Ceramsite is a new type of energy-saving and environmentally friendly material. It has the characteristics of light volume, high compressive strength, low thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, low water absorption, sound insulation, heat preservation, fire resistance, frost resistance, and corrosion resistance. Used for cast-in-place concrete floor cushions, high-rise building exterior walls, seismic walls, elevator walls, roof insulation, slope finding, garage roof backfilling, etc. It has a wide range of applications in shipbuilding, bridge engineering, kiln engineering, sewage treatment engineering, and oil field engineering. It is also used to produce grid lightweight partition boards, roof insulation boards, hollow blocks, sound-absorbing bricks, unshaped refractory casting, etc. Ideal aggregate.

      In the production process of ceramsite, conveying equipment will be used in many places to transport materials to designated locations. Cooperate with other equipment to realize the automatic production of ceramsite. Due to the different types of conveyed materials and the limited location of the site, a production line will use multiple Conveying equipment, commonly used conveying equipment are: belt conveyors, bucket elevators, screw conveyors, corrugated sidewall belt conveyors, scale conveyors, etc.

Belt conveyor is the most commonly used conveying equipment. It has strong conveying capacity, long conveying distance, relatively simple structure, easy to maintain, and can realize the advantages of multi-point loading and multi-point unloading. Generally, the maximum inclination angle of the belt conveyor does not exceed 25° , It is suitable for long-distance, small transportation environment, the temperature of transported materials generally does not exceed 60 ℃, and the use of heat-resistant rubber belts can transport high-temperature materials below 120 ℃, with auxiliary equipment such as iron removers, weighing scales, etc. , It can realize the functions of iron removal and measurement of belt scale.

      Bucket elevator is used to convey powder, granular and small block materials when vertical or inclined. It has the characteristics of small cross-sectional dimensions, small floor space, and large lifting height. Generally, the lifting height does not exceed 40m. Models such as TH, TD, TDG and NE are mainly suitable for working conditions where the conveying distance is short, the height difference is large, and the height of the material is raised vertically. The TH type bucket elevator uses a forged ring chain as the traction component, and the unloading method adopts mixed or gravity unloading; suitable for conveying materials with loose density р<1.5t/m³ in powder, granular, small block low-grinding The temperature of the material being transported does not exceed 250°C for the cut material.

      The screw conveyor mainly conveys powdery, granular and small block materials. It is not suitable for conveying easily deteriorated, viscous and easily agglomerated materials. The conveying material temperature is less than 200℃, the conveyor inclination angle is less than 20 degrees, and the conveying length is less than 40m, the screw conveyor has the advantages of simple structure, small cross-sectional size, good sealing performance, multi-point loading and unloading, etc. It is often used for conveying dry powder and easy-lift materials, such as bran, powder mill export materials, dust collectors Export materials, etc.

      The corrugated sidewall conveyor is commonly known as the large inclination conveyor. The allowable conveying angle is large, the maximum can reach 90°, and it can realize a smooth transition from horizontal to inclined (or vertical). It is an ideal equipment for large inclination conveying and vertical lifting. Compared with other conveyors, its outstanding feature is the large conveying angle, which can be used for long-distance and large-angle conveying conditions.

      The slat conveyor is a type of slat conveyor. It uses a circulating chain as a traction member and a slat hopper as a carrying member. It can transport various bulk materials in a horizontal or inclined (inclination angle less than 35°) direction state materials. Because the load-bearing part and the running part of the slab conveyor are made of metal, it can transport materials with high bulk density, large lumps, sharp edges and corners and strong abrasiveness to the conveyor, suitable for transporting high temperature of 600-700℃ materials.

      When selecting the conveying equipment, the user shall comprehensively consider the material properties, working conditions, site requirements and other conditions to select the appropriate conveying equipment.
