5000' CONVEYOR SYSTEM, ALONG MISSISSIPPI RIVER

Use of Copter saves 70% of erection cost during Installation of conveyors!
FEECO INTERNATIONAL, INC., the designer, the manufacturer and Project Managers of a multi-million dollar
material handling system at Blytheville, Arkansas and their contractors were faced with the fact that approximately 2200 feet of conveyor had to be installed over the swampy area at the job-site between the
Mississippi River and the main plant.
Because of the special conditions, an intensive study was made of the time and installation costs involved, both
important factors on a project of this magnitude. Vital to being willing to explore more sophisticated methods of
equipment erection, the idea was triggered to use a helicopter for the erection of conveyors in the areas under
question. The erection program was planned, coordinated and scheduled to have 2200 feet of conveyor sections completely assembled with trusses, idlers and material protection covers in 60 foot lengths, and approximately 3300 pounds each.
Tot~1 manp~~er for this part of the material handling systems erection included: the helicopter pilot with two
radl~ technl~l~ns, one at ground level and one at the point of installation; two men at the ground level for connecting the lifting cables to the conveying system sections; three men at the receiving end along the erection
area and one supervisor.
Fro~. a labor viewpoint it is estimated that at least double the manpower would have had to be employed and in
addition cranes, crawlers and other mobile equipment would have had to be engaged. Overall, an estimated
70% of normal cost was saved by the use of the airlift method described above.
The above erected conveying system is only part of a major material handling system including approximately
5000 f~et of conveyor~, a. 30,00.0 ton capacity storage building, a screening tower completely equipped with
screening sys~ems , weighing units, delumpers and reclaim equipment, a loading shelter with loadout sytems to
trucks and railroad cars and conveying systems for barge loading at the Mississippi River loading docks.

STEEP INCLINE
FEECO International's steep incline conveyor
permits the transport of bulk material at inclines
ranging from 18 to 90. Material applications
include coal fines, fertilizer, wood chips,
chemicals, assembly parts, scrap material and
many other bulk materials. The advantages of
this unique design include ...
REDUCED MATERIAL DEGRADATION
Through "L' and "S" shape designs, transfer points
are eliminated allowing smooth continuous conveying.
REDUCED SPILLAGE
Corrugated sidewalls which contains the material
reduces spillage along conveyor path and loading
points.
LESS SPACE REQUIREMENTS
1
BELTING DESIGN
The steep incline conveyor uses a flexible
corrugated sidewall belting which contains
the material and permits loose material
such as fertilizer, coal fines, chemicals,
assembly parts, scrap materials, grain,
sludge, and other bulk materials to be
conveyed without spilling. A choice of
cleated belting is available which prevents
fall back of the material when conveying at
steep inclined angles up to 90.
MATERIAL TRANSFER
Steeper geometric options of the steep incline

conveyor reduces the length requirements compared
to conventional conveyors which eliminates wasted
space.
Loading points remain clean with custom

designed inlet hoppers which maximize
loading capacity for straight incline,
horizontal, "L', and "S" shape
configurations. Turning wheel assemblies
are incorporated to direct belting up the
desired incline. Fully enclosed systems are
available to protect material and reduce
dust. Due to this unique all-in-one design,
transfer points are eliminated preventing
product degradation and spillage and allows
for smooth continuous conveying of the
material.
LONGER BELT LIFE

Belt abrasion is curtailed by restricted movement of
material.
CUSTOM DESIGN
FEECO's steep incline conveyors are specifically
designed according to customers requirements, using
top quality components.
FEECO International, Inc. has been designing,

engineering and manufacturing material handling
equipment for over 35 years. Our steep incline

lift to belt and pulleys. Solid steel with flat or
crown face pulleys as well as wing type with or
without lagging may be furnished upon request.

Tail Pulley: SO-611

Shown here is a self cleaning wing type pulley
which is furnished upon request. Normally, a solid
steel with crowned face is furnished as a standard.
Flat face pulleys can also be furnished upon
request.
Takeup:
Shown here is a rugged travel screw takeup to
provide belt tightening. For longer conveyors, the
takeup may be a gravity unit in either the horizontal or vertical position. If gravity takeup is
used, tail pulley is in a fixed position.

HORIZONTAL DISTANCE
For dimensions greater than the limits of the chart, divide the given dimensions by a figure to bring
length within the range of the chart. Multiply the result by the same figure to restore the
proportions. Example: 160 ft. horizontal distance, 52 ft. lift. Dividing by 2 = 80 ft. and 26 ft.
Intersection of vertical line from 80 ft. horizontal distance and horizontal line from 26 ft. lift = length
on incline of 84 ft. at 18 line. Acutal incline conveyor length then is 84 x 2 or 168 ft.

(GENERAL CONFORMITY OF ALL CEMA IDLER MANUFACTURERS)

Normal Spacing--{Troughing and Return Idlers)
See Table below, for recommendations.
Belt Training Idlers--FEECO recommends the

use of one training return idler approximately
12 to 15 belt widths before the tailor takeup pulley. Also place training idlers at
approximately 100 foot intervals on the
troughing and return runs.
Loading Point--{Impact Idlers)--Normally, one

half the troughing idler spacing is recommended.
For fine materials, place the idlers as close
together as possible.
Convex or Concave Curves consult engineering
department for arrangement and spacing.

With the information given in Tables 1 to 5 inclusive, the

total horsepower required can be determined.
Table No.3 gives the additional H.P. required to drive tripper,

but as no tripper would be required on the conveyor, we are
considering this figure is omitted .
Example:
centers, a
Conveyor
idlers and
By adding the horsepowers determined from Tables 1, 2 and 4

we get an effeotive H.P. of 14.7.
Assume a 24" belt conveyor with 300 horizontal

40 foot rise and a belt speed of 400 feet per minute.
to handle 195 tons of coal per hour. Anti-friction
terminal bearings to be used throughout.
Table No. 1 shows that we will require 1.0 H .P . for each 100
feet per minute belt speed to drive empty conveyor, or a total
of 4.0 H.P. for a conveyor traveling 400 F.P.M.
Table No. 2 we find that approximately 2.7 H.P. will be required to convey 195 tons over a horizontal distance of 300
feet.
Table No. 4 shows that approximately 8 H.P. is required to
elevate 195 T.P.H. of material 40 feet.
Table No. 5 gives the additional horsepower required for the

power less in various types of drives. Assume the conveyor
we have under consideration is driven by a helical gear reducer
and roller chain drive. We would then have to add 10% of
the effective H.P. to take care of the power loss, or 1.5 H.P.
This would give us a motor H .P. of 16.2 in which case we
would recommend a 20 H .P. motor.
Where conveyor is to be started under load, a high starting
t.oraue motor should be used.
