Grain conveyor belt

Grain conveyor belts are industrial equipment specially used to convey grains (such as wheat, corn, rice and other crops) or other bulk materials. They are widely used in agriculture, grain processing, warehousing and logistics industries.

Product Description

Grain conveyor belts are designed to efficiently and smoothly transport a variety of grains such as wheat, corn, rice, soybeans and barley. It consists of a continuous belt made of materials such as rubber, PVC or special food-grade fabrics, moving over a series of pulleys and supported by idler rollers. Grain is loaded onto the belt from one point and unloaded from another, allowing large quantities of grain to be transported quickly and with minimal damage to the grain.

What are the types of grain conveyor belts?

Types	Picture	Description	Applicable scenarios	Advantages
Belt conveyor		Use flat belts made of rubber, PVC or PU to convey grain horizontally or at a small angle	Grain silos, processing plants, short-distance transportation	Low cost, smooth transportation
Large-angle belt conveyor		Conveyor belts with baffles or wavy edges can achieve 30°-90°large-angle transportation	Vertical lifting, places with limited space	Space saving, suitable for height difference transportation
Chain conveyor		Use metal or plastic chain plates, suitable for heavy or high-temperature grain	Heavy grain transportation, feed mills	Durable Used, suitable for high temperature or heavy load
Mesh belt conveyor		Mesh structure conveyor belt, suitable for ventilation, cleaning or light grains	Food processing, grain cleaning or drying	Good ventilation, easy to clean, in line with food grade requirements
Bucket elevator		Use bucket fixed on belt or chain, vertical or nearly vertical grain transportation	Grain depot, processing plant height difference transportation	Vertical transportation has high efficiency and small footprint
Screw conveyor		Propels grains by rotating spiral blades, suitable for short-distance horizontal or small angle transportation	Grain silo unloading, processing plant internal transportation	Compact structure, suitable for closed transportation

How does a grain conveyor belt work?

Grain conveyor belt is a kind of conveying equipment commonly used in agriculture and grain processing, mainly used to transport grains such as wheat, corn, rice, etc. from one location to another.

Feeding: Grains are evenly loaded onto the surface of the conveyor belt through a feed hopper or mechanical means.

Conveying: The motor drives the roller to rotate, driving the conveyor belt to run continuously along a fixed track (horizontal, inclined or vertical), and the grain moves with the belt.

Unloading: After the grain reaches the end point, it is unloaded from the conveyor belt by gravity, scraper or unloading device and enters the next process or storage device.

Structure of grain conveyor belt

The working principle of the grain conveyor belt is to drive the continuous circulation conveyor belt through a mechanical transmission system to transport grain from the starting point to the end point. The grain conveyor belt consists of a conveyor belt (made of materials such as rubber, PVC, PU or metal mesh), a drive device (motor, reducer and drive roller), a support structure (roller, frame), and an auxiliary device (feed hopper, unloading device, protective cover).

What are the advantages of grain conveyor belts?

Prevent grain from spilling: Use a skirt-belt grain conveyor belt. The skirts on both sides can effectively prevent grain from falling from the edge of the conveyor belt during transportation, further improving the grain blocking ability. It is suitable for conveying at large angles or conveying grains that are easy to scatter.

Reduce grain breakage: Reasonably select the running speed of the conveyor belt. For grains that are easy to break, such as corn and rice, a lower belt speed will be used, usually around 1.0-1.5m/s, to reduce the collision and friction of grains during transportation.

Dealing with the problem of high moisture content and easy mildew: In humid seasons or rainy days, it is easy to get damp and mildew during transportation. You can use waterproof grain conveyor belt materials or stainless steel structures to prevent rust, control the transportation time, and transfer and store in time.

Solve the problem of long transportation distance and complex terrain: Farms, ports and other places have complex terrain and need to flexibly layout the transportation system. You can choose mobile conveyor belts or telescopic conveyors, use multi-stage conveying design, and combine horizontal and inclined.

What are the applications of grain conveyor belts?

Grain conveyor belts are indispensable mechanical equipment in the grain industry. They are used throughout the entire process from field to storage and are widely used in agriculture, grain processing, storage, logistics and food industries for efficient and continuous transportation of grains (such as wheat, corn, soybeans, rice, etc.) or other bulk materials.
