Intelligent belt conveyor protection system empowers smart port efficiency upgrade

      Tangshan Xieli Belt Conveying Equipment Co., Ltd., established in 2002, provides customers with a full range of solutions, including emergency protection, unattended operation, and system engineering transformation, based on its long-term focus and accumulation in the field of belt conveyors. Its "Tekmak" products are sold throughout China and exported to more than 30 countries and regions worldwide.

     Currently, China's smart port construction has gradually shifted from the exploration stage to maturity. To accelerate the informatization and intelligence of ports and promote their quality improvement and efficiency upgrade, the state has introduced a number of relevant policies for the smart port industry. In March 2022, the National People's Congress issued the "Resolution on the Implementation of the 2021 National Economic and Social Development Plan and the 2022 National Economic and Social Development Plan". The main purpose is to continuously improve the quality and efficiency of infrastructure development. The national highway network plan and the national port and waterway layout plan have been revised, and highway and waterway construction is steadily progressing, with plans to build 10 automated terminals.

      Port belt conveying handles tens of thousands of tons of raw material transportation tasks daily, accounting for over 80% of the daily raw material transportation volume. It is crucial for leveraging the advantages of the new port area and achieving efficient material circulation. A domestic port, a large comprehensive port integrating multiple functions such as ore, general cargo, container, petrochemical, and coal transportation, will gradually realize "electricity replacing oil" in material transportation with the commissioning of the belt conveyor gallery project. The gallery adopts a fully enclosed method, and it is estimated that nearly 2.4 yuan per ton of mineral powder raw materials will be saved in cost.

In early March this year, a large port visited our company to inspect the intelligent visual tear detection system and the intelligent cleaning system.

   The intelligent visual tear detection system is a system designed by our company based on years of on-site experience. It can promptly detect tears in the conveyor belt and promptly output alarm signals, minimizing conveyor belt losses.

Through on-site communication with the customer, the customer's reported conveyor belt cleaning problem has been difficult to solve. The customer's current conveyor belt transports powdery and loose materials. Existing cleaning equipment includes scraper cleaners, water spraying, and air blowing, but the cleaning effect is not ideal, and a solution is urgently needed to solve the conveyor belt cleaning problem. Our company's personnel and the customer's on-site personnel conducted in-depth discussions on the above issues, made preliminary plans for solutions, and outlined a preliminary solution.

Under the national policy background of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", the intelligent visual tear detection system and intelligent cleaning system launched by Tangshan Xieli Belt Conveying Equipment Co., Ltd. can help ports promote intelligent transformation, realize remote unmanned operation of port production, and build ports into "intelligent automated ports".
