Belt Turnover

Posted in: , on 23. Jul. 2021 - 15:57

Dear all,

First of all , my sincere thanks to all the respected members here for their valuable time and advise/ guidance I have received from time to time.

I´m studying a solution to install two side turnovers in a dual carry Pipe conveyor.

The main characteristic of this conveyor are:

Lenght: 5500 m

Wide: 2100 mm

Belt type: ST 3150

Bulk transported: Coke / Ash

Transport rate: 2000 t/h (Design- 2200 t/h)

However, I know there are two methods of installing a turnover:

1. Conventional method with no. of guide pulleys with varying angle as shown below link:

https://conveyorbeltguide.com/belt-turnover.html

2. Combination of C type of guide frame and rollers as shown in the below link:

What is the better solution amongst these two to do the turnover to this Pipe belt conveyor?

Is it advisable to use C type of frame for such heavy duty steel cord belts to reduce the number of pulleys in the system?

Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions.

Dear Mr.Joy,

I have not worked on C type belt flip over. But from the photos in the link, I think that the belt needs to be folded less than the troughing angle of the belt. I feel that it may harm the belt, especially the splice joints. Will it work, if the belt has clamps ( clips ) ?. This is my view. Hope you may do further research and proceed.
