Consist of cross belt elastic straps. Thanks to their flexibility and elongaiton ability they can absorb very high impact energy and stand the weight of loaded products.s.
Flexible Impact Cradles can be appreciated in all industrial uses,quarrying, cement works, mining, steel industry, recycling,waste treatment, etc...
The straps, more or less numerous, are supported by a metal framework, adjustable in all 3 dimensions in order to fit the system to every trough angle, from 20 to 70°. Each strap is fitted with sliding pads made of very high molecular weight HDPE. They are replaceable and their number is flexible, depending on the application.
Pads fixing to the strap is designed such that its elongation is not hindered.
The belt is in contact with a large number of pads which automatically distribute strains and frictions due to elastic supporting.
Pressure is then very low which generates
· very little wear and therefore long lifetime for pads
· negligible energy absorption.
The matchless elasticity of the system can effectively contend agressions against the belts, linked to :
· the nature of the product
· the edge grain angle ( cutting products )
· the weight of large blocks
· the dropping height
· the belt speed
· the abrasiveness of the product.
Sealing is improved, because the banks of the device offer to the spill preventing rubbers an olmost as continuous supporting area.
With deep trough product centering is improved and spill preventing rubbers are simplified or eliminated.
be appreciated in all industrial uses,quarrying, cement works, steel industry, recycling,waste treatment, etc... Its damping capacity fits alse wet products ( paper indusrtry ) or corrosive ( salt, fertilizers ). In every case FLEXAL® increases belt lifetime and reduces conveyor’s maintenance costs.
SETTING UP
Always to be set up between 2 idler stations having the same trough angle, ( festoon type or 5 rollers stations ) when troughing angles are more than 45°
These idlers provide trough shaping of the belt respecting the transition zone and limiting strains.
When the transition zone is short, troughing angle must be limited to the same value as the first station located in the impact zone.
Easy and fast assembling ( 2 cross pieces to be bolted to the conveyor’s framework).
MAINTENANCE
Extremely simple in design, requires no special maintenance. Working visibility and visual inspection of condition are always possible.
In most cases, pads have a very long lifetime, and their replacement requires no special skill nor special tools.
