Reasons and solutions for tearing of hopper belt in bucket elevator

The hopper belt of a bucket elevator is usually a canvas belt, and sometimes tape and chains are also used. Under the combined effect of various faults, canvas and tape are prone to tearing, which is one of the most serious faults. The process of deviation and detachment of the general hopper belt is most likely to cause tearing of the hopper. Timely and comprehensive investigation of the causes and troubleshooting should be carried out. In addition, the inclusion of foreign objects with sharp edges in the material can also cause the hopper belt to crack. Therefore, in production, steel wire mesh or magnet should be installed at the feed inlet to prevent large foreign objects from falling into the machine base.
