Analysis & Prospects of Modification in Belt Conveyors - A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Now a day’s Belt conveyor system not only used in mining industries but also applied in cement industries, power plant, food industries, production industries etc. So it is essential equipment for in house material transportation today. The paper presents the review of belt conveyor design modification and latest technologies or methodologies used in different applications to reduce failures, maintenance cost and equipment related fatal accidents occurs during operation. The focus is on methodologies as Design modification, Drum and pulley failures, Belt design and its failure, energy & efficiency, friction, inspection, operation & maintenance and fire & safety. The analysis shows, different design parameters required for different applications such as coal mines, cement and food industries. Some of the common design parameters required in each application and the importance of each parameter which impacts on different application. Keywords— Belt Conveyor, Design Modification, Failures, Maintenance, pulley.

Belt Vs Chain-slat Bagasse Conveyors for Boiler Feeding
There has been much debate as to the relative merits of belt conveyors with ploughs vs. chain-slat conveyors with gates for this application. There are experienced engineers in strong support of each alternative. In many cases, the strength of the support for one type is due to bad experience with a poorly designed or under-capacity conveyor of the other. Unfortunately, the majority of conveyor...
متن کاملBelt Conveyor Dynamics in Transient Operation for Speed Control
Abstract—Belt conveyors play an important role in continuous dry bulk material transport, especially at the mining industry. Speed control is expected to reduce the energy consumption of belt conveyors. Transient operation is the operation of increasing or decreasing conveyor speed for speed control. According to literature review, current research rarely takes the conveyor dynamics in transien...
