Analysis for Controlling Belt Deviation in Conveyor System

American Journal of Computer Science and Engineering Survey (AJCSES) is a peer review open access journal publishing the research in computer science and engineering survey.

American Journal of Computer Science and Engineering Survey (AJCSES) is devoted to the publication referred papers on cutting-edge research in all the scientific areas of Computer Engineering and novel insights into its technology.  Journal intends to provide its researchers, practitioners and academics the latest and remarkable researches made by different scientists and industrial experts by providing free access to the published articles.

Belt conveyors are, in most cases, the most cost-effective solution for bulk material handling for shorter and medium distance. The belt is the key component of these conveyors because its cost is approx. 25 ~ 50% of the total cost. As per the maintenance data of the coal handling system working in the thermal power plant, the root cause founded for all the failure in the belt is deviation of belt, so there is a need to develop an advance system for controlling it.

Tracking or training is the procedure required to make the conveyor belt run true when empty or fully loaded. It is the process of adjusting idlers to correct any tendencies of the belt to run other than true. Lihua Zhao has worked for the failure analysis and processing of belt conveyor system, Lihua Zhao has done the work on the operation and maintenance of conveyor system in thermal power plant, the main issues of the system maintenance and failure derived by the research of Lihua Zhao was that of belt deviation. Lihua Zhao has worked for the adjustment method of conveyor belt deviation, adding to that this research has been made. Zhang Jia-wei, Lou Pei-huang has provided the method for automatically detection of the belt deviation and controlling it hydraulically so that the adjustment of the belt can run on the true position.

The research department has installed hydraulic control system with displacement sensor in one of the conveyor systems running parallel to the present system having self-aligning idler installed with it for controlling belt deviation. The comparative maintenance data of both the system working in same condition proved that hydraulic control system is much more effective in controlling belt deviation and hence it must be used in other conveyor system for reducing failure due to deviation.

Based on the analysis of maintenance data of the two different structural components used for controlling belt deviation in conveyor system, working in coal handling plant of thermal power plant, it is clear that the new set-up of controlling belt deviation, compared with the present set-up on the maintenance ground is found out much effective. The maintenance data sheet clearly suggests that the maintenance work can be reduced up by using Hydraulic control self-aligning-idler and it also reduces the breakdown of belt due to deviation.
