Plate Conveyor System for Marine Hull Shot Blasting

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Plate Conveyor System

Definition

The Plate Conveyor System is a critical component of the Marine Hull Plate Shot Blasting Machine that continuously moves steel plates through various processing zones. It ensures precise positioning and consistent speed during the surface preparation process, which is essential for removing mill scale, rust, and contaminants from hull plates before painting or coating in shipbuilding applications. The system is engineered to handle large marine-grade steel plates, supporting their weight while maintaining controlled speed and alignment. It is typically driven by motor-driven rollers or chains that grip the plates, ensuring uniform exposure to abrasive media across the entire surface. The system is available in configurations with rated load capacities ranging from 500 to 2000 kg per meter of conveyor length, conveying speeds adjustable from 0.5 to 5 m/min, and can accommodate plate thicknesses from 5 to 80 mm and widths from 500 to 4000 mm. Positioning accuracy is maintained within ±5 mm, and the system operates in temperatures from -10°C to 60°C. Drive power ranges from 5.5 to 22 kW, with a supply voltage of 380 V AC (50 Hz, 3-phase) per IEC 60038. The ingress protection rating is IP54 to IP65 per IEC 60529, suitable for dusty and wet environments. Conveyor lengths can be customized from 6 to 30 meters to fit the shot blasting chamber. The frame is made of carbon steel Q235B with anti-corrosion coating, and the chain pitch ranges from 100 to 250 mm per ISO 606. Materials used include carbon steel, alloy steel, and wear-resistant steel. All values are reference ranges and must be verified with the manufacturer for specific models and applications.

Working Principle

The system uses motor-driven rollers or chains to grip and transport steel plates through the shot blasting chamber. It maintains controlled speed and alignment while supporting the weight of large marine-grade steel plates, ensuring uniform exposure to abrasive media across the entire plate surface. The conveyor is designed to handle heavy loads and operate continuously in harsh environments.
