Coal transfer underground coal mining conveyor belt

A Coal feeder conveyor belt is used for moving materials from one point to another. A conveyor system is particularly important when handling bulky, heavy and fragile materials. The conveyor systems are largely dependent on for their high reliability with a simple design which is easy to maintain. Conveyor systems offer quick, safe, and efficient transportation of materials making them very popular in packaging industries. The transportation time of the steel cord conveyor belt is shortened by the conveyor system. There are different conveyor systems for different industries and different transportation needs.  There are different parts which make a conveyor including long belt idlers, pulleys, electric drives and a long belt. The design stage is important because it is a solution of the voluminous material and the maintenance.

Things that are considered in a conveyor belt systems design include

• Conveyor capacity
• Belt speed
• Conveyor height
• Conveyor length
• Mass of a set of idlers
• Idler spacing
• Inclination angle of the conveyor
• Coefficient of friction
• Start-up factor
• Driver efficiency
• Friction factor
• Breaking strength loss factor

A belt conveyor is the carrying medium of a belt conveyor system (often shortened to belt conveyor). A belt conveyor system is one of many types of conveyor systems. A belt conveyor system consists of two or more pulleys (sometimes referred to as drums), with an endless loop of carrying medium-the conveyor belt-that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler pulley.
