Are you interested in installing the industrial conveyor yourself?
In the dynamic field of sand and gravel aggregate production, industrial conveyors are the backbone of efficient material handling. At Dasen Mining, we often receive inquiries about the installation and disassembly of belt conveyors, particularly the DTL140/140/4×710S model. This guide provides a step-by-step installation process to ensure maximum efficiency, reliability, and durability.
Key Specifications of the DTL140/140/4×710S Conveyor
- Drive System: 3 driving rollers powered by 4 × 710 kW motors, single-point drive at the head
- Braking & Tensioning: Hydraulic braking at the head, hydraulic tensioning at the tail
- Dimensions: 3,200 m body length, 1,400 mm belt width, 3.5 m/s conveying speed
- Capacity: 1,400 t/h
- Belt Strength: ST/S3150 N/m
Step-by-Step Installation Process
1. Measurement and Setting Out
- Establish the conveyor’s longitudinal centerline using a theodolite.
- Maximum deviation: ≤20 mm from foundation axis.
- Project drum axis to ensure perpendicular alignment, verified with the Pythagorean theorem.
2. Belt Rack Installation
- Begin with the head frame, followed by the tail and middle frames.
- Align all operation centers along a straight line.
- Tolerance: ≤0.1 mm between single bent and centerline, ≤35 mm between belt and centerline.
3. Conveyor Belt Drum Installation
- Assemble tensioning, steering, and transmission drums.
- Fill bearings with lithium grease before assembly.
- Level drum shaft: ≤0.3/1000; drive drum parallelism: ≤0.4 mm.
4. Driving Device Installation
- Drive shaft must be perpendicular to the centerline.
- Horizontal shaft error: 0.5–1.5 mm.
- Install the tensioning device simultaneously, keeping shafts vertical.
5. Idler Installation
- Install roller brackets and upper/lower rollers.
- In bending sections, bracket spacing = ½ of ordinary spacing.
- Alignment tolerance: deviation ≤3 mm from centerline.
6. Conveyor Belt Installation & Vulcanization
- Vulcanize joints to achieve >90% strength of the tape.
- Curing conditions: 150 ± 2°C, 1.8–2.0 MPa, curing time = 14 + 1.2h (h = belt thickness).
- Straightness tolerance: ≤25 mm.
- Use oblique opening form, cured in one step.
7. Tensioner Installation & Accuracy Control
- Ensure reliable operation, with adjustment stroke ≥ ½ total stroke.
- Deviation between wire rope centerline and pulley groove axis: ≤10%.
8. System Commissioning
- No-load commissioning: Idle test for belt bias, drum condition, belt contact, and transmission temperatures.
- Heavy-load commissioning: Gradual loading to 20%, 50%, 80%, and 100%. Ensure smooth rotation, stable operation, and correct functioning of all devices.
The DTL140/140/4×710S conveyor is a high-capacity, heavy-duty system designed for demanding aggregate operations. By following these installation best practices, operators can ensure stable performance, reduced downtime, and extended equipment life.
