Belt conveyor is an ideal high-efficiency continuous transportation equipment for coal mines. Compared with other transportation equipment (such as locomotives), it has the advantages of long transportation distance, large transportation volume, continuous transportation, etc., and it is reliable in operation and easy to realize automation and centralization. Control, especially for high-yield and high-efficiency mines, belt conveyors have become the key equipment of coal mining mechatronics technology and equipment.
The main feature of the belt conveyor is that the machine body can be easily extended and contracted. It is equipped with a belt storage bin. The tail of the machine can be extended or shortened with the advancement of the coal mining face. It has a compact structure and can be laid directly on the roadway floor without a foundation. The frame is light and easy to disassemble and assemble. When the transport capacity and transport distance are large, an intermediate drive device can be equipped to meet the requirements. According to the requirements of the conveying process, it can be conveyed by a single machine, or multiple units can be combined into a horizontal or inclined transportation system to convey materials.
Belt conveyors are widely used in metallurgy, transportation, hydropower, chemical and other sectors because they have the advantages of large conveying capacity, simple structure, convenient maintenance, low cost, and strong versatility.
Belt conveyors are also used in building materials, electric power, light industry, grain, ports, ships and other sectors.
