I designed one 7km long pipe belt conveyor.

Please give me the suggest.

1. Is the horizontal curve with 72 angle ok?

2. Are the drive-units reasonable?

Technical parameter Table:

1.Material name Limestone

2.Material size 75mm.

3.Material Density 1.44t/m.

4.Load 850t/h.

5. speed 3.15m/s.

6. length 7042m.

7. angle -19~20.

8. pipe 350mm.

9.belt width 1350mm.

10. St2500(8+6)

11.head motor 2x560kw.

12. tail motor 2x560kw.

Is It Ok?

Hi long650101,

For me the numbers look OK - but without any deeper assessment.

1 - Ask the equipment Vendor for a calculation.

2 - You are investing a lot of money. I would go to a Professional Conveyor Design Consultant, and ask him to check the calculation. It may cost you say $3.000 AUD, but you would have the advantage of sound advice, and you will be able to sleep at night.

Great, now build it and then come back and tell us your experiences.

Reasonable ? No.

Asside from missing many critical details, I say your client is spending more and getting less for his money.

I doubt you will be sending the forum details of this, after you push the buttons. Have you ever heard of cork-screwing?

Your design is identical to KOCH - Cementos Lima pipe.

If you are talking about this project, then, the designer(s) are doing something quite unique and nobody can help.

Nobody knows the real power required to fold and pull the ST2500 during the first start.

I do not know what it takes but I would cool down the VFD my friend!
