Maximun Angle For Soybeam Conveying
Can anybody recomend maximun angle for a soybeam belt conveyer of 600 T/hr? Soybeam 750 kg/m3. We need 12º aprox., some literature says 14º, is it trustworthy? Also maximun angle for the belt conveyer in the feeding zone. We are in the pre-design phase, and a minor angle woulf imply eleveting weighing scale and elevator that come before. We need aproximately 54 m to reach the desire hight for a street crossing, then it would be horizontal. Thanks ■
Re: Maximun Angle For Soybeam Conveying
Hello,
I presume you are conveying soyabeans whole. Some of the published manuals / literature mentions following inclination for trough belt conveyor with regular belt:
Dunlop U. K., upto: 14 degree.
Cema, upto: 12 to 16 degree.
IS, upto: 12 to 16 degree.
ContiTech Germany mentions permissible inclination could be upto 5 degree higher by using rough top belt. My suggestion is to consider this value 25% more than the aforesaid value (5 degree increase could be okay if surcharge angle is 20 degree for usual minerals like coal, limestone, ores, etc.). The said 25% will adjust the increase in value in relation to the surcharge angle and repose angle. You may refer to the equipment manufacturer or plant users concerned with soyabeans for more specific experience by them.
Regarding inclination at the feed end roughly you can take it half of the allowable inclination. Actually it shoud be specifically analysed for material grip on belt, inclination, acceleration and necessary length for material to acquire belt velocity.

Re: Maximun Angle For Soybeam Conveying
Ishwar: thank you very much
What do you mean by soybeams whole?
The values you are talking are very much similar to what I found in some literature, Kauman recomends 14º. At this stage of the design, an apropiate idea is necesary because this conditions the hight of equipment (weighing scale, elevators,) prior to the belt conveyer; detail engineering afterwards must define exact values and dimensions. We have also consulted plant users and they are using conveyors with up to 15º and say maximun could be up to 17º for soybeam. Regarding the angle at the entrance, we are considering about 8º, but also I think the chute angle must be considered, considering all the issues you mention for the falling grain at the entrance of the conveyor. Your information is greatly apreciated. ■
Maximun Inflection Angle For A Soilbeam Belt Conveyor
Could some one tell what is the maximun inflection angle in a soybeam belt conveyor, upwards and downwards. ■

adesito
I moved your new post into your original thread.
Please keep related topic in the same thread as it will be easier for members to help you out when all the information is available in one thread. That way they do not need to repeat the info that others have already given you.
Thank you.

Maximun Angle for Soybeam Conveying
Can anyone recomend the maximun angle for a soybeam 750 kg/m3 belt conveyer 600 T/hr? I have found in some places that is 14º, actually we will about 12º. Also what could be the maximun angle at the feeding area. We are in the pre-design phase of the whole system, and a bigger angle would imply elevating the weighing scale and elevator to it. We need this angle to elevate the conveyor for a street crossing, aproximately 54 m, after that it comes horizontal. Thanks. ■
