Features of Return Conveyor Ploughs

01/

Reduced Wear and Tear

One of the primary benefits of using a return conveyor plough is the reduction in wear and tear on the conveyor belt. By removing residual material, the plough prevents the buildup of abrasive particles that can cause damage to the belt surface over time. This extends the belt’s lifespan and reduces the frequency of replacements, leading to significant cost savings.

02/

Prevention of Belt Misalignment

Material buildup can cause the belt to misalign, leading to operational inefficiencies and potential damage to the entire conveyor system. The return conveyor plough ensures that the belt remains clean and properly aligned, minimizing the risk of costly downtime and repairs.

03/

Increased Efficiency

Efficient material handling is key to maintaining high productivity levels. The return conveyor plough helps achieve this by preventing the accumulation of debris that can slow down or halt the conveyor system. As a result, operations can proceed with fewer interruptions, leading to improved overall efficiency.

04/

Lower Maintenance Costs

Regular maintenance of conveyor belts can be costly and time-consuming. By preventing material buildup, the return conveyor plough reduces the need for frequent maintenance interventions. This not only saves on labor costs but also minimizes the expenditure on replacement parts and repairs.

05/

Enhanced Material Flow

By keeping the conveyor belt clean, the return conveyor plough ensures a smooth and uninterrupted flow of materials. This is particularly important in industries where continuous operation is critical. A clean belt minimizes the risk of material spillage and blockages, which can otherwise hinder productivity.

06/

Energy Savings

A clean conveyor belt operates more smoothly and requires less energy to move materials. This translates into lower energy consumption and reduced operational costs. Over time, the energy savings can be substantial, making the return conveyor plough a cost-effective addition to any conveyor system.

Applications of Return Conveyor Ploughs

Quarries – Keeps crushed stone and fines from contaminating tail pulleys.

Mining – Clears return belts of mud, clay, and large particles.

Cement Plants – Removes cement dust and clinker from the return path.

Coal Handling – Deflects sticky coal residue off the return belt side.

Steel Industry – Works well with slag and scrap return conveyors.

Fertilizer Plants – Minimizes corrosive buildup from chemical handling.

Recycling – Prevents wet paper, plastics, and small metals from accumulating.

Agricultural – Protects belts transporting grain, feed, and mulch materials.

Precautions for Using the Return Conveyor Ploughs

Location

Ploughs should be strategically placed at key points along the conveyor system where spillage is most likely to occur. This ensures maximum effectiveness in preventing material buildup.

Compatibility

Ploughs should be compatible with the existing conveyor system in terms of belt width, speed, and operating conditions. Choosing the right type of plough for specific application requirements is essential for optimal performance.

Maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance of ploughs are crucial to ensure continued effectiveness. This includes checking for wear and tear on blades, adjusting tension, and addressing any issues that may affect performance.

FAQ

Q: What is a return conveyor plough?

A: The return conveyor plough is a device installed on the non-working surface of the conveyor return belt. It is used to clean the residual material on the return belt surface, prevent the material from being caught in the tail wheel, reduce the accumulation of loose materials, and protect the tail wheel to the greatest extent.

Q: What is the main function of the return conveyor plough?

A: Its main function is to protect the tail wheel. By cleaning the residual material on the return belt surface, it prevents the material from entering between the tail wheel and the belt, reduces the wear of the tail wheel, and reduces the risk of equipment failure, at the same time, it prevents the material from spilling, keeps the working area clean, and improves the efficiency and safety of the conveyor operation.

Q: Where is the return conveyor plough installed on the conveyor?

A: It is usually installed on the non-working surface of the return belt of the conveyor, close to the front of the tail wheel, before the belt enters the tail wheel, so as to clean the material before it reaches the tail wheel.

Q: How to adjust the contact pressure between the scraper and the belt of the return conveyor plough?

A: For some plow cleaners with adjustment devices, the pressure of the scraper on the belt can be changed by rotating the adjustment bolt and using the spring or counterweight structure, for floating plow cleaners, the contact pressure is automatically adjusted by gravity and the friction of the belt during operation, mainly through its own structural design, to ensure effective cleaning without damaging the belt.

Q: What factors affect the cleaning effect of the return conveyor plough?

A: Affected by the scraper material and the degree of wear, the cleaning ability of the scraper with severe wear is reduced; the surface condition of the belt, such as whether the belt is damaged or deformed, affects the fit of the scraper, improper installation angle and pressure will lead to incomplete cleaning.

Q: What should be paid attention to in the daily maintenance of the return conveyor plow type sweeper?

A: Daily maintenance should check the wear of the scraper. If the wear exceeds a certain degree, it should be replaced in time, check whether the mounting bracket is loose, and tighten it in time if it is loose, clean the materials accumulated on the scraper and bracket to keep the sweeper clean.
