plastic cover drum

What is a plastic cover drum and what is its use?

Conveyor drum is a main part in the conveyor system, this tool is installed on the conveyor. The drums act as a power transfer point between the motor and the conveyor. They go around by means of electric or hydraulic motors and cause the movement of this structure. In this way, materials will be transferred from one place to another. This part is usually made of steel and metal, and they are designed to withstand the pressure and weight of the materials being carried. The plastic-covered Sarote drum is one of the types of drums, considering the name of this drum, you will surely understand that the layer placed on it is made of plastic. The plastic used in these items also has different models and quality ranges. This structure is used in various industries, including transportation of chemicals, food and industrial products.

The type of top used in the plastic coated drum is determined by several factors including the conveyor belt, the type of materials it carries and even the environmental conditions. It can be said that the function of the plastic cover in this part is to cover the contents inside the drum. This drama has advantages over other dramas, which we will discuss below.

Checking the details of the material of the plastic covered drum

  In relation to the material of the plastic covered drum, it can generally be said that it consists of two parts. It should be noted that the drum is made of metal and only its cover is made of plastic. In this section, we are going to describe the details of the material of this type of drum in the body and its cover.

The body of the drum is mostly made of metals. Among these metals, we can mention steel or aluminum and iron. After making this piece of metal, its outer layer is covered with plastic coating. These types of drums are very suitable for carrying chemicals and materials that are corrosive. The reason for the construction of the Serote drum is the plastic coating of metals such as aluminum due to its strength and resistance. In this case, the least damage will be done to the device and its useful life will also increase.

Polyethylene plastic coating (HDPE) is one of these coatings.

It can be said that this type of plastic is more suitable for carrying chemicals, food and industrial products. Polypropylene (PP) is the second type of this coating, this type of plastic is used to carry food and industrial products. Carrying chemicals with this cover model is not suitable at all. The final plastic coating is Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), this additional layer is used to carry chemicals as well as corrosive materials. The material of the plastic coated drum depends on various factors such as the type of material you intend to transport, the temperature at which it is used, and the budget.

In addition to the material, the thickness of the plastic cover is also very important. The thickness of the coating should be chosen according to the type of material you intend to carry and the amount of impact and wear that the drum will be exposed to.

The process of producing a plastic coated drum

The production process of Serote drum roller with plastic coating includes several steps, in general, we refer to this process in a summary form in this section. Among these steps, we can mention the preparation of raw materials, making the body, making the plastic cover, assembling the drum, testing and inspection, we will describe each of them below.

Preparation of raw materials: The raw materials of the drum body are metal sheets, sheets with different thicknesses and different materials such as steel and aluminum are available. Other raw materials for making plastic cover are plastic granules, and plastic is also used for the drums.

Making the drum body: In this step, after preparing the raw materials, the metal sheets are cut into the desired dimensions. Then, the edges of the sheets are bent and welded to each other. If necessary, they create holes for ventilation or drainage on the body of the drum.

  Production of plastic cover: In the production of plastic cover, plastic granules are first melted. After that, they spread the molten plastic material in different diameters on a flat surface. In the last step, these covers are cut in the desired dimensions.

Drum assembly: in the assembly stage, the produced parts are connected to each other, the prepared plastic cover is attached to the drum body. The plastic drum head is also connected to the drum body, then the rollers and bearings are installed on the body.

Testing and inspection: After completing the production process of Serote drum, the plastic cover of the structure is tested for leakage, strength and standard. The said items are checked one by one to ensure the health of the drama. They also inspect the drum in terms of appearance quality.

Design principles of plastic cover drum

In the design of any piece or instrument, including drums, principles and rules should be considered. The design of the plastic coating roller drum should be done according to various requirements and standards. Some of the key rules and requirements used in the design of these types of drums include the following.

  Selection of raw materials

The thickness of the plastic coating

Dimensions of the drum

Open capacity and standards

Selection of raw materials

Choosing the right raw materials has a significant impact on the final production and the environment. The primary material used to produce the various components of the drum, including bearings, rollers, body and cover material, should be selected according to the type of material you intend to transport. Plastic (HDPE, PP, PVC) and metal (steel, aluminum) are among these examples.
