Power Plant Belt Conveyor
A Southeastern Ohio power plant is supplied steam coal directly from a mine by a series of 18 belt conveyors, spanning a distance of 5 miles at the rate of 1,200 tons/hr. One 2,000′ conveyor had been troublesome almost since it had been installed. The demand horsepower is less when the conveyor is loaded (30bhp) [...]
Mine conveyor problem solver
A West Virginia mine required mine required a 14,000 foot belt conveyor system from a longwall face to the surface. The customer wanted to utilize one continuous belt conveyor to eliminate all the transfer points and to standardize on 150 horsepower motors. This meant it would require five motors to power this particular conveyor. Using [...]
Determining Idler Spacing
SPACING OF IDLERS Normal Spacing (Carrying and Return Idlers) – See Table 10 for recommendations. Terminals – Distance between nearest standard carrying idler and pulley. Loading Point (Impact Idlers) – Normally, one-half the carrying idler spacing is recommended. For fine materials, place the idlers as close together as possible. Convex Curves – One-half of normal [...]
