Cable Conveyor Operation and Maintenance
Release time:
2025-12-02
(1) During the initial operation period of the cable conveyor, it is important to pay close attention to checking the tension of the scraper chain, as the spacing between the trough sections may decrease due to operation. If the chain is too loose, it could lead to incidents such as chain jamming, chain skipping, chain breakage, and chain derailment. To check the tension, reverse the conveyor and count the number of slack chain links. If there are two or more completely slack chain links, the chain needs to be tightened again.
(2) The working face must be kept straight. If the working face is not straight, it will cause unequal tension in the two chains, leading to uneven chain wear or causing the bottom chain to derail, get stuck, or break.
(3) The conveyor’s bends should be moderate and avoid sharp curves. The curved section should comprise no fewer than eight trough sections. When moving the conveyor, pay close attention to the coordinated operation of the front and rear hydraulic jacks to prevent sharp bends. Otherwise, this could cause misalignment of the trough sections, leading to chain breakage or chain drop accidents. Special care must be taken not to move the conveyor when it is stopped.
(4) The conveyor must be laid out smoothly. Due to the structural characteristics of the chute, it can only accommodate vertical variations of 3 to 5 feet. Therefore, if the floor of the working face has local irregularities, they should be leveled. Moreover, a smoothly laid-out conveyor facilitates the smooth operation of the scraper chain, reduces wear on the chute, and lowers power consumption.
(5) During blasting operations, be sure to protect the conveyor’s drive components, pipelines, unit cables, switches, and other equipment. When the conveyor is transporting iron materials or long objects, safety measures should be established to prevent personal accidents.
(6) At the joint between the tail end of the transition chute and the middle chute, excessive bending is prohibited. If bending occurs, it should be properly supported with wooden boards.
(7) Pay close attention to the vibration condition of the coupling. While the conveyor is running, check the vibration of the hydraulic coupling. To ensure good heat dissipation, regularly clean the protective cover plates and the hydraulic fluid.
