The exact number of pieces, the choice between 2-part and 3-part belt stations, the belt width, the roll diameter, the roll length, the trough, the profile of the threshold, the lintel, the type of fastening and the material of the belt station are crucial steps in order to to ensure exact fit and functionality. This results in a conveyor system that not only operates reliably and efficiently, but also minimizes costs and reduces environmental impact.

Specifying the required ones number of pieces is the starting point for planning your conveyor system. It not only influences the overall costs, but is also crucial for capacity and material flow. Larger quantities require careful coordination and planning to ensure the efficiency and smooth operation of your conveyor system.

The choice between 2-part or 3-part belt stations depends on your specific application. 2-piece belt stations are easier to install and work well for straight conveyor lines. 3-part belt stations are more flexible and allow for more precise adjustment to curved or uneven conveyor paths. The decision not only affects the design, but also the maintenance and future operation of your system.

The Belt width determines the maximum amount of material your belt station can transport. A larger belt width increases conveying capacity, while a smaller width may be suitable for specialized applications. Accurately determining belt width is critical to ensuring your conveyor system meets the needs of your industry and production processes.

The Roll diameter influences the load capacity and friction of the belt station. Larger roller diameters are typically more robust and can support higher loads, but may not be suitable for space-constrained applications. Choosing the correct roll diameter is critical to ensuring the performance and reliability of your belt station.

The roll length has a direct influence on the stability and material flow of your belt station. Longer rollers enable more even material distribution and can compensate for irregularities in the material being conveyed. Shorter rolls may be more suitable for space-limited applications. Choosing the right roll length is crucial to ensure smooth material transport.

The trough, or even that Profile of the conveyor belt, is crucial to the way the material is moved on the belt station. The standard value of 30 degrees is often ideal for transporting material efficiently. However, if there are special requirements, the trough can be adjusted, for example to 20 degrees for particularly fine material or to 45 degrees for steeper conveyor routes.

The Profile of the threshold influences the stability and material flow of the belt station. Different profiles are suitable for different materials and requirements. A cold-rolled U-section is suitable for light bulk materials, while a hot-rolled U-section is more suitable for heavy loads. Choosing the right profile is important for optimal material transport.

The Position of the belt station, the so-called Fall, influences the material flow and the efficiency of the conveyor system. A negative camber, where the conveyor station is tilted slightly downward, promotes material flow, while a positive camber restrains the material. The exact setting of the fall depends on your specific requirements and the type of material being conveyed.

The Type of mounting determines how the tape station is anchored in your system. This can be done by bolting, welding or other methods. The correct mounting type is crucial to ensure the stability and security of your belt station, especially in applications with high levels of vibration or stress.

The chosen Material for your tape station affects durability and environmental impact. Stainless steel, for example, is corrosion-resistant and ideal for demanding environments. The surface finish can also be adjusted to optimize friction and material flow.

Different drum diameters enable the conveying speed to be better adapted to the needs of the system. Due to the physical laws of the drive drum, a change in the drum diameter is directly transferred to the conveying speed. Thus, a faster rotation of the drum results in a higher speed of the conveyor belt. A larger diameter offers additional support for these effects.

In turn, increasing the speed of the conveyor belt allows for a higher throughput of materials. This means that larger quantities of material can be transported from point A to point B in less time. This is particularly important for production-optimized companies, since higher throughput can enable higher productivity.

A larger drum diameter offers numerous advantages, especially in situations where faster and more effective material handling is required. Higher line speed can increase production capacity and thus improve the profitability of companies. In addition, the increased conveying speed can help to avoid bottlenecks in material processing and enable faster transport of large quantities of material.

However, when deciding whether to change the drum diameter, all relevant factors must be taken into account to ensure that the change is actually necessary and implemented in a sensible manner. A thorough review of all factors including facility requirements, type of material, performance and cost is of great importance to achieve the best possible results.

However, there are also factors that can affect the positive effect of a larger drum diameter on the conveying speed. One of them is the performance of the plant. Before operating larger head and tail pulleys, you should ensure that your installation is capable of running at higher speeds. Insufficient power supply or instability of the conveyor system can cause difficulties in increasing the conveyor speed, which can lead to loss of performance.

Another important factor is the type of conveyed material. Depending on the type and nature of the material, the thickness of the drum can also play a crucial role. With thicker or heavier material, the load on the drive drum increases, so a thicker or heavier drum may be required. In such cases, it is important to conduct a thorough analysis of the materials and performance characteristics of the equipment to ensure that a change in drum diameter is actually necessary.

Experts can assist in reviewing the customization needs of your head and tail pulleys by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your conveyor system requirements. In addition to the technical and operational requirements, safety factors, operational key figures and possible economic effects are also included in the evaluation.

As part of the analysis, the drums themselves will also be examined to determine what changes are needed. If a change in drum diameter is suggested, we offer recommendations for choosing the optimum drum size and thickness. Factors such as the type of material and the impact on transport speed and capacity play a crucial role here. A thorough and expert analysis of the drum dimensions and performance parameters provides an optimal basis for well-founded decisions. Potential impacts on plant life, maintenance and repair costs can also be taken into account.

It is also important to note that changing the drum diameter may not always be the best solution. There are often other factors that affect conveyor speed, such as machine power control. In some cases, minor adjustments, such as over-spinning the drum surface or adjusting the drive settings, may be enough to achieve the desired conveyor speed.

Drive and tail pulleys are essential components in a conveyor system and must ensure high performance and efficiency. However, over time, due to wear and tear or other influences, problems such as deformation or irregularities in the concentricity of the drum can arise. This can result in reduced performance and even damage to the conveyor. It may therefore be necessary to over-rotate the drum in order to restore the geometry and functionality and to ensure the efficiency of the system.

