All production, processing and packaging work on the sidewall belt conveyors ordered by the Brazilian client for fertilizer transportation has been finished, and the equipment has been shipped smoothly.
Main Components of Sidewall Belt Conveyors
A sidewall belt conveyor primarily consists of corrugated sidewall belts, drive units, drive pulleys, bend pulleys, pressure rollers, idlers, centring rollers, belt cleaners, take-up devices, various support frames, feed chutes, discharge chutes, electrical control systems and safety protection assemblies.
Primary Applications of Sidewall Belt Conveyors
Sidewall belt conveyors are general-purpose continuous conveying equipment for bulk materials, equipped with conveyor belts featuring corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats, making them particularly suitable for high-angle inclined conveying.
This type of conveyor is widely applied in industries including coal, chemical engineering, building materials, metallurgy, electric power, light industry, grain processing, ports and shipping. It can transport various bulk materials with a bulk density ranging from 0.5 t/m³ to 2.5 t/m³ under ambient working temperatures between -15°C and +40°C.
Specialised conveyor belts shall be adopted for materials with special conveying requirements, such as high-temperature materials, or materials containing acid, alkali, grease, organic solvents and other corrosive components.
The adjustable conveying inclination angle of sidewall belt conveyors ranges from 0° to 90°.
- Capable of conveying bulk materials at steep inclination angles, which drastically shortens the overall conveyor length and reduces floor space occupation, addressing the conveying angle limitations of conventional flat belt conveyors.
- High level of standardisation, simple structural design, easy maintenance, stable and reliable operation.
- Compatible with the transportation of a wide variety of bulk solid materials.
- Simplified, flexible and versatile process layout; capable of replacing conventional belt conveyors and bucket elevators, integrating the functions of two or three types of conveying machinery into one single unit.
- Corrugated sidewalls fitted on the conveyor belt increase volumetric throughput and effectively prevent material spillage during transportation.
- Both upper and lower belt strands are supported by flat idlers, with upper and lower redirect pressure rollers installed to minimise belt deviation.
