When the pipe chain conveyor is in operation, what problems are easily encountered? As a pipe chain conveying equipment manufacturer, let me help you understand.
Chain breakage. The reasons for chain breakage are generally as follows; the selection designer’s calculation error or selection error, pipe chain conveyor so that the selected chain can not meet the normal operation of the working tension; the chain manufacturing quality does not meet the design requirements, the permissible load is lower than the value of the selection;
the cotter pins on the chain are worn out and not replaced in time so that the connecting pins are dislodged and the chain is broken; the conveyed materials are mixed with large hard materials or iron parts, and the chain suddenly stuck in the operation and overload and break the chain; the whole machine is installed and the chain is broken; the chain is broken when the material is mixed with large hard materials or iron parts.
Chain breakage occurs when the chain is overloaded due to large hard objects or iron parts mixed in the conveyed materials; it also occurs when the whole machine is installed inadvertently or when the connecting flanges and guide rails between the casing are shifted up and down, left and right, due to vibration or impact, resulting in chain breakage due to overloading the chain being jammed.
After a chain breakage, it is necessary to replace the chain links, analyze the reasons, and take measures accordingly to prevent it from occurring again. In order to prevent chain breakage from occurring fundamentally, attention should be paid to every aspect of design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance.
