Trang 3Terminology
Trang 4Design Considerations (1/5)
Belt joint shall be vulcanized
Trough angle shall not be less than 30°
Belt speed:
The maximum belt speed shall not exceed 2.0 m/s
Conveyors handling dry fine material (i.e cement) shall not exceed 1.25 m/s
Belt speed for conveyors less than 50 meters in length shall not exceed 1.5 m/s
Conveyors longer than 500 m can operate above 2 m/s (Overland Conveyors).
Trough belt width shall not be less than 800 mm For special applications 650 mm belts may be used
Trang 5 The minimum distance between the center
of the tail end pulley and the skirt arrangement shall be larger than 2*belt width As a minimum, the skirt should not start until full troughing of belt has been achieved
All sections other
Fig 2: Inadequate design
Fig 1: Belt transition phase
Trang 6Design Considerations (3/5)
Idlers:
Carrier and return idler shall be designed according to DIN (15207-1 / 22107) or CEMA (Class C or greater)
Carrier and return idler diameter: 100 mm for 650 to 1000
mm belts, 127 mm for belts greater than 1000 mm
Carrier idler spacing shall not exceed 1250 mm for all belt widths
High-density polyethylene impact bars at loading points shall be used Rubber protected impact idlers may be used, with spacing of no more than 300 mm for all belt widths
Return idler spacing shall not exceed 3000 mm for all belt widths
For conveyors handling sticky materials, return idlers shall
be rubber disc rolls or anti-adhesive rubber tubes
Trang 7Design Considerations (4/5)
Pulleys:
All drive pulleys shall have rubber lagging
Tail and take up pulleys: rubber lined or spiral wrapped wing pulleys Wing type pulleys without spiral are not acceptable
Belt tensioning stations:
For belt conveyors less than or equal to 50 m horizontal center distance, screw tensioning shall be used
For belt conveyors over 50 m horizontal center distance, vertical gravity or horizontal gravity shall be used
Trang 8Design Considerations (5/5)
Skirtboards and dust hood:
Wear liners shall be installed to the inside and dust hoods shall not extend less than 2 m from loading point
Skirtboards shall be equipped with adjustable sealing rubber stripes or pads and shall be of the quick release type for easy adjustment

Trang 13Belt Cleaners
Homemade solutions
> in most cases they perform poorly
> can even damage the belt
Trang 14Belt Cleaner_V-Plough
Idlers to keep the belt flat
Flexible pressure to allow permanent contact with the belt surface
Trang 15Belt Conveyor
Material accumulated to the pulley surface
High local stress concentration
Trang 16Skirtboard Seal
Multiple layer seal systems provide best efficiency,
but…
Trang 17Skirtboard Seal
…before installation make sure there is sufficent seal
distance available
Trang 18Belt Conveyor
Sealing blocks, easily adjustable but…
Acceptable as tail seal

> Showed best results Buckets completed blocked
Trang 25Bucket Elevators
Bucket Elevator Casing:
Rubber instead of sheet metall
plates
Trang 27Belt Conveyor
Incorrect design of skirtboard
180 mm
Heavy dust emission in tunnel eventhough dust collectors
and edge sealings are installed
Trang 29Bucket Elevator_Tail pulley
If particles get trapped between the belt and the pulley they
can damage the belt (carcasse & surface) quickly.
> Twin opposed-cone hub with the cones base starting at the centre
> Bars welded to the outer rim
Trang 30Transfer Chute
Feed chute located too close to tail end (no skirtboards in transition section !)

Trang 35Modes of pneumatic conveying
Low solids load ratio
Represent the majority of systems in industry
Conveying at high velocity
Not suitable for erosive and abrasive materials
Medium solids loading ratio High solids load
Conveying at low velocity
Material must be capable of dense phase cov.
Less abrasion
Less pipeline wear
Require less energy
