Conveyors and transporters are the basis of continuous production, from mining to food processing. Their engines operate with specific loads. Let's look at the features of conveyor motors.
Operating features
- Start under load - the conveyor starts moving with a load.
- Geared or geared motor drive.
- Work in dust and contamination.
- Length - several drives on long lines.
Typical problems
| Problem | Cause |
|---|---|
| Overheating at start-up | Hard starting under load |
| Bearing wear | Dust, load |
| Winding breakdown | Overheating, contamination |
Solutions
To facilitate starting under load, soft starters or frequency converters are used. This reduces overheating and extends the service life. In contaminated environments, regular cleaning is important. If the winding is damaged, rewinding is needed, if the supports are worn, bearings need to be replaced.
Line reliability
Stopping one drive stops the entire conveyor. Therefore, prevention and diagnosis are important. For critical lines, reserve motors are kept.
