Impact bars are developed and designed for absorbing the impact damage that could occur at the material loading points of the conveyor belt.
The characteristics of high energy absorption and low friction are of prime importance to mitigate the impact at the loading areas.
Impact bars are installed under the conveyor belt in the form of a cradle at the loading zones and act as an anti-friction slider bed to absorb the drop energy of material impact.
In the absence of impact bars conveyor belts are often damaged due to the inadequate and uneven support to the belt.
Zenith offers impact bars as a solution to eliminate such problems.
Components of the Impact Bar
Belt Contact Strip
The top layer is made of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene offering a low coefficient of friction with the conveyor belt.
Acts as an energy absorber for the load dropped at the material feeding points.
Facilitates the quick mounting of the impact bar serving as fastening units & is made from an Aluminium alloy.
Rubber Base
T – Slot Profile
Benefits
Prevents tear and puncture damage to the belt, hence increasing its operating life.
Easy and quick installation.
Acts as a shock absorber at loading points due to the high quality energy absorbing rubber.
Abrasion resistant.
Minimum maintenance required.
Prevents conveyor belt sagging.
Reduction in spillage in conjunction with skirt sealing arrangement.
Minimum friction with the belt
Centralising effect and belt alignment
