What is Belt Conveyor?
LSCW
P=
4500
Power Required to Drive a Belt
Conveyor : (continued)
Where ,
L = Length of conveyor , m
S = Speed of the belt , m/min
C = Idler-friction factor
W= Weight of the moving parts/m of
conveyor
Power Required to Drive a Belt
Conveyor : (continued)
Power required to move a load horizontally :
Horse power required to move a load horizontally may
be expressed by ,
LCT
P=
3600
Power Required to Drive a Belt
Conveyor : (continued)
Where ,
L = Length of conveyor , m
C = Idler-friction factor
T = Tons material moved per hour
Power Required to Drive a Belt
Conveyor : (continued)
Power required to move a load up an inclined :
Two components may be calculated from following
relation
i- To move the load horizontally
LCT
P=
3600
Power Required to Drive a Belt
Conveyor : (continued)
ii- Lift the load through the net change in
elevation
TH
P=
3600
Where , T = Material moved in tons/hr
H = Net change in elevation ,m
Belt Capacity :
Strength
Lateral Flexibility
Impact Resistance
Lateral Stiffness
Longitudinal Flexibility
Advantages of Belt Conveyor:
It is capable of handling light or heavy ,fine or coarse
,wet or dry material.
It can handle ,thousands of tons of material per hour
for several kilometers.
It can handle hot materials up to 160˚C or so.
It is lighter in weight and consumes less power.
It operates without noise.
It gives a continuous discharge and quantity of which
can be varied by varying the speed of belt.
It can carry material horizontally or in an inclination
