2. Introduction to conveyor belt
Conveyor belt is used to handle bulk material. It
helps to transport bulk material for long distance. It
can be used over varied terrain particularly for a
wide range of travel paths.
The main elements of the conveyor belt include:
•Belt
•Pulleys
•Idlers
•Drive Unit
•Support structure
3. The aspects of the design
•It helps to determine the conveyor belt capacity
•It is used for determining the maximum belt tension for the conveyor load
•Selection of the belt
•Selection of the driving pulley
•Motor power determination
•Selection of spacing and idlers
4. Selection criteria for the conveyor belt
•The conveyor belts uses rubber covered belts and it is made of
woven carcass with sufficient strength to support the load
•The rubber cover is used to protect the damage
•There are different types of belts based on the applications
oSteel cable belts
oConventional belting
oHeat service belts
5. Factors determining the belt selection
•Belt tension needs
•Speed and length of the conveyor
•Abrasiveness of the materials handled
•The size of the debris and their effect on the cover
•The conveyor loading method
The power requirements for conveyor belt
•Power to activate empty belt
•Power to activate the load horizontally
•Power to activate the load vertically
6. What is idlers and spacing?
•Idlers are used to protect the belt and provide support while
carrying the load
•The idlers spacing on the loaded run is based on the bulk
weight and the belt width.
Benefits of the conveyor belt
•Silent transportation
•Need for restricted manpower
•Accidents are restricted
•Simple arrangements for both loading and unloading
•The loading happens at convenient points
7. Benefits…
•Energy efficiency in high pay load to total load ratio
•Breakdowns are limited
Demerit of the conveyor belt
•Separate arrangement for conveyor belt repair material handling
•Materials that are hot is not transported over conveyor belt
•Vertical transportation of materials not possible on the belt
The conveyor belt needs adequate cleaning and economical construction.
