In modern logistics and production lines, the turning conveyor is an indispensable equipment, and its design and configuration directly affect the efficiency and stability of material transportation. Among them, the application of conical drum in turning conveyor is particularly critical, as it not only improves the performance of the conveyor, but also enhances the reliability of material conveying. This article will explore in detail the application and advantages of conical rollers on turning conveyors.

1、 Basic structure and characteristics of conical drum

The conical drum has a conical shape with one end having a larger diameter and the other end having a smaller diameter. This special design gives the conical drum a unique advantage on curved conveyors. Cone rollers are usually made of high-strength materials and have undergone special surface treatment to increase friction with the conveyed material and prevent it from slipping during transportation.

2,、 The function of conical drum in turning conveyor

Guidance function: The taper design of the conical drum allows materials to be subjected to centripetal force during the turning process and transported along a predetermined path. This guiding function ensures the stability and accuracy of the material during the turning process.

Buffer function: During the material conveying process, the taper design of the conical drum can gradually reduce the speed of the material, playing a buffering role. This helps to reduce the impact and vibration of materials on the conveyor, protect materials from damage, and extend the service life of the conveyor.

Correction function: During long-term operation, due to various factors, the conveyor belt of the turning conveyor may deviate. The guiding function of the conical drum can correct this deviation to a certain extent, ensuring that the conveyor belt remains in the correct position.

3,、 The advantages of conical drum in turning conveyor

Improving conveying efficiency: The guiding and buffering functions of the conical drum enable materials to run more stably on the turning conveyor, reducing the stagnation and scattering of materials during the conveying process, thereby improving conveying efficiency.

Reduce failure rate: The taper design of the conical drum reduces the impact and vibration of materials on the conveyor, reducing the wear and failure rate of the conveyor. At the same time, its correction function also reduces the deviation of the conveyor belt, further improving the stability and reliability of the conveyor.

Strong adaptability: The design of the conical drum enables the turning conveyor to adapt to various complex conveying environments. Whether it is a large angle or a small angle turn, the conical drum can provide stable guidance and buffering function, ensuring that the material can smoothly complete the conveying task.

4,、 Selection and installation of conical drum

Selection principle: When selecting a conical drum, factors such as the properties of the conveyed material, conveying distance and angle, and working environment need to be considered. Ensure that the selected conical drum can meet actual production needs and has sufficient load-bearing capacity and wear resistance.

Installation precautions: When installing the conical drum, it is necessary to ensure that the axis of the drum is consistent with the centerline of the conveyor, and adjust the spacing and angle of the drum to ensure that the material can pass smoothly. At the same time, it is necessary to fix and support the drum to prevent displacement or tilting during operation.

In summary, the conical drum plays a crucial role in turning conveyors. Its unique structure and function enable the turning conveyor to operate stably in various complex environments, improve conveying efficiency, and reduce failure rates. When selecting and installing conical rollers, comprehensive consideration should be given based on actual production needs to ensure their performance and stability.
