Can you help me to find a formula for the calculation of a belt conveyor?please

There's more to designing a belt conveyor than stuffing numbers in a formula.

Just go to the CEMA web site and search for their design guide.

THEN JUST BUY IT! ■

Dear Maxim,

Use the attachment of the mentioned thread and change the parameters until you get the required general dimensions.

The technical design is another task and needs knowledge and extensive experience.

Ask for a quotation of known and proven vendors.

Try;

Band width 1100 mm

Freeboard 190 mm

c = bottom roller = 350 mm

rest as from your own specification

success

Dear Maxim,

First of all, a belt conveyor is a volume transporting device.

The rate is calculated as : Volume = cross-section x velocity.

The conveyed mass is then known by multiplying the volume rate by the density.

You can change the spreadsheet calculation, where the only factor is mass flow.

Then you must limit yourself to fixed dimension ratios of the belt- and roller configuration.

In the end, the calculations are the same.

Have a nice day

1) listen to what Teus has told you, bulk materials handling machines are SIZED on their volumetric capacity - m3/hr

2) having established the machine size the power requirement is based on their gravimetric capacity - te/hr

3) the relationship between the two capacities is the material density te/m3

Now, have you ordered that book I referred you to?

If not, WHY NOT!! DO IT NOW!!! ■
