[Case Study] Conveyor Belt - Dust Prevention Measures Using Skirt Rubber
At the A Steelworks, you were troubled by dust generation and spillage issues with the powder raw material transport conveyor line. In the transition areas of the steep belt conveyor, spillage and dust generation are likely to occur. As a countermeasure, skirt rubber has been installed to address spillage and dust from the sides of the belt. This skirt rubber was made from cut pieces of old belt conveyors. When the skirt rubber from the old belt is pressed against the surface of the belt, it causes uneven wear in the areas where the skirt rubber makes contact, and the belt can slip due to the pressure applied. As a result, it was used with gaps, leading to an inability to control spillage and dust generation. Issues: 1. Uneven wear on the belt occurs. 2. The belt slips due to the pressure applied. 3. Using it with gaps prevents spillage and dust generation from stopping.

basic information
1. I propose changing the material of the skirt rubber to a softer, more wear-resistant material. I suggested changing the material of the skirt rubber to a soft, wear-resistant natural rubber that has been low-temperature cured, specifically Linatex (natural rubber with a thickness of 3mm). Due to its soft material, it does not cause uneven wear on the belt even when pressed against the surface, and there is also less resistance when pressed, preventing the belt from slipping. By pressing the Linatex skirt rubber against the belt, it helps to reduce spillage and dust generation. Additionally, its elasticity is effective in preventing the adhesion of powdered raw materials when vibrations occur.
