What type of belt is used in bucket elevator?

A bucket elevator is a device that continuously conveys materials and is equipped with a belt when in use. The type of belt used by the bucket elevator is an important key performance indicator, which affects its operational performance, load capacity, service life and operational stability. At present, the main types of belts are rubber belts, toothed belts, polyurethane belts and polyester belts.

Rubber straps are one of the commonly used types of straps. It has the characteristics of high strength, wear resistance, oil resistance and weather resistance, so it is widely used in normal temperature environment. The structure of the rubber belt is relatively simple, easy to produce and maintain, but its density is relatively high, and its high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance are poor, which are the disadvantages of the rubber belt.

The toothed belt is a kind of special-shaped belt made of high-strength glass fiber belt as the base material and coated. The rubber layer of the toothed belt is made of polyurethane, which has excellent wear resistance, reliable chemical stability, and good elasticity. It is an ideal choice for bucket elevators to be used in harsh conditions. Its disadvantage is higher cost.

Polyurethane belt is an odor-free belt made of polyurethane material. It has the characteristics of anti-aging, anti-scratch, anti-wear, etc., and can resist the corrosion of various chemical substances, so it can adapt to a wide range of working environments and is one of the commonly used belt types at present.

Polyester belts are high-strength, low-modulus, high-durability belts. It has the characteristics of light weight, good wear resistance and strong toughness. The polyester belt has low density and strong tensile strength, and can also be applied to some harsh working conditions.

In short, the belt type of the bucket elevator should be comprehensively considered according to the characteristics of the material, working conditions, equipment parameters, etc., and the belt type with excellent performance and high cost performance should be selected to ensure the safety, efficiency and stability of the equipment during operation. .
