Types of Impact Beds for Belt Conveyor

MNSTACKER Conveyor impact beds are strategically positioned beneath the conveyor belt at loading or transfer points to absorb impact forces from material flow or lumps hitting the belt. By replacing impact idlers with impact beds, MNSTACKER eliminates damage to bearings and other moving parts, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Features of Impact Beds

1. Robust Construction for Maximum Durability

MNSTACKER Impact Beds are built using large steel sections, fully welded and galvanized components. This robust construction allows us to design impact beds that cater to almost any location and impact load, ensuring they meet the specific requirements of your operation.

2. Versatile Designs for Various Applications

MNSTACKER Conveyor Impact Beds come in Standard, Heavy Duty, and Hybrid designs, or they can be custom-made to suit your specific needs. Each design addresses different operational demands, ensuring optimal performance and protection for your conveyor system.

Types of Impact Beds

1. Standard Impact Beds

Standard Impact Beds replace impact idlers under the belt at loading points, absorbing transfer forces from bulk and lump materials. This design eliminates damage to rollers, bearings, and idler frames. Key features include:

• Modular Pin-Lock System: Allows easy replacement of worn bars without removing the bed from the conveyor, saving time and money.
• High Absorbent Impact Bars: Provide complete belt support in the loading area.
• Adaptability: Constructed to suit any fall height and lump size combination.

2. Heavy Duty Impact Beds

Heavy Duty Impact Beds are designed for high-impact areas where larger lump sizes or greater fall heights are common. Typical applications include Run of Mine (ROM) handling areas and crushing stations. Key features include:

• Heavy Gauge Steel Plate Construction: Fully welded for maximum durability.
• Large Diameter Pins and Absorbent Impact Bars: Form a complete structural system to support impact forces and protect the belt.
• Easy Maintenance: Side wings can be laid flat, allowing the bed to slide out from under the belt for maintenance, especially beneficial for wider belts (1000mm to 3000mm range).

3. Hybrid Impact Beds

Hybrid Impact Beds are ideal for handling small to fine materials where standard impact idlers fall short. They provide enhanced control of the belt edge, maintaining the seal between skirting rubber and belt, thus reducing material leakage and dust emissions. Key features include:

• Robust Steel Construction: Ensures durability and stability.
• Quality Rollers and Impact Bars: Eliminate belt sag and movement associated with load shifts, starting, and stopping of the belt.
• Custom Design: Tailored to meet specific application needs.
