Aspects of Selecting Appropriate Conveyor Belt Strength

Breaks in the so-called “continuous” (unspliced) belt sections, and not spliced areas, are infrequent but do happen practice. This article presents some aspects, which may account for such breaks conveyor belts. It indicates “sensitive points” design, especially transition section of identifying actual strength belt. The presented results include influence width a specimen on identified tensile strength. An increase entails decrease research involved develops universal theoretical model troughed which, case steel-cord belts, is composed cords layers rubber, textile belt, narrow strips. also describes geometrical forces an illustrative analysis loads acting Attention was devoted to type non-uniform character conveyor. A replacement with having different elastic properties non-uniformity conveyor, even by 100%.
