Impact Bar
- An Impact Bar is a type of equipment that is commonly used in material handling industries to protect conveyor belts, equipment, and structures from the impact of heavy loads. When heavy materials are transferred through a conveyor system, they can generate significant force, which can cause damage to the conveyor belt and other equipment. Impact Bars are designed to absorb and distribute the force of the impact, reducing the risk of damage.
- Mouldtech Industries can manufacture Impact Bars from a variety of materials, including rubber, polyurethane, and ceramic. They are typically installed at the transfer points along the conveyor system, where materials are loaded and unloaded. When a heavy load strikes the Impact bar, it compresses, distributing the force across the pad and reducing the impact on the conveyor belt.
The benefits of using Impact Bars
- Reduce downtime and maintenance cost.
- Extend equipment life.
- Improve safety.
- Prevent damage to conveyor belts and other equipment.
- In addition, the use of Impact Bars can improve safety in material handling facilities by reducing the risk of equipment failure and accidents. When heavy loads strike a conveyor belt or other equipment, it can create dangerous conditions for workers, such as flying debris or equipment malfunction. By minimizing the impact of heavy loads, Impact Bars help to create a safer work environment for employees.
- Overall, Impact Bars are an important component of material handling systems in many industries. By absorbing and distributing the force of heavy loads, they help to protect equipment, reduce maintenance costs, and improve safety.
FAQs About Impact Bar
Q: What is an Impact Bar?
A:An Impact Bar is a mechanical component that is typically installed on conveyor belts or other material handling equipment. It is designed to absorb and distribute impact forces, thereby reducing damage to the conveyor belt and other components.
