Re: 24 V Drive Conveyors
What amount of torque is spec'd.?
Is the drive in the outback sun?
Are there size restrictions?
One speed or variable speed? If variable state specs.
When you are talking 24 volt do you mean VDC? ■
Re: 24 V Drive Conveyors
Sorry Hass,
I got the truck battery on second read.
What are you connecting this to?
Is there a specific orientation for clearances?
HP @ 0.3 m/s? ■
Re: 24 V Drive Conveyors
Lawrence,
Hi, the unit will be in direct sunlight, fixed speed and will have a consistant product feed directly from a dust collector the amount of product on the belt will be approx 150mm wide x 100mm high runing up the centre of the belt. There is certainly no real loads on the belt at all.
My main concern is running a small drive unit that will not burn out or being not capable of running in hot temperatures, We have tried heavy duty bus windscreen washer drives and also a 24 volt electric door opener motor from a bus, but the units are not going to last.
Thankyou

24 V drive Conveyors
We are currently manufacturing a sample 1.8m long conveyor, with a width of 300mm, nylon idlers and PVC conveyor belt, this conveyor will be used in very isloated areas of the Australian outback in temperatures of 50 degrees +, I am having trouble trying to match up a drive motor/gear reducer to suit such a small conveyor, the drive HAS to be 24volt and run up to 10hours a day continous at 0.3m/sec, the drive will be attached directly to a Trucks battery pack, any suggestions on a suitable drive that will not be overloaded and can be used day in and day out for up to 2 months at a time.
