Advantages of Garlands
The idler garlands have numerous significant advantages compared to the fixed idler stations. The most important advantages of the garlands result from their properties:
Property of the idler garlands | The following advantages |
Possibility of fast and uncomplicated lowering of individual garlands during operation upon discovery of a defect in the idlers (eg. with hot runners) |
| Adaptive geometry of the festoons |
|
Belt lifting for idler change not necessary |
|
No stations (steel frames to hold the idlers) necessary as a rule, simpler steel girder geometry |
|
However, there are of course certain disadvantages or limits to the useful application that apply to the use of garlands.
So the garlands can lead to increase in running resistance and wear when the conveyor is inclined (for example, in vertical curves). Therefore, the garlands should not be installed, or not without appropriate countermeasures, in such gates of the conveyor.
Also with the smaller belt widths, the use of the garlands is worth rather little: here you would need additional aids for the garland change, while the insert rollers still have relatively handy sizes and weights and can therefore be changed with relatively little effort.
