Hello Mahendirar..

The procedure is generally to select a belt speed say 2 to 3.5m/sec for in plant and 3.85 to 5m/sec for normal overlands, and select the belt width, using the useful cross-sectional area.

The capacity Q in m^3/sec = Area x Velocity. Apply an appropriate factor on top of this, so that you don't cause spillage, if the feed is not iniform.

It then becomes a choice of idler configuration, e.g. 3 roll or 5 roll, 35 degree or 45 degree. (Use 4 roll for carrying round type material at varying capacities up an incline. It provides a groove in the middle to concentrate the material and stop spillage)

Select 35 degree 3-roll for most applications up to 1500mm wide belts and 5 roll 45 degree for wider belts.

For overland conveyors you will have to look more closely at the idlers with respect to spacing, shaft size and number of rolls.

Avoid 45 degree 3 roll as they are not good for the belt, especially on off-set rolls in low tension areas.

Hope this is the sort of information that you are looking for

Cheers
