Design and function of a pipe conveyor system
The pipe belt works in accordance with a specific operating principle: at the material feed point (after the tail pulley) the conveyor belt is troughed and is fed at this point like a conventional conveyor belt. After the material feed point the conveyor belt is formed into a closed belt pipe by specially configured finger rollers. Further idlers set along the
conveyor route guarantee that the belt is kept closed. As a result, the material conveyed remains protected by the closed belt system. At the end of the belt run (before the head pulley) the closed belt is opened as a result of the configuration of the finger rollers and adopts a flat shape at the pulley. The material conveyed can then be discharged in the
same way as with conventional belt systems.

Belt Sway Switch
Detect whether the belt is deviating and send out a slight alarm or shutdown signal. Deviation will damage the belt and cause safety accidents. Deviation switches need to be purchased and installed in pairs
Pull Cord Switch
Pull the wire rope to realize the switch action, which is used for emergency shutdown. It is a safety switch and is arranged along the entire length of the fuselage.
When an emergency occurs on the belt conveyor, the conveyor can be stopped urgently at any position. There are single-sided and double-sided arrangements. They are generally used in conjunction with walkways.
Zero Speed Switch
Detect whether the belt is slipping with the head roller. After slippage occurs, the Conveyor Belt speed will decrease. When the transport volume is overloaded, the belt tension is insufficient, or the rubber layer of the driving roller is worn out, slippage may easily occur. The conveyor belt speed can be monitored (also the rotational speed is calculated) or the drum rotation speed can be monitored.
If the belt conveyor in the stacker encounters an unexpected situation, such as a power outage or a broken wire rope, the stacker has a self-protection function:
1. The winch motor has a self-locking function of 0.01 seconds when the power is cut off
2. The stacker has 2 mechanical mechanisms If stuck, the internal unit will not slip to the bottom all at once. There are two designs in the middle to prevent jamming.
