Equal Load on Belt Conveyor?

Posted in: , on 7. Apr. 2011 - 15:09

How can we have an equal load on belt conveyor?



WE HAVE A BELT CONVEYOR WHICH IT CARRIES COPPER CONCENTRATE.

COPEER CONCENTRATECHARGE ON THIS CONVEYOR FROM 3 DIFFERENT POINTS.

FIRST FROM ANOTHER BELT CONVEYOR WHICH CHARGES FROM 2 FILTER PRESSES(THIESE LOADS ARE CHARCGING ON CONVEYOR immediately AND NOT EQUAL AND continuos )

SECOND AND THIRD POINTSCOME FROM CONCENTRATE DRIERS(THESES LOADS ARE SOME TIMES LUMPY).

THE WEIGHT OF TOTAL LOADS ON THE FIRST BELT CONVEYOR SHALL BE MEASURED BY A BELT SCALE EXACTLY.

IT IS NEEDED FOR OUR PRODUCT statistics.

BUT BECAUSE OF THESE NON EQUAL LOAD WE HAVE ALWAYS BIG DIFFERENCES.

HOW CAN WE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

Don't completely understand the question, though can you add a / weighers?

Put the later two into surge hoppers and then regulate the feed onto your belt via two added weigh scales in close loops with each feeder ( belt, vibratory, ...)

Bombs Away

Yours is a familair problem which firstly involves tweaking the filter control panel(s).

There 4 loading points. You need to regulate the filter cycles so that the bomb doors open correctly sequentially. This is not difficult if you have a surge tank with agitator to maintain a, say, grade 6 pulp.

The previous recommedation for surge hoppers is spot on, and even more so if you use vibratory feeders. I've had kiln dried concentrate with lumps the size of cement bags on conveyors in Zambia. Warm steamy and sticky, like elephant droppings. What is your cleaning regime?

Straight Idlers To Handle Load Of Conveyor Belt.

To handle unit load, nominal bulk load of conveyor belt straight idlers can be helpful which positioned between brackets attached to the conveyor frame. We can also use another type of carrying idlers at the loading point where the lump size and the weight of the material may seriously damage the belt.
