What are the advantages of belt conveyor?

Belt conveyor is widely used in industrial enterprises because of its simple structure, convenient maintenance and capability of conveying various materials. So what are the advantages? 1, can transport all kinds of materials, from fine powder to large pieces of ore, stone, coal or pulp wood, fine screen or fragile materials can be transported with minimum drop. Because of the high corrosion resistance of rubber conveyor belt, the maintenance cost is relatively low when transporting materials with strong corrosion or wear. Belt conveyor can also transport alkaline materials and hot materials with a certain temperature, and can also transport articles. 2. Wide range of conveying capacity The conveying capacity of belt conveyor can meet any required conveying task, from light belt conveyor to large belt conveyor capable of conveying thousands or even tens of thousands of tons per hour. 3. The conveying line has strong adaptability. Belt conveyor can adapt to the terrain with a slope of 30%~35%, while for truck transportation, it can only adapt to the original natural terrain with a slope of 6%~8%. Conveyor lines can adapt to the terrain, bend in space and horizontal plane to reduce capital investment, and avoid being in factories or other crowded areas to avoid interference from railways, highways, rivers and mountains. The transportation line of belt conveyor is very flexible, and the length of the line can be extended as needed. 4. Flexible loading and unloading belt conveyor can flexibly receive materials from one or more points or discharge materials from multiple points or sections according to the requirements of technological process. 5. Strong reliability The reliability of the belt conveyor has been confirmed by the experience in various industrial fields, and its operation is extremely reliable. It has been widely used in many important production units that need continuous operation, such as coal transportation in power plants, bulk material transportation in iron and steel plants and cement plants, and bulk material loading and unloading in port ships. 6. High safety The belt conveyor has high safety, requires fewer production personnel, and has less accident probability compared with other modes of transportation. It will not cause accidents due to the falling of large materials or the failure of large heavy vehicles. 7. Low cost Among all the tools for transporting bulk materials, the man-hour and energy consumption required for transporting each ton of bulk materials by belt conveyor system is usually the lowest. Moreover, it takes less time for maintenance personnel, and the maintenance and replacement of smaller parts can be completed quickly on site, with low maintenance cost.
