Carrybackmaterial that sticks to the belt after it leaves the transfer point and continues falling off along the conveyor’s return side. to address carryback, we offer:

• BeltCleaners

• BeltPloughs

• CleanerBlades

BeltSlipoccurs when the head pulley is not adequately gripping the belt due to a loss of friction. to combat slippage, we offer:

• CeramicPulleyLagging

• RubberPulleyLagging

Mistrackingbelt drifts to one side or the other, resulting in material spillage, uneven belt wear, and possible system damage. to inhibit mistracking, we offer:

• BeltTrainers

• BeltPositioners

With over 100 years of experience in the belt conveyor industry, Flexco knows that keeping your line running smoothly is essential to the success of your operation. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive line of innovative belt conveyor products that address the key issues you face.

Spillagematerial that spills off the belt, typically at transfer and load points. to curb spillage, we offer:

• SkirtClamps

• ImpactBeds

• BeltPloughs

* Note: CEMA has created an application classification guide that addresses these three criteria. Further explanation of this is found on Page 7.

some operators want their belts as clean as possible; others are comfortable with a certain amount of renegade material.

Toachievemaximumcleaningefficiency,it’sbestto bring together a primary cleaner and one or more

secondary cleaners to form a comprehensive system. if you only want to install a single cleaner, try to target the area—suchastheheadpulley—whereitwillhavethegreatest effect.

CEMA(ConveyorEquipmentManufacturersAssociation)publishes a guide with the explicit goal of providing "a uniform method for determining the application class of any individual belt cleaner." This is meant as a way to assist in the selection of the correct belt cleaner or belt cleaner system.Thecompleteguide,titled"ClassificationofapplicationsforBulkMaterialConveyorBeltCleaning," orCEMAStandard576,isavailablefromCEMA.

Protect Belt in Impact Area• just like the belt, impact beds see every kilogram of product.

careful consideration should be made to account for the worst-case impact your system may ever see.

• Findyourdropheightandmateriallumpweighttoselecttheproper bed. never pick a bed with a lower impact rating.

• Flexcooffersbedsfornumerousimpactratings: up to 25 kg-m (200 ft-lbs): eZsb-i, eZib-l, drX-200 25 to 100 kg-m (200 to 750 ft-lbs): eZib-m, drX-750 100 to 200 kg-m (750 to 1500 ft-lbs): drX-1500 200 to 400 kg-m (1500 - 3000 ft-lbs): drX-3000

Set Up an Appropriate Transition Distance• often compromised to save space, but short transition can lead to

premature belt, lagging, and idler wear or failure.

• UsingyouridlersorFlexcoadjustableidlers,followCEMArecommendations based on your trough angle, belt tension and belt carcass construction.

Divert Material to Avoid Damaging Tail Pulley or Belt• material trapped between the pulley and belt cancausesignificantdamagetoboth.

• Useaploughbeforethetailpulleytoremovematerial from the belt:

diagonal plough for one-side discharge v-plough for two-side discharge

When it comes to load zones, our impact beds deliver the highest level of material containment and belt protection. They’ve been specially designed to control acceleration, deaden impact energy, reduce damaging vibrations, and extend belt life.

Seal the Load Zone• Clampsandskirtingprovidethefinal—and very important—

assurance against spillage.

• Clampsshouldbedurableyeteasytousewhenskirtingneedsadjustmentorreplacement.

Track Belt in Load-Point• if belt is mistracking before the load zone

it will mistrack through the load zone, causing spillage.

• PreventmistrackingbyinstallingaBeltpositioner, pt smart™, or pt max™ before the tail pulley.

Support Belt as Material Settles• most conveyors feature an extended area where material settles after the impact area.

PowerConsumption. CoreTech rollers have lower runningfrictionvalues,which,dependingontheapplication,candecreasepowerbillsbyupto10percentayear.Lesspowerisusedduringstart-upandwhileinoperation,contributingtolowerelectricalconsumption.

noise. CoreTech rollers create far less noise than steel rollers. The estimated noise contribution of CoreTech rollersis+/-10dBbelowthenoisecontributionofmetalrollers. This noise variation can mean the difference between functioning below the maximum decibel levels and violating ordinances and compromising worker safety.

Rock Shield – The rock shield is pressed tight on the shaft and is stationary when the roller is in operation. This is the first line of defense and prevents larger material from damaging the seal.

Centrifugal Seal – The key to the CoreTech™ sealing arrangement, the centrifugal seal rotates with the roller and is specifically designed to create a vortex with forces up to 9X gravity. This action expels moisture and fines that may pass the rock shield.

Deep Groove Ball Bearing – A last line of defense, all CoreTech rollers use deep groove, factory lubricated and sealed for life ball bearings. The bearing selection ensures all CoreTech rollers meet the required application ratings and protect the bearings from premature failure due to corrosion or spalling.

Bearing Housing – The bearing housing is fused to the roller tube in a way that guarantees there is no path for moisture or dust to enter the roller.

Housing Guard– The smooth surface of the housing guard provides for optimal operation of the centrifugal seal.
