Tecnitude offers a wide range of services, from power and throughput calculations to a conveyor configurator.Tecnitude provides an online calculation tool to help you determine the drive power required for your Belt conveyor. We also calculate conveyor inclination, power consumption and minimum…
If you want to regulate the throughput of your conveyor belt, you need a Belt Extractor. Calculating the flow rate from this extractor allows you to know the maximum capacity of the Belt and its filling rate. Note that the maximum width of product on the Belt is equal to [(0.9 X Belt width in mm…
To change the throughput of a conveyor, you can act on 3 different factors:The capacity of the Belt used: you can increase or decrease the flow rate on the Belt in question, as long as this remains measured. In some cases, you can opt for a wider or narrower Belt width.Motor speed: use a frequency…
If your conveyor requires frequent cleaning, you'll need to make sure it's fitted with scrapers to clean the Belt as you use it. If your conveyor is already equipped with scrapers, it's because the existing ones are not sufficiently effective.
When the Belt Conveyor belt becomes off-center, it is important to check that the alignment is correct, otherwise it needs to be rectified. When the Belt's 2 axes are not parallel, one side of the strand is less taut than the other, resulting in drift. As it is very difficult to center a Belt, the…
When a conveyor slips frequently, it's because there isn't enough grip between drum and belt.Rather than trying to put "spray" between the drum and the belt, try tensioning the belt or increasing the winding angle.
When the speed is known, several parameters must be taken into account when choosing the gearbox: output speed, output torque and operating conditions.Conveyor maintenanceTo ensure the longest possible belt life, the following maintenance operations should be carried out on a regular basis:Removal…
The length of the Belt Feeder corresponds to the length of the conveyor feed plate. This sheet metal is generally fitted with side sealing flaps, which must be taken into account when calculating the conveyor's power consumption.The longer the Belt Feeder, the more power it consumes. This is…
Rubber conveyor belts (see Manubloc conveyors) with a smooth surface can be used for upward conveying of bulk goods at an angle of inclination of up to approx. 22°. The angle of inclination depends on the friction between the conveyed material and the Belt.By using a Belt with chevrons or cleats,…
Thanks to our modular, easy-to-assemble and scalable system, each of our Belt conveyors can be adapted to the specific requirements of your worksite. The context of the application and the materials to be conveyed are the criteria we use to adapt the length, width and support of the Belt conveyor.…
While it's true that Tecnitude works mainly with professionals, some local authorities or self-employed workers can also call on our services. We're talking about farmers who use our conveyors in the guise of lifting grasshoppers to stock grain or cereals in hoppers. The same conveyors are used to…
Tecnitude seeks to support a number of actions in favor of the environment and sustainable development. Within our establishment, eco-citizenship has become a veritable corporate culture: our sales departments (with no itinerants, since the web has become our medium and our shop window) generate…
