When the material being loaded onto a conveyor belt is heavy, sharp-edged, or abrasive, it can cause significant and costly damage to both the rollers and the belt itself. This often leads to unscheduled stoppages. However, there is a cost-effective solution.
The loading section of a conveyor belt is prone to major, expensive damage affecting rollers, the conveyor belt, and even causing shock transfer throughout the entire conveyor structure. Our impact bed are widely used in our mobile conveyor and radial telescopic stacker conveyor for bulk material handling.
Impact bars and beds are commonly installed to absorb the impact from material being loaded onto the belt. This helps prevent roller damage and significantly reduces damage to the belt and the overall structure.
Two key components are used in the fabrication and assembly of an impact bed. First, there are the longitudinal impact bars, which provide a low friction sliding surface between the impact bed and the rubber belt traveling over it. The second component is the robust steel bed frame that supports these bars and features a modular pin-lock system for easy assembly and disassembly.
SKE Industries' impact bars offer significant wear resistance and sliding properties due to the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear strip on top of each bar. These bars are backed with ultra-elastic rubber to absorb impact. During manufacturing, the bars are joined by hot vulcanizing to an aluminum T-Tracker channel, ensuring strong, reliable adhesion. The design allows for multiple clamping points along the bar, which can be easily cut to any required length.
SKE Industries' impact beds are custom-designed to meet site requirements and incorporate a modular pin-lock system, engineered for the easy replacement of worn impact bars. The system has proven so effective that it is now used across the entire impact bed.
The pins can be removed without tools, and the bars can be replaced without removing the bed from the conveyor. The sides of the impact beds can also be lowered to a horizontal position, providing additional clearance and support for the removal of impact bars. This feature also aids in the installation and removal process.
When maintenance is needed, the wings on both sides can be lowered by removing the pins from the supporting links. This allows the side impact bars to be easily slid sideways out of the supporting arms. Both the impact bars and the entire bed can be removed without raising the belt.
SKE Industries' impact beds can include impact rollers in the design, offering additional support from the side bars. This design provides greater control along the edge of the belt. Hybrid impact beds help maintain the seal between the skirting rubber and the conveyor belt, reducing belt sag and movement associated with load shifts.
Heavy-duty impact beds are constructed from heavy-gauge material to withstand the impact of oversized, large, and heavy material. These designs incorporate fully welded, heavy-gauge steel plate frames, large diameter pins, and highly absorbent impact bars.
UHMWPE is odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. It shares the characteristics and environmental benefits of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), but with additional traits, such as resistance to concentrated acids and alkalis, as well as numerous organic solvents. UHMWPE is 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. It is highly resistant to many corrosive chemicals, has extremely low moisture absorption, and a very low coefficient of friction, making it self-lubricating and highly resistant to abrasion.
