Transport Performance of a Steeply Situated Belt Conveyor

The paper presents a methodology for determining the volume of batch conveyed material located before transverse partition certain height and distance over which extends on working surface conveyor belt along its longitudinal axis. Knowing geometric dimensions transported makes it possible to appropriately set spacing cleats thereby optimally determine conveying performance inclined conveyor. When angle inclination with straight idler frame is equal surcharge material, then no layer carried belt. If guided trough frame, only lower cross-section filling used. An increase in load at an angle, exceeds repose can be achieved by installing regularly spaced around circumference endless loop retained cleat depends width whether or not provided corrugated side edges. theoretically determined relationships that used size area spread front cleat. experiments performed provide distances distribution depending
