The 5th, 6th, and 7th editions of the Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers’ Association Belt Conveyor Design Manual includes several methods to calculate the belt tension required to move bulk materials on a conveyor belt. They are beyond the scope of this short video. These methods include “historical”, “basic”, and “universal” methods
Calculator Description. Conveyor belts simply refer to the carrying mediums of belt conveyor systems. Conveyor belts are used in production industry and automated warehousing and distribution. For a long time now, the conveyor belts used in many companies and factories have been indispensable
This calculator provides the belt capacity of a conveyor. Enter the required parameters
resistances in the top run and return run, particularly at the head and tail of a belt conveyor system: Bulk material feed • acceleration resistance and frictional resistance between material handled and belt • chute frictional resistance Belt cleaner • scraper resistance Pulleys (not driven) • deflection resistance due to belt bending

Key words: belt conveyor, tension force, carriage, friction coefficient, mechanism, pulley. 1. Introduction Belt conveyors can be used for hoisting rock up surface slopes, drifts for inclinations not greater than 18 . Raghvendra, Arvind, Pratesh [2012], a typical conveyor installation has
Belt Length Calculator (i.e., Belt Cut Length Calculator) Method One: Use when belt's ID, OD, IC, or OC are known. Do NOT use on used belts because they are permanently stretched. Use only to duplicate unused belts. Enter round belt cross-section diameter, V-belt height, or flat belt thickness. Please enter ONE of the following: Inside Diameter
Mar 09, 2006 If I ever need to calculate approximate conveyor power, for example on simple in-plant inclined conveyors, I often do the following simple calculation. Power = t/h x lift x 2.72 x 1.3 kW From this you can easily calculate the torque, if you have the speed and pulley diameter from the following:
Oct 17, 2010 Counterweight calculation. Hi There, I am trying to calculate the take up weight for one conveyor. As I understand, I should check two criteria’s against sizing the take up. 1- Minimum tension in order to build the determined sag in belt conveyor between idlers. 2- Minimum tension required in slack side T2 of the drive in order to prevent the
The first factor to calculate when figuring out conveyor belt tension is the tension needed to move the empty belt, or TC. You'll need to know the weight of the conveyor belt components, or CW, the belt length, or L, and the friction factor for normal empty belt operation, or F1
Jun 07, 2019 J p2 = inertia of idler pulley (provide by manufacturer, or calculate) (kgm 2) J l = inertia of load (kgm 2 ) Although we assumed above that the drive and idler pulleys have the same radius, their inertias may be slightly different, since the drive pulley is toothed and, therefore, has a slightly larger radius and higher mass than the idler pulley
Conveyor motor sizing forms calculate the necessary Torque, Speed, Stopping Accuracy and System Inertia important when selecting a proper motor for the application
5 CONVEYOR PULLEY SELECTION GUIDE Pulley/Core Diameter – The outside diameter of the cylindrical body of a conveyor pulley, without coating. Finish Diameter – The outside diameter of a coated pulley (core diameter + 2 times the coating/wrap thickness). Face Width – The length of a pulley’s cylindrical body.This area is intended to act as the contact surface for the conveyor belt
Level Conveyors: HP=(F x S x (P+M))/33,000 Inclined Conveyors: HP=((P x B)+(P+M)x F x S)/33,000. Effective Tension. Pull needed to move belt and load horizontally: E= F x (P+M) Tight Side Tension. Total tension to move belt and load horizontally: E 2 = E+E 1. Slack Side Tension. Additional tension required to prevent slippage on drive pulley: E 1 =E x K
T1 = Te + T2. This value is required to select a belt. As shown in this video, T1 will occur in the immediate vicinity of the drive pulley in the case of an inclined conveyor with a conveyor drive in the head pulley position. We hope you found this short tutorial useful
Short belt conveyors require relatively more power to overcome the resistance to friction than long ones and therefore an adjustment is made to calculate the effective tension. L C = L + 70 m (metric) L C = L + 230 ft (imperial) Therefore, the belt length correction is: C = L c L
The CEMA Conveyor Design Manual provides this equation to calculate effective belt tension. Te = LKt (Kx + KyWb + 0.015Wb) + Wm(LKy + H) + Tp + Tam + Tac . These parameters enable the designer to calculate belt tension required to overcome: friction; gravity; momentum

Belt Conveyor Capacity Table 1. Determine the surcharge angle of the material. The surcharge angle, on the average, will be 5 degrees to 15 degrees less than the angle of repose. (ex. 27 - 12 = 15 ) 2. Determine the density of the material in pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft3). 3. Choose the idler shape. 4. Select a suitable conveyor belt speed. 5
Belt Conveyor Sizing Calculator. Sorry - there is a problem with the database. We're in the process of rectifying the problem.... (Typically low angle of repose will result in a lower surcharge angle and vice versa.) (Highly cohesive matrls, fine, moist or interlocking, use 5 - 10deg.) (Typical crushed minerals and coal, use 10deg.) (Dry, free flowing fine material, use 10-15deg.)
