The influence of the feeding position at the transfer point on the deviation of the belt

The feeding position of the material at the transfer point has a significant impact on the deviation of the belt, especially when the projection of the two belt conveyors on the horizontal plane is perpendicular. Usually, the relative height of the upper and lower conveyor belts at the transfer point should be considered. The lower the relative height, the greater the horizontal velocity component of the material, and the greater the lateral impact on the lower belt. At the same time, the material is also difficult to center. Causing material deviation on the cross-section of the belt, ultimately leading to belt deviation. If the material deviates to the right, the belt will run to the left, and vice versa. During the design process, the relative height of the two belt conveyors should be increased as much as possible. The form and size of the upper and lower funnels, guide grooves, and other components of mobile bulk material transportation machinery that are limited by space should be carefully considered. The width of the general guide groove should be about two-thirds of the belt width, which is more appropriate. To reduce or avoid belt deviation, a material blocking plate can be added to block the material and change the direction and position of the material's falling.
