What is Conveyor chain 

Each bearing consists of a pin and a bushing on which the chain's rollers rotate. Both the pin and the bushing are case hardened to allow articulation together under high pressure and to withstand the pressure of loads transmitted through the rollers and the shock of engagement. Conveyor chains of various strengths have a range of different chain pitches: the minimum chain pitch depends on the requirement of sufficient strength for the sprocket teeth, while the maximum chain pitch is usually determined by the rigidity of the chain plates and the general chain, if The rated maximum chain pitch can be exceeded by strengthening the sleeves between the chain plates if required, but clearance must be left in the teeth to clear the sleeves.It is suitable for the transportation of various boxes, bags, pallets and other pieces of goods. Bulk materials, small items or irregular items need to be transported on pallets or in turnover boxes. It can transport a single piece of material with a large weight, or withstand a large impact load.Structural form: According to the driving mode, it can be divided into power roller line and non-power roller line. According to the layout form, it can be divided into horizontal conveying roller line, inclined conveying roller line and turning roller line. It can also be specially designed according to customer requirements.

Conveyor Chain Features

The composition and characteristics of the conveyor belt equipment with traction parts: the conveyor belt with traction parts generally includes: traction parts, bearing components, driving devices, tensioning devices, redirecting devices and supporting parts. The traction parts are used to transmit the traction force, and conveyor belts, traction chains or wire ropes can be used; the load-bearing components are used to hold materials, such as hoppers, brackets or spreaders, etc.; Brakes (stoppers) and other components; tensioning devices generally have two types of screw type and heavy hammer type, which can maintain a certain tension and sag of the traction parts to ensure the normal operation of the conveyor belt; the support part is used to support the traction parts or load Components, rollers, rollers, etc. can be used. The structural characteristics of conveyor belt equipment with traction parts are: the materials to be transported are installed in the load-bearing member connected with the traction parts, or directly installed on the traction parts (such as conveyor belts), and the traction parts bypass each roller or sprocket head and tail Connected to form a closed loop including the loaded branch that transports the material and the unloaded branch that does not transport the material, and uses the continuous movement of the tractor to transport the material. The composition and characteristics of conveyor belt equipment without traction parts: the structural composition of conveyor belt equipment without traction parts is different, and the working components used to transport materials are also different. Their structural features are: using the rotating or reciprocating motion of the working components, or using the flow of the medium in the pipeline to transport the material forward. For example, the working component of the roller conveyor is a series of rollers, which rotate to convey materials; the working component of the screw conveyor is a screw, which rotates in the trough to push the material along the trough; the work of the vibrating conveyor The component is a trough, and the trough reciprocates to transport the materials placed therein.

Conveyor chain problem handling

Conveyor belt deviation is one of the most common faults when the conveyor belt is running. There are many reasons for deviation, the main reasons are low installation accuracy and poor daily maintenance. During the installation process, the head and tail rollers and the intermediate idler rollers should be on the same center line as far as possible and parallel to each other to ensure that the conveyor belt is not or less biased. Also, the strap joints need to be correct and the circumference should be the same on both sides. During use, if deviation occurs, the following checks should be made to determine the cause and adjustments should be made. The parts and treatment methods that are frequently checked for conveyor belt deviation are: (1) Check the misalignment between the lateral centerline of the idler roller and the longitudinal centerline of the belt conveyor. If the misalignment value exceeds 3mm, it should be adjusted by using the elongated mounting holes on both sides of the roller set. The specific method is which side of the conveyor belt is biased, which side of the idler group moves forward in the direction of the conveyor belt, or the other side moves backward. (2) Check the deviation of the two planes of the bearing housings installed on the head and tail frames. If the deviation between the two planes is greater than 1mm, the two planes should be adjusted in the same plane. The adjustment method of the head drum is: if the conveyor belt deviates to the right side of the drum, the bearing seat on the right side of the drum should move forward or the left bearing seat should move backward; if the conveyor belt deviates to the left side of the drum, then The chock on the left side of the drum should move forward or the chock on the right side back. The adjustment method of the tail drum is just opposite to that of the head drum. (3) Check the position of the material on the conveyor belt. The material is not centered on the cross-section of the conveyor belt, which will cause the conveyor belt to deviate. If the material goes to the right, the belt goes to the left, and vice versa. When in use, the material should be centered as much as possible. In order to reduce or avoid such conveyor belt deviation, a baffle plate can be added to change the direction and position of the material.
