Predicting and Preventing Wear in Pipe Bends – Basic Information for choosing a cost-effective Wear Protection Solution

There are many means of providing wear protection for bends and straight sections in pneumatic conveying systems, but they can be very costly or severely increase the energy consumption, or limit its throughput, if applied too liberally. Hence it is very important to choose carefully the right means…read more

The Importance of Non-linear Strain Considerations in Belt Conveyor Indentation Loss

Energy loss due to rolling resistance of rubber belts is a major factor in conveyor design and its determination is dependent on the properties of the rubber compound of the belt backing. Vulcanised, carbon black-filled backing compounds typically exhibit the so-called Payne effect, where, under cyc…read more