The over-tightening of drive and idler pulleys is a special process that contributes to optimal concentricity. There are basically two types of overturning: cylindrical and crowned (conical). While cylindrical turning removes the drum surface parallel to the drum diameter, creating a precise cylindrical shape, crowned turning removes material from the drum surface in a targeted manner to create a crowned or conical shape. As a rule, the drums should be overwound from a wall thickness of 5 mm in order to achieve better concentricity and thereby improve the running smoothness of the system.

It is critical to note that not all drive and tail pulleys are capable of over-speeding. The diameter and the wall thickness play an important role in deciding whether a drum can be stripped or not. Drive drums with a small wall thickness often cannot be stripped as this can cause the wall thickness to fall below the recommended minimum. It is therefore essential to carefully inspect the drum and, if necessary, bring in experts to ensure that the overturning meets the necessary requirements and that the drum has optimal geometry and true running.

To ensure that the drive and tail pulleys are manufactured in optimum condition, stripping should always be performed by experienced professionals. Improper stripping can result in uneven runout, irregular wear, and other problems that are a result of the stripping process. Rely on experts like the knowledgeable staff at FMG Förderelemente Mecklenburg GmbH from Körchow to ensure a professional assessment and implementation of the overspeed.

A professional over-torque can help extend the life of your drive and tail pulleys. By eliminating imperfections and deformations on the drum, wear is reduced and further wear of the drum surface is slowed down. In addition, optimal overspeed can lead to a higher conveying capacity, since the concentricity is improved, which in turn leads to a higher performance of the system.

If required, we, as experienced experts, will be happy to provide you with professional support in overspeeding your drive and tail pulleys. We always use the latest technology to ensure that your drums are precisely machined and perform optimally. Contact us and we will provide you with a transparent estimate.

Drive and tail pulleys are important components in a conveyor system that make a significant contribution to the performance and efficiency of the system. To ensure that the conveyed goods are picked up and transported in the best possible way, the surface coatings of the drums play a crucial role. Like most idlers, drive and tail pulleys can be painted, galvanized or coated with sheet rubber or Baytec. 

Varnish is commonly applied as a protective coating to prevent moisture or corrosion. Lacquered drums are less expensive than other drum coatings, but often have lower friction properties and are therefore less suitable for heavy-duty equipment.

Galvanized drive and tail pulleys are used to increase the corrosion resistance of the pulleys and thus provide a longer service life. However, galvanized drums are more expensive and have a slick surface that can make gripping difficult.

Plate rubber and Baytec coatings are particularly popular because they have high abrasion resistance and enable a long service life for the drive and tail pulleys. A rubber lagging coating can be applied to the drum to create additional friction between the drum and the conveyor belt. This increases adhesion and prevents material slippage, which improves the operational safety and efficiency of the system.

The surface coatings of drive and idler pulleys, especially rubber plate coatings, can be smooth or rough. The choice of coating depends on various factors, such as the material being conveyed, the speed of the conveyor belt or the application conditions.

Smooth surface coatings are usually better suited for use at higher line speeds. They reduce friction and allow the conveyed goods to slide better, which is particularly advantageous for materials such as sand or gravel. In addition, smooth coatings are easier to clean and offer less space for dirt and debris.

Roughened surface coatings, on the other hand, have proven to be extremely advantageous, especially at lower strip speeds or steeper strip systems. They offer higher friction due to profiled vertical and horizontal lines, which contributes to better picking up and holding of the conveyed material. This ensures that the material being conveyed neither slips nor falls off, which increases operational safety. However, diamond finish coatings can be more difficult to clean and may require additional maintenance.

Overall, choosing the right surface finish for drive and tail pulleys is critical to a safe, efficient, and cost-effective conveyor system. It is important to find a solution that meets the specific needs of your facility and offers long-term economics.

We would be happy to present our wide range of drive and tail pulleys to you as part of a non-binding product consultation.

Idlers are an important part of conveyor systems and are used to move the transported goods. They are usually made of metal and consist of a roller and a bearing. However, the storage floors can be made of different materials, such as plastic or sheet steel. 

Plastic storage floors are usually made of polyamide or polypropylene. They are characterized by their high corrosion resistance and are therefore particularly suitable for use in damp environments. They are also lighter than sheet steel storage floors and are therefore easier to assemble. However, plastic storage floors also have their limitations and are not suitable for use in areas with heavy loads.

Sheet steel storage floors are made of sheet steel and are characterized by their robustness and resilience. They are particularly suitable for use in heavily stressed areas, such as in heavy industry. Sheet steel storage floors have a higher load-bearing capacity than plastic storage floors and can therefore also transport heavier loads.

The most obvious difference between conveyor rollers with plastic bearing bases and conveyor rollers with sheet steel bearing bases is the material of the bearing bases. Plastic storage floors are lighter than sheet steel storage floors and are therefore easier to assemble. In addition, they are more resistant to corrosion and can therefore also be used in humid environments. Conveyor rollers with sheet steel bearing floors, on the other hand, are more robust and can carry higher loads. They are therefore particularly suitable for use in industrial applications where heavy loads have to be transported. 

Another difference is the type of reel body. Idlers with plastic bearing bases can have a plastic roller body, while idlers with sheet steel bearing bases often have a roller body made of galvanized steel. This makes them even more stable and resistant to mechanical loads. Which variant you choose depends on various factors: the intended use, the goods to be transported and the environmental conditions on site. In any case, the right bearings should be selected - because this is the only way to guarantee smooth operation and a long service life. Irrespective of this, modern conveyor roller systems today offer numerous advantages: they enable fast assembly times thanks to pre-assembled components, they ensure less wear and tear thanks to optimized materials, and last but not least they also reduce energy costs thanks to their high efficiency when transporting goods on conveyor systems of all kinds.
