A plow discharger (also called a plow tripper) is a mechanical device used in belt conveyor systems to divert bulk materials at specific discharge points without stopping the conveyor.

SKF Solution Express, the mobile technical service platform from global bearing technology leader SKF Group, recently held a productive technical exchange seminar with PK Machinery, focusing on innovative solutions for the mining machinery sector.

On June 5th, PK Machinery held a kick-off meeting for the Safety Production Month. General Manager Zhao Xiaoguang personally deployed the activity plan, requiring all departments to strictly implement the safety production responsibility system with the goal of "zero accidents". A special leading group was established to formulate the "2025 Safety Production Month Implementation Plan" to ensure orderly activities.

1. Insufficient Conveying Capacity of screw conveyor
Possible Causes:
Insufficient motor power or unstable voltage
Severe wear of the screw blade
Uneven feeding or blockage at the inlet
Excessive moisture content in materials causing adhesion

Tripper conveyor is a key mechanism in the belt conveying system. It is mainly used for multi-point unloading along the conveyor line. It can move along the track and accurately unload materials into the designated silos or downstream equipment, and is widely applied in industries such as mines, power plants, ports, cement plants, and grain processing.

1. What is a conveyor belt idler/roller?
An idler (or roller) is a cylindrical component that supports the conveyor belt and the conveyed material. It reduces friction, ensures smooth belt movement, and maintains belt alignment. Idlers are critical for the efficiency and longevity of conveyor systems.
