Inbuilt Belt-Tracking and Scraper

Inbuilt Belt-Tracking and Scraper

Purpose of Belt-Tracking

The primary function of inbuilt belt-tracking systems is to keep conveyor belts aligned with their intended path. This is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the belt system by preventing misalignment, which can cause premature wear, material spillage, and potential breakdowns.

Role of Scrapers

Scrapers are installed at strategic points along conveyor systems to remove any residual material that may stick to the belt surface after the discharge point. This helps to keep the belts clean, reduces maintenance needs, and enhances the overall operational efficiency of the conveyor system.

Integration for Efficiency

Combining belt-tracking and scraper systems in a single unit contributes significantly to the conveyor’s operational efficiency. This integration helps in minimising the footprint of additional equipment and simplifies maintenance since both components are designed to work together seamlessly.

Material and Design

These systems are typically made from durable materials like hardened metals for the tracking mechanism and robust synthetic bristles for scrapers. The design and materials ensure that they can withstand the harsh conditions often found in industrial environments, such as dust, moisture, and varying temperatures.

Such systems are essential in various industries, including mining, agriculture, and manufacturing, where they contribute to the smooth and continuous operation of conveyor belts.
