System design result

Posted in: , on 23. Oct. 2008 - 00:08

I design the following system:

Mass: 2500 tonne/day

belt velocity: 1.75 m/sec

width: 500 mm.

distance 1 km.

total tension: 1960 lb

power: 0.34 HP

This is the first system that I design, but Im not very sure about that power, I was expecting a something a little higher for such a distance.

Regards ■

I think that at the moment designing a belt conveyor is beyond your capabilities.

Rather than keep asking questions here buy the CEMA publication "BELT CONVEYORS FOR BULK MATERIALS", read it, understand it then start designing belt conveyors.

I would also suggest something more modest to start with than a 1km long machine. ■

It is a puzzle how you came to know so much from so little.

I agree with Designer's wise words.

Guessing at all information not given you might need 10 kW with a belt peak running tension = 6.5 kN. ■
