What should be considered when choosing a belt conveyor?
Material type, particle size, density and moisture, required capacity, conveying distance, lift height and site conditions should all be considered.
How is belt width determined?
Belt width is selected according to maximum material size, desired capacity and belt speed. A wider belt can handle larger volume and bigger particles.
How is belt speed selected?
Speed depends on material characteristics, required capacity and conveyor type. Fine or fragile materials usually require moderate speeds, while aggregates and ores can use higher speeds.
What should be evaluated for long-distance conveyors?
Belt strength, drive configuration, take-up system, horizontal and vertical curves, and the possible use of intermediate drives should be evaluated.
How are special materials handled?
Hot, corrosive, sticky or high-moisture materials require special belts and components, as well as suitable cleaners and liners.
What information is needed for a technical recommendation?
Material name, particle size, density, moisture, capacity, horizontal length, lift height and site environmental conditions.
