Do You Know How to Choose the Skirt Conveyor Belt?
2025-07-23 11:34Skirt conveyor belt is a special kind of continuous bulk material conveying equipment, which consists of a base belt, a skirt and a partition. The skirt conveyor belt has the advantages of large inclination, high capacity, low energy consumption and small footprint. The skirt conveyor belt relies on the anti-skid design of the skirt and the non-slip design of the partitions to stably transport bulk materials such as coal, ore, grain, etc., and is suitable for light industrial scenarios such as food and medicine. When using, it is necessary to avoid load start-up, regular inspection for deviation and damage, and to prevent chemical corrosion and physical folding during storage.
Selection of skirt conveyor belt:
1. Choose the skirt conveyor belt according to the material characteristics: if it is a powdery material, such as flour, cement, etc., it is easy to leak and raise dust. When choosing a conveyor belt, the height of the skirt should be moderate, almost 100-150mm, with a PVC material conveyor belt with good adhesion, which can prevent powder from overflowing from the seam between the skirt and the conveyor belt. If the material is easy to dust, it is best to add a closed protective cover, or choose a smooth surface skirt conveyor belt to reduce powder adhesion. If it is granular materials, such as grain, sand, gravel, etc., the skirt must be made of wear-resistant rubber material, which can prevent the long-term friction of the particles from causing damage to the skirt. If the particle size is greater than 50mm, the skirt height must be 200mm and above, and the spacing between the partitions must not be too small, otherwise the large particles will easily get stuck. If it is a bulk material, such as ore, building material fragments, etc., the skirt must be made of high-strength polyurethane or thick rubber, and the bottom should be strengthened to prevent the impact of bulk materials from causing the skirt to break. At the same time, the tensile strength of the skirt conveyor belt must also be improved to prevent the deformation of the skirt conveyor belt caused by the heavy pressure of large pieces of material.
2. Pay attention to the quality of the skirt and baffle of the skirt conveyor belt: the skirts of some conveyor belts are lapsed, and there are gaps in the joints, which are easy to hide and leak materials in use, which affects production efficiency. In addition, the skirt baffle of ordinary conveyor belts is commonly used in the cold-sticking process, which is easy to fall off during use, which will cause the production line to be paralyzed. When choosing, it is best to choose a seamless anti slip conveyor belt with a firm skirt baffle.
3. Pay attention to the material of the anti slip conveyor belt: some peers will doped recycled materials in the raw materials of the anti slip conveyor belt, which has uneven texture and short service life.
4. Check the quality of anti slip conveyor belt joints: if the joint technology of ordinary conveyor belts is not up to standard, it will be easy to open and warp the teeth at the bend of the hoist. When choosing anti slip conveyor belt, pay attention to the firmness of the joint to ensure that no teeth are opened or warped.
5. Consider the adaptability of the drum of the anti slip conveyor belt: the anti slip conveyor belt has higher requirements for the drum than that of ordinary conveyor belts. In the case of the same model, choose a larger drum model than that used in ordinary conveyor belts, which can make the anti slip conveyor belt run smoothly.
