How does a rack and pinion work on a gate?

Rack and pinion steering works by using a gear system to translate the steering wheel's circular motion into the linear motion needed to turn the wheels. A metal tube houses the gear set. The tube has openings on each end to allow the rack to attach to an axial rod.

For what purpose the bucket elevator is used?

A bucket elevator unit or grain leg unit features a series of buckets that are attached to a rotating chain or a belt with pulleys at both places – top and bottom. Buckets are filled with bulk materials like grains, fertilizers, woodchips, coal and so on, at the bottom of the elevator and then moved to the desired point. Once the bucket reaches the point, it discharges the content and returns to the initial point. Bucket elevators have low driving power, which give them an edge over other conveyor types. Weight of loaded bucket assembly on either side of conveyor, keeps the system in balance, resulting in low power usage. They’re generally enclosed to protect the internal parts & make use of stainless steel fasteners to prevent rusting & corrosion.

What is the difference between a bucket conveyor and a bucket elevator?

Bucket elevators move bulk material vertically much like the conveyor belt. Buckets are attached to a rotating belt and fill with the material at the bottom of the elevator then move it to a designated point. When the bucket reaches this point, it discharges the contents, returns to the start point, and begins the process again. Buckets prevent spillage with their upright position design. There are three types of bucket elevators to choose from.

Configurations for bucket elevators get engineered for different applications. Depending on the kind of material you want the conveyor to move, the horsepower it will take to run it, and how high the elevator will go determines which type of elevator to use. The options open to you are centrifugal bucket elevators, continuous or positive discharge types.

Centrifugal Bucket Elevator rotates at a swift pace and deposits the material at the top of the lift at 'centrifugal force' (objects traveling in a circle behave as if they are experiencing an outward force). Centrifugal Bucket Elevators move at about 4.3 to 11.5 feet per second, with buckets spread further apart. This type of bucket conveyor works great with fine, granular material as it too fast for lumpy material.

Continuous Bucket Elevators are a much gentler process. This process moves much slower at 3.3 to 4.3 feet per second. Continuous Bucket Elevator best handles materials that are fluffy and light and should not be aerated. Buckets are placed side-by-side with no gaps in between so the material does not spill out. This system allows for more material processing per rotation. When using a bulkier material with this method, you will need horizontal or angular assembly.

Positive Discharge Bucket Elevator is a lot like the Centrifugal Bucket Elevator. This process works best on materials that will stick to the sides of the bucket and not allow them to discharge. Positive Discharge Bucket Elevator rotates slower at a rate of approximately 2.7 feet per second. Compensations are made for the slower speeds with the use of larger buckets. Buckets are passed over an extra sprocket to give them a jolt to dislodging stuck material.

The Bucket Conveyor process works best for dry, dusty material. These machines will also work well for heavier, more challenging material such as those found in mining operations. It is not recommended that you use this system if your material is wet, sticky, or has a sludge consistency. The build-up these materials can create discharge issues during your process.

What is Travelling Tripper?

Travelling tripper is designed for unloading and storage of bulk materials throughout the length of the warehouse. It is used together with belt conveyor.

What is a Tripper Conveyor?

A Tripper Conveyor is a form of conveyor belt used in construction, mining, and other large-scale earth-moving businesses. They are also known as tiered or stepped conveyers, and the term "tripper" is a colloquialism that formed after they came into widespread use. Belt Trippers are short belt conveyors that can be positioned at different points along a main belt conveyor to “trip” or divert the flow of bulk materials off through a chute. Bulk materials discharge off the Belt Tripper to another belt conveyor, to storage or to processing.

What is a flap gate and the purpose of it?

Flap gate is simply a thick plate hinged by one side and the other end is free. It is operated by actuator or rack and pinion. In a Y chute the leg which is need to be closed is covered by this gate while the other gate is open and materials can flow.

These are used to channelize the route of coal through another belt in case the former is broken or unhealthy. The flap gates open let the coal pass and if closed stop its movement.

What is a pipe conveyor and what are the two types of conveyors?

PIPE CONVEYOR is a modern and environmentally friendly transport system solving numerous problems associated with conventional conveyor system, i.e. spillage of materials, limitations with regard to steep incline and curve layout, etc.

PIPE CONVEYOR also manages to transport difficult materials, i.e. powder and/or materials that are similar to liquid.

BRIDGESTONE is the pioneer of the PIPE CONVEYOR system since acquiring patents and rights from Japan Pipe Conveyor Co. Ltd. in 1987 and has around 1000 supply records worldwide since the 1980's.

How do conveyors work?

A conveyor system is a fast and efficient mechanical handling apparatus for automatically transporting loads and materials within an area. This system minimizes human error, lowers workplace risks and reduces labor costs — among other benefits. They are useful in helping to move bulky or heavy items from one point to another. A conveyor system may use a belt, wheels, rollers, or a chain to transport objects.

What is conveyor idler?

A conveyor idler is a small round part of a conveyor belt that is similar to a gear or pulley. Pulleys and idlers are very similar items. In general, the idler is designated as a pulley that does not bear a primary load, or primarily drive a motor or component of a conveyor system.

Idlers are fitted to different sections of the conveyor belt depending on the purposes of their use. There is a wide variety of idlers available; however, the four most common idlers each have particular benefits. Some of these benefits include impact absorption, support for the carry and return sides of the belt or maintaining correct tracking of the belt.

What is idler pulley for conveyor belt?

The 4 Most Common Idlers are as follows:-

Trough Idlers
Trough idlers are the most common type of carry idler, which are typically designed with 3 or 5 idler rollers and are fitted to the carry-side of the conveyor belt. The 5-roll idler offers more uniform cross section, resulting in a greater net carrying capacity. The 3-roll design has a centre idler roll and wing idlers on either side.
The benefit of using a trough idler is that they help to ensure the load-bearing capacity of the conveyor belt is the same along the length of the belt. With a more even distribution of load-bearing, the maximum capacity of material at the loading point won’t fall off of the belt.

Flat Return Idlers
Flat return idlers are the most common idler on the return side of a conveyor with single steel mounted on two drop brackets. Although a one roller design for flat return idlers is the most common, they are also available with two rollers.
The purpose of using a flat return idler is to support the belt from the return side to prevent stretching, sagging and failure of the belt, which increases the service life of the conveyor belt.

Impact Idlers
Impact idlers are designed for loading areas of the belt, where belt damage is common due to the falling material and consistent impacts. Impact rollers absorb impact forces helping prevent damage to the conveyor belt, idler frame and surrounding structure from occurring.
The key benefit of using impact idlers is the prevention of damage to the belt as belts are costly to repair and replace. Therefore, they help improve productivity and decrease maintenance costs.

Training Return Idlers
Training return idlers detect belt misalignment and correct it, ensuring the belt tracks accurately at the tail end of the conveyor during operations.
If the belt misaligns and rubs against a fixed structure, the head chute or conveyor component, severe damage to the belt can occur as well as damage to anything the belt makes contact with. Therefore, using a training return idler helps to reduce belt damage and the associated repair costs to the belt, structure and components.
