Investigation of The Dynamic Deflection of Conveyor Belts Via Simulation Modelling Methods on Idler Factor

Abstract Belt conveyor is today’s very important mechanism in material handling industries and most commonly used to transport bulk materials such as grain, salt, coal sand. deflection indicates belt loosening. It occurs between the idler roll sets due self-weight of forces from material. This paper includes detailed analysis under pragmatic load conditions. The aim project develop a Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation model for using data calculated by coupled Discrete (DEM) simulation. scope this on aspects. Two types three-trough idlers were which made steel plastic respectively. A variety spacing determine efficient configuration belt. will explain FEM procedures modelling behavior working principle FEM-DEM analysis. Experimental results presented compared based parameters. Comparisons showed idler-rollers with smaller gap better than rest it could be optimized improve performance efficiency.
