Application

Rubber belt conveyors are used for horizontal and inclining transport of loose, bulk materials. The FLS rubber belt conveyors are normally supplied with EP fabric rubber belting to DIN 22102 specifications and are equipped with the special FLS supporting idlers with sealed- for-life ball bearings and grease packed labyrinth seals. The loading and transfer points are designed for trouble-free operation of the conveyors. Dust filters are fitted where required. The supporting structure is manufactured of tubular framework. This construction facilitates the mounting and adjustment of the idlers. The belt conveyors are equipped with effective scrapers for belt and pulleys and with special self-cleaning idlers for the return side of the belt when transporting sticky materials.

Design and operation

Belt conveyors with centre distance >100 m are equipped with sets of self-adjusting supporting idlers on the return part to ensure the correct training of the belt. The FLS rubber belt conveyor is driven either by separate motor and gear or by motorised driving pulley. Belt tension is maintained by screw type takeup (centre distance < 30 m) or by gravity type take-up (centre distance > 30 m). The maintenance requirements of the FLS rubber belt conveyors are negligible. The idlers with sealed-for-life ball bearings are maintenance free. The labyrinth seals can be recharged. The FLS rubber belt conveyor can be supplied troughed, flat or flat with raised edges. FLS also manufacture long distance belt conveyors and have supplied rubber belt conveyors up to 22.5 km in length divided into 2.5 km sections.

Dimensioning

Example : Centre distance C = 150 m Desired capacity 460m3/h (1.4 kg/I) Height difference H = 39 m ~ 15O

Solution : Choice of machinery 1000 mm rubber belt conveyor. Belt speed : 1.5 m/s x 1.10 = 1.65 m/s. Theoretical power consumption : (14 + 68) = 82 kW

Minimum motor size : 82x1.1 = 90kW Weights : min. : 510 + 280 + (150 x 95) = 15.040 kg Max. : 1800 + 920 + (150 x 95) = 16,970 kg
