The entire factory conveyor line for automotive wheel hubs is a complex system that involves the connection and coordination of multiple production processes. In this system, drum conveying equipment plays a crucial role in transporting materials from one link to another to ensure smooth production processes.

1、 Composition of drum conveyor equipment

The drum conveying equipment consists of a driving drum, a driven drum, a frame, a conveyor belt, a transmission device, etc. The driving drum is the power source of the conveyor line, which is transmitted to the conveyor belt through the transmission device to make it move. The driven drum plays a role in supporting the conveyor belt, allowing it to operate in a stable state. The rack is the supporting structure of the drum conveying equipment, which bears the weight of the conveyor belt and its materials, and also provides a stable operating environment for the drum. The conveyor belt is a key component of drum conveying equipment, which carries materials and achieves movement through friction with the drum. The transmission device is a component that connects the driving drum and the motor, through which power is transmitted.

2、 Characteristics of drum conveyor equipment

Simple structure: The structure of the drum conveying equipment is relatively simple, easy to install and maintain. Due to its simple structure, the probability of failure during use is low, which reduces maintenance costs for enterprises.

High transmission efficiency: The drum conveying equipment has high transmission efficiency and can meet the needs of large-scale production. Meanwhile, due to its fast transmission speed, it can reduce the residence time of materials in the production process and improve production efficiency.

Strong adaptability: The drum conveying equipment can be adjusted and changed according to different production needs and scenarios, and has strong adaptability. For example, the diameter and spacing of the drum can be changed to adapt to the transportation of materials of different sizes.

Environmental protection and energy conservation: The drum conveying equipment has low noise and low vibration during operation, which meets environmental protection requirements. Meanwhile, due to its high transmission efficiency, it can reduce energy consumption and lower operating costs for enterprises.

3、 The application of drum conveying equipment

In the entire transportation line of automobile wheel hubs, drum conveying equipment can set different conveying speeds and directions according to process requirements to meet the needs of different production processes. For example, in the casting process, drum conveying equipment can be used to transport molten metal into the mold; In the machining process, drum conveyor equipment can be used to transport the processed wheel hub to the next process; In the painting process, roller conveyor equipment can be used to transport the painted wheels to the drying room for drying.
