What should be paid attention to when transporting and storing the conveyor belt

(1) Transportation of conveyor belt

1. The outer packaging of the conveyor belt protects the conveyor belt during handling and storage, so care must be taken not to damage the outer packaging during loading and unloading.
2. It is best to use a crane when the conveyor belt is moving. The correct lifting method should use an iron rod with the required strength to pass through the core of the conveyor belt, and then hang it with a wire rope (composed of steel wire, rope core and grease). Hang the beam on the spreader or directly hang the wire rope on the crane hook (add a protective pad at the contact point between the wire rope and the conveyor belt) to lift it smoothly.
3. You can also use a forklift to move the conveyor belt, but you must pay attention that the steel fork of the forklift cannot be used to adjust the position of the conveyor belt to prevent damage to the tape.
4. When the conveyor is unloaded, it should be placed on the ground stably without particles, and the conveyor belt must not be placed on the ground (the axis of the conveyor belt is perpendicular to the ground).
5. Try not to roll the conveyor belt on the ground. If it is necessary to roll the conveyor belt, first clean up the ground debris in the rolling channel, and the rolling direction should be consistent with the direction of the belt.

(2) Storage of the conveyor belt

Good storage conditions can prevent various adverse factors from causing damage to the conveyor belt, so it must be taken seriously. The following are precautions when storing the conveyor belt.
1. During the storage process of various types of conveyor belts, the environment should be kept clean, avoid direct sunlight or rain and snow, and prohibit the contact with acids, alkalis, oils and other organic solvents (character: transparent, colorless liquid) and affect rubber quality. The materials are in contact with each other and are 1 meter away from the heat source device.
2. The temperature in the storage room should be kept between 15 ～ 40 ℃, and the relative humidity should be kept between 50 ～ 80%.
