The principle composition of the conveyor drum
Mar 22, 2023| What is a conveyor drum? Conveying rollers is a must-have equipment for roller conveyors! The conveyor drum is generally composed of a combination of drum, bracket, drive part, frame and other components. Common drum types are reversing drum, drive drum and drum motor.
The principle composition of the conveyor drum
The transmission principle of the conveyor drum is generally driven by belts, plane friction transmission belts, single sprockets, double sprockets, synchronous belts and other spools. The principle of its power is driven by electric drum, geared motor drive and other driving methods. The principle of speed regulation of conveying rollers includes stepless speed change, frequency conversion speed regulation and so on.
According to the structural characteristics of the conveying drum, if according to the form of the layout can be divided into multi-layer conveying, turning conveying, inclined conveying and horizontal conveying, if divided according to the form of power drive, can be divided into powered drum, non-powered drum, electric drum, etc.
Classification of conveyor rollers
The transmission drum must be used with the supporting motor and reducer to drive the belt conveyor and play a transmission role; The redirection roller is generally at the tail of the conveyor, where the conveyor belt changes the direction of movement; The drum motor has its own motor to drive the belt conveyor directly.
Due to the environmental needs of conveyor rollers and the advantages and characteristics of drum motors, many industries are switching to drum motors to improve their work efficiency. So, if you are not satisfied with the current production efficiency, you want to use drum motor for power drive instead!
