Belts are widely used in China. Here are some tips on how to protect conveyors from wear and tear:

One: Employing detectable tear industrial conveyor belts, sensors with closed loops are integrated into the products. Detectors are installed at vulnerable tear areas, connected to the controller. During normal operation, the sensors emit pulses through the monitor, cutting off the sensor coil. As the sensor passes through the detector, it stops emitting pulses, and upon receiving this, the controller triggers an alarm signal and shuts down the machine.

Two, prevent breaks from the source by enhancing the quality control of coal conveyor belts, increasing decontamination equipment, and conducting debris removal. This has significantly reduced the occurrence of conveyor belt tearing due to impurities in recent years as the quality of coal has improved.

Three, the addition of a break detection device allows for short-term testing results, triggering an alarm and halting the machine. Since belt tears are caused by multiple factors, it is not yet possible to completely prevent the breakage of conveyer belts. The anti-tear devices and inspection devices primarily consist of tear detection devices, which are typically installed at the discharge point. These devices are composed of sensors and controllers; the sensors are mounted beneath the conveyer belt or next to the chute, while the controllers are placed on the machine side or indoors. When debris tears through the conveyer belt, it penetrates the belt or exerts pressure on the sensor, which then sends a signal to the controller. The controller emits an alarm signal and stops the machine. There are various forms of such devices, with similar principles.

Enhance machinery and equipment management, increase the inspection and patrol intensity of conveyor belts, and prevent the detachment of sharp objects like liners.

Five: Improve the belt conveyor structure by reducing the height of the feeding point, increasing cushioning equipment, and allowing fine materials to fall before large pieces, etc., to reduce impact, slow down the material, and minimize the chances of foreign matter getting inserted into the conveyor belt.

Six, utilizing anti-tear heat-resistant conveyor belts and inspectable rubber wide belts, which are rarely used in ports but adopted by some mines. The anti-tear conveyor belts use steel wire rope as the longitudinal skeletal material, with transverse reinforcement incorporated into the belt as a tear-resistant layer. This layer is structured into two types: one with coated mesh, and another with transverse rope. The covering layer uses high-gum, high-elastic, and wear-resistant rubber, with different covering rubber grades for various applications.
