    This document provides maximum slope angles for conveying various materials using conveyor belts. It lists the material and the maximum recommended slope in degrees, ranging from 10 degrees for logs with no bark to 26 degrees for concrete with a 2 inch slump. It then discusses conveyor capacity calculation, which is determined by speed, belt width, troughing angle, density, cross-sectional area on the belt, and belt velocity.

    Conveying Capacity

    Determining conveyor capacities

    Sponsored Links

    Conveying capacity is determined by speed, belt width and troughing angle and can be expressed as

    Q = ρ A v         (1)

    where

    Q = conveyor capacity (kg/s, lb/s)

    ρ = density (kg/m3, lb/ft3)

    A = cross-sectional area of the bulk solid on the belt (m 2, ft2)

    v = belt velocity (m/s, ft/s)

    The cross-sectional area of the bulk solid on the belt can be expressed as

    A = U b2         (2)

    where

    U = non-dimensional cross-sectional area shape factor


    b = contact perimeter between bulk material and belt (m, ft)

    Non-dimensional cross-sectional area shape factors for various troughing belts are available from manufacture
    n be expressed as
    available from manufacturers' handbooks.
