Five selection steps and criteria for vibrating conveyors
Vibrating conveyors are a type of mechanical equipment commonly used for conveying materials. They mainly use vibration to convey granular and powdered materials. Vibrating conveyors have a simple structure, stable operation, energy saving and environmental protection. They are often used in vibration feeding, vibration screening, vibration conveying and other occasions.
Vibrating conveyors are continuous conveying machines that use an exciter to vibrate the material trough, so that the material in the trough slides or moves in a certain direction. Vibrating conveyors mainly control the conveying speed and amount of materials by adjusting the vibration frequency and amplitude.
Five selection steps for vibrating conveyors
- Determine the properties of the conveyed material: It is necessary to confirm the physical and chemical properties of the conveyed material, such as density, viscosity, humidity, particle size and other factors.
- Determine the process requirements for the conveyed material: According to the requirements of the production process for the material, determine the production process and processing process requirements for the conveyed material.
- Select the appropriate type of vibrating conveyor: According to the different characteristics of the conveyed material, select the appropriate model and type of vibrating conveyor.
- Calculate the conveying volume and conveying distance: According to the actual production needs, calculate the amount of material to be conveyed and the conveying distance to select the appropriate vibration conveyor model.
- Consider the production layout and floor space: At the same time, the production layout and floor space of the vibration conveyor need to be considered to determine the feasibility of the selection scheme.
Five selection criteria for vibration conveyors
- The physical and chemical properties of the conveyed material: This is one of the important factors in the selection, including the fluidity, humidity, density, particle size and whether chemical reactions are easy to occur. These factors directly affect the selection of the vibration conveyor and whether it can operate normally after it is put into use.
- Process requirements: Various types of vibration conveyors such as connecting rod vibration conveyors, motor vibration conveyors, screw conveyors, etc. need to meet the customer's production process requirements during operation, including conveying speed, conveying distance, etc. Generally, the model and property requirements of the vibration conveyor are selected according to the production process.
- Operating environment and safety: The vibration conveyor should meet the requirements of the working environment, such as temperature, humidity, dust accumulation, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to have good explosion-proof and protective measures to ensure safety during operation.
- Easy to maintain and repair: The vibration conveyor is easily affected by some dust generated by the material during use, so its maintenance and repair also need to be considered in the selection.
- Energy saving and environmental protection: The vibration conveyor should meet the requirements of energy saving and environmental protection. Some measures can be taken, such as reducing energy consumption, reducing noise, reducing dust emissions, etc., to reduce the impact on the environment.
Conclusion
The vibration conveyor is an important equipment widely used in the production process. Its selection needs to be evaluated and compared based on many factors such as material characteristics, manufacturing process requirements, and operating environment, so as to select the equipment that meets the production requirements.
The selection of a suitable vibration conveyor plays an important role in improving production efficiency, reducing costs, and improving product quality.
