Re: Conveyor Velocity
Dear Vinicius,
What is your definition of high velocity and is it a belt conveyor?
There are conveyors that run at, by some standards, high speed:
1. Selby Incline ...................... 8.4 m/s installed in 1980's
2. Lachammer Coal Pit ........... 10.0 m/s cross pit conveyor 1990's
3. Kaltim Prima Coal .............. ~ 8 m/s 13 km overland 2003?
4. South Africa (power strip) .. to 12 m/s, normal 7 m/s pwr plant
5. Many in Europe and Austria > 7 m/s coal and bauxite
I am not aware of any high speed study report. There are many factors that require engineering analysis including vibration problems, power consumption due to encroaching on the rubbe'rs glass transition zone ( appearance of cold weather behavior). ■
Re: Conveyor Velocity
Dear Mr. Nordell,
Thank you very much for your interest and attention.
The velocity is about 8 m/s and I´m talking about conveyor belts for iron ore.
Best Regards,

Conveyor velocity
Dear Sirs,
I would like to know where I could find a complete study about the effects of the high conveyor velocity in the equipment.
I need to quantify these effects in every part of the system - including conveyor life time reduction - and be able to make a viability analysis.
Thank you! ■
