The using precautions of mining flame retardant conveyor belt
2024-05-26 16:40In January 2021, our company shipped a 100-meter flame-retardant conveyor belt with a bandwidth of 1200mm to a coal mine in the Netherlands for underground transportation of coal.
Flame-retardant conveyor belts, also known as whole-core flame-retardant conveyor belts, are made of an integral belt core that is impregnated with polyvinyl chloride impregnated paste and then plasticized or vulcanized.
It has the characteristics of high strength, large transportation capacity, and balanced transportation. At the same time, this product It has good flame retardant, antistatic, impact resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties. This product is mainly suitable for underground transportation in coal mines, and can also be used for material transportation in the metallurgical and chemical industries.
Mining flame retardant conveyor belt usually is divided into two types: general flame retardant conveyor belt and whole core flame retardant conveyor belt. But whole core flame retardant conveyor belt is divided into PVC whole core flame retardant conveyor belt and PVG whole core flame retardant conveyor belt. Mining flame retardant conveyor belt could be divided into level 4, level 5, level 6, level 7, level 8, level 9, level 10 according to the belt strength.
Mining flame retardant conveyor belt according to the different flame retardant effects could be divided into general ordinary flame retardant conveyor belt and whole core flame retardant conveyor belt.
The former is only suitable for ordinary transportation environment, requirement for the flame retardant is not so high. High requirements for the whole flame retardant conveyor belt must have no open flames at all, because whole flame retardant conveyor belt are mainly used in underground transportation in coal mines. Open fires must be extinguished immediately when encountering fire so as to fully protect the safety of the mine safety. Mining flame retardant conveyor belt should be maintained clean, avoid direct sunlight, rain and snow, prevent to contact with acid and alkalis, oils materials and other substances that affect rubber quality during the storage and the transportation. And keep one meter away from the heat device.
During the storage, the temperature in the ware house should be kept between -15℃-+40℃ and the relatively humidity should be kept between 50-80%. During the storage, the conveyor belt must be placed in a roll and must be folded. During the storage period, it should be turned once a quarter. The running speed of the conveyor belt should not be greater than 5m/s. When transporting large and abrasive materials and using a fixed plow type unloading device, low speed should be used as much as possible. When the specified speed is exceeded the service life of the conveyor belt will be affected.
Industrial mining flame retardant conveyor belt also know as conveyor belts are rubber, fiber, metal composite products or plastic and fabric composite products used in belt conveyor belts to carry and transport materials. Flame retardant conveyor belt are mainly used in underground transportation in coal mining and also be used for material transportation in the metallurgical and chemical industries. Features of the belt: doesn’t delaminate, has small elongation, impact resistant and tear resistant.
Conveyor belts can be divided according to material: PVG conveyor belt, PVC conveyor belt, PU conveyor belt, polyethylene conveyor belt, plastic chain plate conveyor belt, modular mesh conveyor belt, polypropylene conveyor belt, nylon conveyor belt, Teflon conveyor belt , stainless steel conveyor belts, etc.
