Problems In The Transportation Of Coke
The general particle size of coke is around 20-300mm. The material is relatively loose. If during transportation, the site is restricted, or the distance and angle between the two points to be transported are a bit large, the coal is prone to spillage, which will cause unnecessary losses. Moreover, the conventional flat belt conveyor has a maximum conveying inclination angle of only 18° to 20°. If the lifting height is slightly larger, coke will slide down, reflux, and cause a large amount of spillage, seriously affecting the transportation volume.
However, our sidewall belt conveyor uses corrugated edge protection on both sides and a middle cross-bar to form an independent closed hopper. The conveying inclination angle can reach 30° to 90° for vertical lifting, and a single unit of equipment can complete the transfer of coke with a large drop height. There is no need for multiple machine transfer, completely eliminating the problems of coke sliding and backflow loss during the climbing stage, and greatly improving the utilization rate of the material.
Sidewall Belt Conveyor Main AdvantagesHigh-Angle ConveyingWhen the factory area space is limited, the transportation of coke often requires a large height lift. The inclination angle of the ordinary belt conveyor is only about 30°, and the equipment is long and occupies a large area. Additional transfer stations need to be set up. Our wave-shaped edge conveyor can transport at an inclination angle of 0° - 90°. Under the same lifting height, the occupied area is reduced by more than 60%, eliminating a large amount of civil engineering and transfer investment, and reducing the overall cost by 20% - 30%.
Sealed ConveyingCoke contains a large amount of fine coke powder. Ordinary belt conveyors are prone to material spillage and dust dispersion during transportation. The integrated structure of the corrugated guard edge and the partition board can enclose the materials, resulting in very little spillage. An anti-dust cover can also be added to effectively suppress dust dispersion and meet the environmental protection requirements of the factory area.
Compact DesignThe site of the coking plant is tight, and multi-level flat belt conveyors require multiple layers of transfer supports to be built, resulting in high construction costs. OurSidewall Belt Conveyorcan achieve various layout forms such as horizontal, inclined, and vertical. Under the same lifting height, the occupied area is halved, eliminating the need for construction of transfer stations, and is suitable for new plant construction and the renovation of old production lines.
Wear-Resistant And Impact-ResistantThe coke has high hardness and strong impact resistance. The equipment can be equipped with thickened wear-resistant and heat-resistant base belts. The guard edges and partition plates are integrated and vulcanized, making them less likely to fall off. It is suitable for different particle sizes of coke. The structure is simple and easy to maintain. There are no problems such as blockage or chain breakage in the bucket elevator, ensuring continuous production.
Energy-Saving OperationUnder the same height and conveying capacity, the operating resistance of the equipment is lower, and the overall energy consumption is reduced by 30% compared to multi-level belt conveyors. It is equipped with variable frequency speed regulation, which can flexibly adjust the belt speed according to the discharge rhythm of the production line, ensuring stable and undisturbed conveying flow.
Wide Adaptability To Working ConditionsFor coke with high-temperature during discharge, we can customize special heat-resistant conveyor belts. The equipment is resistant to both high and low temperatures and does not age easily. It can be installed in indoor workshops or open-air sites. The wiring can be flexibly routed around factory equipment and columns, with limited site restrictions.
Low Operation And Maintenance CostsBucket elevators are prone to being clogged and damaged by large pieces of coke, resulting in frequent malfunctions; while the wave-shaped edge conveyor can smoothly transport both block and powder mixtures, it has a low failure rate, requires less frequent maintenance and component replacement, and offers more cost-effective overall usage over the long term.
Currently, ultra-high-capacity coke is mainly used in thermal power plants. It is usually necessary to transport the coke to the boilers. The height of the boilers can reach several tens of meters. If ordinary belt conveyors are used for transportation, the cost will increase significantly. Moreover, the conveying angle cannot exceed 30°. If this height is exceeded, the materials are prone to slide down. Therefore, the sidewall belt conveyor has relatively greater advantages!
