Common Faults and solutions of hollow pin chain(GETECHAIN):
- The initial tension is too small.
The tension of the conveyor belt away from the drum is not enough to cause the conveyor belt to slip. This kind of situation generally occurs when the hollow pin chain is started. The solution is to adjust the tensioning device and increase the initial tension.
- The friction between the transmission roller and the conveyor belt is not enough to cause slippage.
The hollow pin chain is mostly caused by water on the conveyor belt or humid environment. The solution is to add some rosin powder to the roller. However, care should be taken not to add it by hand. Hollow pin chain conveyor belts should be blown by blowing equipment to avoid personal accidents.
How to judge whether the hollow pin chain needs to be replaced:
First of all, the operator should be clear that the allowable wear value of the hollow pin chain is limited, generally speaking, it should not be higher than 10% of the diameter of the round chain bar.
Second, it depends on the degree of distortion of the main ring of the hollow pin chain. If it is greater than 10 degrees, it is scrapped. Of course, this is calculated from the plane above the main ring that is not curved. If the hanging chain of the hollow pin chain is used for a long time, cracks, bending and other phenomena will occur. If it cannot be removed after elimination, it cannot be used again and is counted as scrap.
