Features of belt conveyor:

A conveyor belt (or belt conveyor) consists of two or more pulleys, with a continuous loop of material - the conveyor belt - that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler.

The Belt conveyor manufactured by Hongxing Machinery has the advantages of big conveying capacity, simple structure, convenient repair and standard parts, so it is widely used in the industries of mine, metallurgy and coal to convey loose materials and finished products. According to different technique requirements, the machine can convey material singly or be formed conveying system with other conveying equipment to meet different requirement of working line.

The convery belt is mainly composed by the expansion cylinder on both ends and the closed belts tightly knotted on them. The revolving cylinder of the conveyor belt is called driving cylinder, and the other cylinder which is mainly used for changing the moving direction of the belt is called redirection cylinder. The driving cylinder drive the device through the electromotor on the reducer, and the belt pulls relying on the friction of the driving cylinder and the conveyor belt. The driving cylinder is usually installed on the materials discharging side for purpose of increasing the pulling force. The materials are fed from the feeding end, and then they will fall on the revolving conveyor belt, and relying on the friction force of the belt conveyor, the conveying materials are driven to the material discharging end for discharging.
