Flat belt conveyor
• Belt runs flat on the carrying side over straight roller type idler or a set of idlers.
• Suitable for lower capacity, low speed requirement .
![Page 7: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pipe belts• Used where bulk materials
must be conveyed along horizontal and vertical curves in confined spaces
• Used where spillage must be avoided.
• The belt can negotiate tight horizontal and vertical curves.

Problem Cause solution1) Conveyor belt runs to one side at a particular point on the conveyor.
One or more idlers not at right angles to longitudinalcenterline of belt.
Build up of material on idlers.
Sticking idlers.
Advance the end of idler to which the belt has shifted in the direction of belt travel.
Improve maintenance. Install scrapers.
Replace or free idler
![Page 21: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Problem Cause Solution
2) Excessive wear on bottom side of belt.
Slippage between belt and drive pulley or pulleys. (Cont.)
Sticking troughing idlers.
Material ground between pulley and belt.
Lag drive pulleys, renew worn-out lagging.
Increase arc of contact drive pulley with snub pulley or use tandem drive. Replace or free stuck idlers. Install scrapers in front of tail pulley or return belt.
![Page 22: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Problem Cause Solution
3) Excessive wear on carrying side of belt.
Dirt, frozen or misaligned return idlers.
Excessive sag between troughing idlers causing load to move and shift on belt as it passes over idlers.
Install belt-cleaning plows at head end and tail end.
Clean, repair and align return idlers. Increase belt tension if too low.
Reduce idler spacing.
Use rubber skirt material.
Avoid use of old belting.
![Page 23: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Problem Cause Solution
4) Short breaks in carcass of belt parallel to edge and star breaks in carcass.
Impact of lumps falling on belt at loading station.
Material trapped between belt and pulley.
Use impact idlers.
Install plows or scrapers ahead of pulley.

Preventive maintenance of belt conveyor system
![Page 26: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Daily preventive maintenance1) Check operation of conveyor controls. Ensure
that all "STOP" pushbuttons operate properly. Also ensure that all limit switches function properly
2) Clean any accumulation of dust 3) Never touch a moving belt or rotating part.4) Keep large lumps of material off belts5)Note and mark “frozen” or damaged idlers for
repair or replacement.
![Page 27: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Daily preventive maintenance
6) Check scrapers and plows for proper operation.
7)Watch for material to build up on decking or floor under idlers or pulleys. This is especially important at training idlers.
8)Prevent large lumps from dropping onto unprotected belt.
![Page 28: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Weekly preventive maintenance1)(Conveyor Drive) Check reducer (gearbox) oil
level, Check reducer for oil leaks, Inspect drive coupling , Check oil level in backstop and inspect for leaks , Ensure all safety guards for drive are in place and in good condition. never touch a moving belt or rotating part.
2)(Safety Switches) Inspect cables for correct
tension, Ensure flags are free from material build up. do not touch loose wires.
![Page 29: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

How to avoid spillage over conveyor?
![Page 31: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Spillage over the conveyor occurs mainly at three different areas:
1)Loading point containment 2)Preventing the escape of material from the run
of conveyor 3)Managing the discharge of the materials being
conveyed.
![Page 32: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Use of pipe conveyor belt
![Page 33: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Scrapper1)Scrapper cleans belt after
belt discharges material from it.
2)Material carry back and reduce spillage.
3)Avoid material built up on snub pulley and return idler.
![Page 34: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Skirt rubber
1)Prevents material falling down.
2)Avoids spreading dust in atmosphere.
3)It also serves purpose of guarding.

Methods of conveyor belt joining
![Page 36: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Belt splicing
Definition: Conveyer belt
splicing is the process of joining together two pieces of conveyer belt.
![Page 37: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Mechanical splicing It involves use
of several types of metal fasteners
It is a quick and versatile method used in dirty and confined environments
Relatively inexpensive
![Page 38: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Vulcanization
1)Vulcanization creates a splice by using heat and/or chemicals.
2)Requires special tools, expertise, and a clean, temperature- and moisture-controlled environment.
3)Splice is smoother and typically more durable than a mechanical splice
![Page 39: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Types of vulcanization
Hot vulcanization Cold vulcanization
1)splices by using heat and pressure through use of a vulcanizing press.
1)Use of chemicals that bond two pieces of belt.

Safety
![Page 41: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
How to avoid accidents in belt conveyor?
![Page 42: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Guarding1) Each workplace must be examined at least once in each
shift for conditions which may adversely affect safety.2) Prompt action must be initiated to correct hazardous
conditions.3) Moving machine parts must be guarded to protect persons
from contacting them.4) Guards must be securely in place while machinery is being
operated .5) New employees must be indoctrinated in safety rules and
safe work procedures
![Page 43: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Best practice
1)Maintenance should not be performed unless the power is off and machinery components are blocked against hazardous motion.
2) Moving machine parts should be guarded to protect persons from contact that could cause injury.
![Page 44: Conveyorbelts New1finalx 140924130748 Phpapp01](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/563db7b4550346aa9a8d2e50/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
M3)Maintenance should not be performed unless the power is off and machinery components are blocked against motion. 4)Visible or audible warnings should be provided before conveyor start-up when the entire length of the conveyor is not visible from the starting switch. 5)Machine operators should take measures to assure all personnel are trained in safe work procedures.
