Application of PVC conveyor belts in wet weather

PVC Conveyor Belt is a commonly used Conveyor Belt in modern industrial production. It has simple structure, easy installation and long service life. Widely used in mining, building materials, chemical industry and other fields. However, when using PVC conveyor belts in wet weather, you should pay attention to some issues, otherwise their service life and efficiency will be affected. This article details the application of PVC conveyor belts in wet weather.

Using PVC Conveyor Belts in Wet Weather

1. Cleaning and drying

Before using PVC conveyor belts, make sure the surface of the conveyor belt is clean and dry and avoid contact with substances such as water and sediment in humid environments. If there is a lot of oil or other stains on the surface of the conveyor belt, it can be cleaned with detergent and then dried with a towel or cloth. At the same time, conveyor belts that need to be stored in a humid environment for a long time should be dried regularly to avoid problems such as mold and deterioration.

2. Waterproof

In humid weather, PVC conveyor belts easily absorb moisture in the air and produce their own moisture, shortening their service life. Therefore, the conveyor belt must be protected from moisture. It can usually be treated with moisture-proof materials or coated moisture-proof materials. The surface of the conveyor belt can be sprayed with moisture-proof material. It should be noted that moisture-proof materials should be used appropriately, because too much moisture-proof material will affect the efficiency of the conveyor belt.

3. Improve maintenance

In humid weather, PVC conveyor belts are prone to aging, curing and other problems. Maintenance work should be strengthened. Generally speaking, the following measures can be taken:

①Regular lubrication

In humid weather, the polyethylene material on PVC conveyor belts is prone to drying and cracking and requires regular lubrication. Lubrication reduces friction when polyethylene material comes into contact with metal, thereby extending its service life.

②Regular exchange

The service life of PVC conveyor belts is generally 3-5 years, and the service life is shorter in humid environments. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the condition of the conveyor belt and promptly replace seriously aged and deformed conveyor belts to ensure safe and efficient production.

③Tension adjustment

In humid environments, the tension of PVC conveyor belts may be affected, resulting in unstable operation. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the tension of the conveyor belt and adjust it according to the actual situation to ensure the stable operation of the conveyor belt.
