As a common material conveying equipment, plate chain conveyor is widely used in various production lines and workplaces. As one of the core components of the plate chain conveyor, its types and selection rules play an important role in the performance and use effect of the equipment. This article will analyze the types and selection rules of plate chain conveyor plate chains in detail to help readers better understand and choose the plate chain that suits their needs.
1. Types
of plate chains
1. Flat chain: Flat chain is one of the most common types of plate chain, and its chain links have a flat surface, which is suitable for the transportation of flat materials. In the design of the flat chain, different materials can be selected according to different needs, such as stainless steel, engineering plastics, etc., to adapt to the requirements of different environments.
2. Bent plate chain: Bent plate chain is also a common type of plate chain, its links are connected in a curved shape, which can adapt to some bent or vertical material transportation needs. The selection of bent plate chain should be reasonably selected according to the characteristics of the conveyed materials and the requirements of the working environment to ensure its use effect and life.
3. Network chain: The network chain is suitable for scenarios with certain requirements for materials, and there are gaps between its chain links, which can play a screening role in the transportation process to separate impurities and dust in the materials. The selection of the network chain should consider the particle size, humidity and other factors of the material to ensure the normal conveying and screening effect of the material.
Second, the selection rules
of the plate chain 1. Load capacity: The plate chain conveyor will bear a certain material weight during operation, so the load capacity of the plate chain needs to be considered when selecting. Generally speaking, the load capacity of the plate chain should be greater than the weight of the material to be transported, and under the premise of meeting the safety work, a higher load capacity can be selected to improve the service life of the equipment.
2. Material characteristics: Different materials have different characteristics, such as viscosity, hardness, particle size, etc., which have a certain impact on the operation of the plate chain conveyor and the selection of plate chain type. When selecting, it is necessary to fully consider the characteristics of the material and select the appropriate plate chain type according to the actual situation to ensure the conveying effect and the normal operation of the equipment.
3. Working environment: plate chain conveyors usually run in different working environments, such as indoor, outdoor, high temperature, humidity, etc., and there are also certain requirements for the material and corrosion resistance of the plate chain. Therefore, the factors of the working environment need to be considered when selecting, and the plate chain material with good corrosion resistance and adaptability is selected to ensure the stable operation of the equipment in different environments.
4. Economy: When choosing a board chain, in addition to considering the above factors, the price and performance of the board chain should also be considered comprehensively to achieve the best economic benefits. Under the premise of meeting the requirements of use, the cost-effective board chain can be selected to reduce investment costs and improve the efficiency of equipment.
The types and selection rules of plate chain conveyor plate chain play an important role in the use effect of the equipment. When selecting a plate chain, factors such as load capacity, material characteristics, working environment and economy need to be considered. Different material conveying needs, you can choose different types of plate chains such as flat chain, bent plate chain or network chain. When selecting, it should be ensured that the plate chain has sufficient load capacity to bear the weight of the material, adapt to the characteristics of the material, can operate normally in the working environment, and has good economy.
In addition, when selecting the plate chain, it is recommended to refer to the following rules:
1. Regular maintenance and maintenance of the plate chain: After the plate chain conveyor runs for a long time, the plate chain may appear wear and loosening, which will affect the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, regular maintenance and maintenance of the plate chain is very necessary to extend the service life of the plate chain.
2. Determine the plate chain width according to the material flow: The material flow is an important consideration in choosing the plate chain width. According to the material flow rate to be conveyed, select the appropriate plate chain width to ensure the best running effect of the plate chain conveyor.
3. Pay attention to the installation method of the plate chain: The installation method of the plate chain also has an impact on the conveying effect of the equipment. When installing plate chains, ensure that the connections between the links are tight to avoid loosening or breakage.
4. Consider the torsional and tensile properties of the plate chain: The plate chain may be torsional or affected by tensile force during operation, so the torsional and tensile properties of the plate chain should be considered when selecting to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
The types and selection rules of plate chain conveyors are one of the key factors to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. By reasonably selecting the appropriate plate chain type, and considering factors such as load capacity, material characteristics, working environment and economy, the use effect and life of the equipment can be improved, and the efficient operation of material transportation can be realized.
