一、 Dust leakage issue on conveyor belt
A conveyor belt is a type of equipment that is frequently used in industrial production processes for transporting goods. However, during conveyor belt transportation, dust from materials often leaks out from both sides of the conveyor belt, posing potential hazards to the environment around the production line and the health of employees.
二、 Technical means for sealing conveyor belts
To reduce the harm of dust leakage, we can use the following technical measures to seal the conveyor belt:
- Enclosing the enclosure: A cover made of steel plates, PVC, and other materials is used to enclose the conveyor belt. Sealant or sealing tape is used to seal the gaps of the enclosure, which can prevent the leakage of dust.
- Enclosed exhaust system: Install exhaust systems on both sides or above the conveyor belt, using the principle of air flow to extract the generated dust and prevent it from spreading to the surrounding environment.
- Wet sealing: Spray water mist or water film on the area where materials are transported on the conveyor belt. Dust will settle and condense due to water vapor, achieving the effect of dust sealing.
三、 Practical experience: How to reduce dust leakage
The closure of conveyor belts needs to be optimized and adjusted according to specific situations. The following are common practical experiences:
Firstly, it is necessary to control the source of dust and avoid excessive dust generation. Try to control the particle size and humidity of the materials as much as possible to avoid generating excessive dust.
- Reduce the speed of the conveyor belt appropriately, reduce the stimulation of dust generated by material friction with the conveyor belt, and thus reduce dust leakage.
- Regularly inspect and maintain closed facilities, and repair existing vulnerabilities; Regularly clean the dust and dirt on and near the conveyor belt to maintain the normal operation of the equipment and a dust-free working environment.
In summary, adopting reasonable sealing methods and practical experience can effectively prevent dust leakage on the conveyor belt, ensuring the environment around the production line and the health of employees.
