The development trend of scraper conveyor is as follows:
①Continue to develop towards large-scale. Large-scale includes several aspects such as large conveying capacity, large single unit length and large conveying inclination. The length of hydraulic conveyor has reached more than 440 kilometers. The length of the belt conveyor has been nearly 15 kilometers, and has appeared by a number of units to form a link between A and B of the "belt conveyor". Many countries are exploring long distances, large capacity continuous transportation of materials and more perfect conveyor structure.
② Expand the scope of use of the conveyor. The development of high temperature, low temperature conditions, corrosive, radioactive, flammable substances working in the environment, as well as conveying hot, explosive, easy to agglomerate, sticky materials conveyor.
③ so that the structure of the conveyor to meet the material handling system automation control on the requirements of a single machine. Such as the post office used to automatically sort packages of trolley-type conveyor should be able to meet the requirements of the sorting action.
④Reducing energy consumption to save energy has become an important aspect of scientific research in the field of conveyor technology. The energy consumed by conveying 1 kilometer of 1 ton of material has been taken as one of the important indexes of conveyor selection.
⑤ Reduce the dust, noise and exhaust gas produced by various conveyors during operation.
