Common problems with chain bucket conveyor

1. Chain detachment: During the operation of the chain bucket conveyor, the sound of the chain plate is loud and the wear is severe. The rollers often detach from the track, deviate, and the track is severely deformed, leading to derailment and chain detachment. This will not only cause damage to the hopper, but also increase the difficulty of maintenance and operation, affecting production.

2. Chain deviation: Due to the increasing wear and tear of the rails, the chain bucket conveyor may experience deviation, leading to increased friction between the rollers and the rails, which may ultimately cause the chain bucket conveyor to derail

3. Wear and deformation of guide rail: Due to the accumulation of slag and insufficient lubrication, the guide rail is severely worn and deformed, resulting in unstable operation and even deformation and damage of the chain bucket conveyor

The reasons for these malfunctions include:

1. The track is not on the same line as the head and tail: The deviation between the track and the head and tail causes wear on the rollers and gears, resulting in loud noises and derailment

2. Track deformation: The deformation of the track in all directions makes the chain bucket conveyor unstable and prone to derailment

3. Roller eccentric wear: The diameter of the roller shaft hole increases, causing eccentric wear at the end of the roller, and the short shaft nut falls off, resulting in chain breakage.

4. Rail wear deviation: The increased wear deviation of the rail surface causes the chain bucket conveyor to deviate and eventually derail.

5‌. Structural issues with guide rails: The fixed rail structure is unreasonable, resulting in deformation and wear

The solutions include:

1‌. Align the calibration track with the head and tail: Reset the reference line, calibrate the track and head and tail positions, and confirm that they are on the same line.

2. Installing pressure rails: During online renovation, pressure rails are installed to allow the chain bucket to move up, down, left, and right to prevent derailment.

3‌. Replace worn parts: Replace severely worn pressure wheels and adjust chain tension.

4‌. Revamp rail structure: Replace fixed rails with adjustable ones, reinforce support structures to prevent deformation.

5. Regular maintenance: Regularly inspect and clean the accumulated material at the bottom of the conveyor, strengthen lubrication and tighten bolts.
