Belt - Import export

Belt conveyors used for handling bulk solids utilize rubber-covered belts, where the inner carcass of the belt provides the necessary strength to pull and support the conveyed load. The carcass is shielded from damage by layers of rubber, which may vary in thickness depending on the specific application. Belt conveyors exhibit the capability to transport materials across a broad range of rates, spanning from just a few kilograms per minute to several thousand metric tons per hour. ndard troughing angles are commonly set at 0°, 20°, 35°, and 45°. The angle of surcharge is a material-specific property and can be compared to the dynamic angle of repose. The power requirements for belt conveyors hinge on various variables, including the conveyor’s profile, the type of drive-pulley arrangement, belt tensions, belt speed, and idler spacing.

Novelty Steel is an experienced fabricator of structural steel fabrications for bulk handling projects. With our modern CNC Machinery Park and experienced engineering team, Novelty Steel produces bespoke steel frames according to the EN 1090-2 European Norms. Some examples of the bulk material structure fabrications are : Steel frame for Conveyor Belts Feeders Transfer Towers Bunkers Hoppers Our modern steelwork fabrication shops have computer-aided design and detailing (CAD), which is linked directly to factory floor computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery, creating a genuine seamless CAD/CAM environment. The accuracy of the computer-generated details being transmitted directly to the CNC machinery increases the quality standards of the production. Novelty Steel has adapted EN 1090-2 standards into its manufacturing processes supervised by experienced quality management team.

Belt Conveyor systems consist of several key components with each playing a crucial role in the conveyor’s operation and efficiency. Novelty Steel supplies; *Belt (Belt Carcass) *Conveyor Idlers ( Rollers) *Pulleys *Drives *Other Components

While various idlers have been developed to perform adequately in different installations, determining the most appropriate one remains a challenging task. The primary function of an idler roll is to provide load support with minimal resistance to movement, particularly addressing radial loading from the belt and materials across specific idler spacing. This role encompasses absorbing impact at the loading point and managing belt tension in curved sections, which can be challenging to quantify. Modern conveyor design methods have enhanced our comprehension and control, providing clearer insights into idler implications. Assemblies of idler rolls are strategically designed to influence the belt profile, often forming a trough or tube. It’s essential to acknowledge that the trough’s shape, consistency, and flexibility significantly impact idler roll behaviour.

A screw feeder is primarily designed for handling very low-tonnage outputs, with a critical requirement for positive and controlled material discharge. This type of feeder offers the advantage of easy enclosure, making it effective at preventing the release of dust. Consequently, it allows for a sealed hopper and chute arrangement from the hopper to the delivery point. The basic structure of a screw feeder includes a helical screw that rotates below the hopper outlet and is driven by an external power source. The screw can have a fixed pitch or a variable pitch with smaller spacings in the rear and gradual increases in pitch towards the discharge end. This design ensures that the material moves efficiently within the rear portion of the hopper. Novelty Structures supplies various type of Feeders for Mineral Processing Plants. * Belt Feeders * Screw Feeders * Apron Feeders * Rotary Table Feeders

In a belt conveyor system, pulleys play a crucial role by altering the direction of the belt in a vertical plane. They create a continuous loop for uninterrupted operation. The pulley, also referred to as a drum, and its accompanying shaft combine to create a unified structure. Their operational features are interdependent. The evolution of conveyor pulley construction has advanced from fabricated wood to cast iron and, currently, steel fabrication. Pulleys are produced in various sizes, with the standard steel pulley being the most widely employed in conveyor systems.
