Description

Purpose:

• T-Track PU Skirts are made from high-quality polyurethane material and feature a “T” profile that fits into corresponding grooves or tracks on the conveyor frame.
• Their primary role is to seal the edges of the conveyor belt and keep materials confined on the belt during transit.
• The skirts help in reducing material loss, spillage, and environmental pollution (dust generation).

Material Composition:

Polyurethane (PU):

• Highly durable and wear-resistant, ideal for handling abrasive materials like ores, sand, and aggregates.
• Offers superior impact resistance compared to rubber or other traditional skirting materials.
• Resistant to oil, grease, and many chemicals, extending its service life in challenging conditions.

T Track Material:

• Aluminum

Features of T-Track PU Skirts:

T-Track Design:

• The T-shaped base allows the skirt to securely lock into the conveyor system’s skirting groove, preventing movement or dislodging.
• Quick and easy installation or replacement without specialized tools.

Low Friction:

• PU has a low coefficient of friction, reducing wear on both the skirt and the conveyor belt.

Flexible yet Durable:

The flexible nature of polyurethane ensures a snug fit along the conveyor edges, while its durability withstands constant abrasion and pressure.

Customizable:

• Available in various thicknesses, lengths, and hardness levels (measured in Shore A) to suit specific applications.

Impact Resistance:

• PU skirting absorbs shocks and vibrations effectively, protecting the conveyor belt and minimizing wear.

Dust and Spillage Control:

• Creates a tight seal, preventing dust and fine particles from escaping the conveyor system.

Advantages of T-Track PU Skirts:

Improved Efficiency:

• By reducing spillage and keeping materials on the conveyor, these skirts improve the throughput and efficiency of the system.

Extended Equipment Life:

• The reduced wear on conveyor belts and rollers translates to lower maintenance costs and longer equipment life.

Ease of Maintenance:

• The T-track design enables quick replacement or adjustment of skirts, minimizing downtime.

Environmentally Friendly:

• Controls dust emissions and spillage, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Cost-Effective:

• The long service life of polyurethane material offsets initial costs.

Applications:

Mining and Quarrying:

• Ideal for handling abrasive materials like rocks, all types of ores, aggregates and minerals.

Recycling Plants:

• Helps in managing loose and fine materials in recycling operations.

Construction and Cement:

• Effective systems transporting sand, gravel, and cementitious materials.

Bulk Material Handling:

• Suitable for conveyors used in the transport of grains, fertilizers, coal, and other bulk materials.

Installation and Maintenance:

Installation:

• The T-shaped base is slid into the designated track on the conveyor’s skirting system. No additional clamps or fasteners are typically required.
• Some systems may include adjustable tensioning mechanisms to ensure a proper seal against the conveyor belt.

Maintenance:

• Periodic inspection is recommended to monitor wear and tear.
• Replacement is straightforward, as the skirts can be quickly slid out and replaced with new ones.

Sizes

• MMC can manufacture skirts of various thickness, length and required bevel profiles with the Aluminum T Tracks
