Substantiation of parameters of high-capacity sandwich-belt high-angle conveyors for deep open pits
E.E. Sheshko
The author addresses the issues of substantiation of design and operation parameters of sandwich-belt high-angle conveyors. It is proved that the performed studies have made possible the elimination of problems of the conveyor capacity enhancement with the same belt width and speed; selection of the radius of the conveyor transition sections; distribution of loads between the conveyor load-carrying and pressure belts, minimization of the belt relative slip by load. These gains have been translated into recommendations on the selection of the conveyor parameters for different operation conditions.
