As we all know, the belt conveyors are widely used in our life.
About the frame of the belt conveyor is mainly divided into there parts: the head frame, the middle frame and the tail frame. Among the belt conveyor frames, the head frame has the largest load value and the head frame is supported by it. The gravity of all the devices, and the combined force of the conveyor belt, the force is mainly divided into horizontal direction, the effect of the belt tension is to make the head frame have a tendency to dump, angle steel, channel steel and I-beam It can be used to form the belt conveyor head frame. The choice of these steel profiles will depend on the size of the head frame.
The head frame of the belt conveyor can be divided into the three types as below:
1. Ordinary head frame, small belt conveyor often used this type of head frame, which has a simple structure, was used for supporting the drive roller, discharge baffle and discharge chute;
2. The head frame with the increased surface, it increases the support of the face roller compared to the ordinary frame.
3. The head frame of the double drum drive conveyor has three diamond-shaped rubberized rollers, a discharge baffle, a discharge chute and an external rubber cleaner to provide support, This can be done with a built-in rubber belt cleaner when the head frame is larger.
