


At an airport, belt conveyor is the best way to process, sort, load and unload passenger luggage efficiently. The baggage carousel is a practical use of industrial belt conveyors that most people encounter in life — luggage is loaded onto the belt in a secure area and then swiftly delivered to the terminal where the passengers have access. The belt continuously passes through the loading area and circulates back around to the baggage reclaim area for efficient delivery.


For the pharmaceutical industry, belt conveyor systems transport cardboard boxes or palates full of medical supplies before and after packaging and distribution. In manufacturing and mining, enormous amounts of material are transported through tunnels, along roads and up steep slopes on belt conveyors. Durable belting material and good use of support rollers are necessary for belt conveyor systems in these industries.


For food processing, products go through their life cycle on a belt conveyor. Items can be spread, stamped, rolled, glazed, fried, sliced and powdered — all while rolling on the belt. Think of the hours of manpower that would otherwise be spent bringing each food item through every part of that process. With belt conveyors, goods move from start to finish in mass quantities while still retaining a uniform high quality.


Each industry has its own specifications and requirements for the type of belt conveyor they use. From shipyards and power plants to bakeries and ice cream plants, the belt conveyor is the go-to utility because of its simplicity and reliability.

 

7 Steps for Effective Belt Conveyor Maintenance

 

 

Enhancing the self-inspection process regularly and preparing for unforeseen repairs are essential for maximizing productivity and ensuring the reliability of belt conveyors. Here are seven steps to streamline conveyor maintenance and minimize the need for new belt installations:
 

Understand specific requirements
Facility managers must discern the unique maintenance needs of their establishments before tailoring maintenance programs and inspection protocols. The preventative maintenance regimen for a food processing plant belt conveyor differs from that of a glass manufacturing plant.
 

Develop a plan
A well-structured maintenance plan should outline procedures for equipment inspection, identification of preventative maintenance requirements, and a clear set of actions to address maintenance issues as they arise.
 

Implement sanitation
Utilize approved wash-down cleaning chemicals for wet cleaning scenarios, while exploring the benefits of dry steam solutions for sanitizing surfaces in dry-clean-only environments.
 

Monitor damage
Train technicians to meticulously inspect conveyor belts for signs of damage such as strings, frays, loose pieces, or general wear and tear on belts and components. These indicators signal the need for prompt repair or replacement.
 

Ensure tracking
Verify that technicians install belts with the correct tension and maintain a debris-free environment around the belt conveyor. Promptly address any tracking or alignment issues to prevent further damage.
 

Maintain inventory
Minimize downtime by stocking essential spare parts like sprockets, drives, cleats, motors, and other critical components that are challenging to replace quickly.
 

Track lifespan
Monitoring the lifespan of conveyor belts enables building operations and facility managers to devise a strategic replacement schedule. Belts in a vegetable processing plant might necessitate daily replacement, while those in a distribution centre could last up to five years.

 

 
What Are Some Tips When Working at the Belt Conveyor
 

Position yourself so that you are not hit by objects moving down the conveyor.

 

Ensure that you can see the conveyor system when you are at the operating controls.

 

Ensure that guards are in place for all moving parts of the drive system and in all zones where hazards such as in-running nip, drawing-in, trapping and crushing, friction burns or abrasion are present (includes above, sides, and below the conveyor).

 

Guard all pinch points between the conveyor system and fixed objects.

 

Locate guardrails around low level conveyors and areas where conveyors pass through the floor/ceiling.

 

Locate emergency stop cut-off switches near the operator and along the length of the conveyor at approximately 30 metres (100 feet) apart (or closer).
