In a conveyor system it is indispensable for the motor to convert power to ensure the operation of the conveyor when it is connected to the actuator. Depending on the size of conveyor as well as the transport capacity you choose the right engine type.
The choice of engine power calculations for conveyors depends on many factors such as conveyor size, transmission speed, slope, operating time, working environment, and so on. Other external factors. Choosing the engine capacity, size, service factor, .. also affect the investment cost of customers. In addition to the cost of investment, customers also have to consider the cost of power consumption in the production process. Therefore, you need to know thoroughly before choosing the type of motor for conveyor.
Steps to select a conveyor motor:
1: conveyor belt load analysis.
2: Calculate the transmission ratio of the tape.
3: Motor torque.
4: Calculating engine power
The calculation helps to select the appropriate motor capacity while still ensuring the load capacity without consuming too much power in the production process. Especially, for large motors it is necessary to connect with the clutch to help the torque start and operate smoothly.
In addition, the working environment also affects the transfer process, so it is important to ensure that the engine is not affected by external factors such as dust, water, waste, etc. or fire. In addition, conveyor belts should be placed in a suitable position so as not to compromise the motor's heat dissipation capability. When installing the conveyor system, you should choose the type of engine suitable for production needs.
