PREFACE The belt conveyor system is the most convenient and economical means of transporting materials in bulk. As the conveyor belt alone takes up 15~S0% of the total cost of the belt conveyor, great attention must be paid to the design and selection of the conveyor belt, so that it will be perfectly suited to its task and be as economical as possible in operation, If excessive emphasis is placed on safety measures, the conveyor will not only rise considerably in cost, it will also fall to justify this higher cost in terms of performance. On the other hand, if 190 much emphasis is placed on economy, there is the danger of shortening the life of the conveyor belt. +1, Typical Belt Conveyor Arrangements Feed etute Loading skies \Js = Eh sna L Consequently, it is most important that the design and selection of @ suitable belt arrangement be studied and scrutinized from every angle. And the basis for achieving an ideal design is 2 thorough knowledge of belt conveyor design methods. With this in mind we hhave produced the Bridgestone Conveyor Belt Design Manual ‘This manual explains, step by step and in simple terms, the conveyor belt design concepts adopted by Bridgestone Tire Company. We hope that our customers will find it a useful toot in the design and selection of conveyor belts that are perfectly suited to their needs.

Transport Material Size and Minimum Belt Width ‘The width of the conveyor belt varies in accordance with the transportation capacity of the conveyors as well as the lump sizes of the materials io be tcans- ported. ‘This means that if the lump sizes of the materials to be transported are large, the belt width must be pro- portionally wider, and vice versa Table 1 shows the minimum widths of belts for specific lump sizes of materials (0 be transported. Column A indicates lumps of approximately uniform size and Column B indicates lumps of mixed sizes. In B, belt widths have been calculated on the assumption that maximum lump sizes make up no mote than 10% of the whole.

Angle of Inciine or Decline of Belt Conveyor ‘The angle of incline or decline is governed by the characteristics ané shapes of the materials to be trans- ported, For example, 2 comparatively steep slope can be safely adopted for transporting granular and other such stable materials, whereas 2 gentler slope is prefer- able for transporting unstable materials such as coal. ‘The maximum permissible angles of incline or decline for transporting materials of different characteristics and shapes on smooth-surfaced conveyor belts are given in Table 2. Note the folowing points: 1, When a weigher is used, it is preferable for the incline/decline angle to be limited to less than 18°, regardless of the figures given in Table 2 2. When conditions at the site of installation or other factors make it impossible to Keep within the maxi- ‘mum allowable incline/decline angle value, 2 rough top, leated or finned conveyor belt should be employed 3. The incline/decline angle values given in Tuble 2 apply to operation under conditions where the belt surface is maintained in a comparatively clean con- ition. If the surface is wet or dirty, incline/dectine angles should be reduced by 2~5° from the given values. -u- rata | | TABLE 2.

Belt Speed ‘The speed of the belt is limited aot only by the tans port capacity of the conveyor, but also by the belt width and the characteristics of the materials carried It is most economical to use a narrow belt at high speeds, but generally it is easier to operate wide belts at high speeds than narrow belts. Tables 3 and 4 give the maximum belt speeds in relation to specific transport materials and belt widths respec. tively. TABLE 3.

Belt Safety Factors Analysis of the essential factors involved in the safety factor of a conveyor belt is very complex. However, generally speaking, the safety factor of @ belt cen be obtained by calculating the maximum tension during transportation under normal load. ‘The safety factor which determines the carcass of a belt is based on past operating experience plus con- sideration of the kind of materials to be transported, lump size, time cycle, etc., the values generally accept- able being between 6.7 ~ 20. 534, Classification of Safety Factors ‘The safety factors of a conveyor belt are classified as follows: a) Primary Safety Factor (SF,) ‘The belt safety factor during transportation under normal load. -=T Steel belts SF) = EE Fabric belt: SF, = 2S Fmex Where m —: Number of steel cords T —; Guaranteed tensile strength of steel cord (xafeors) n Number of plies TS: Guaranteed tensile strength of fabric Ckslem-p) Fmax : Maximum belt tension under normal load (a) b) Tertiary Safety Factor (SF;) This factor is that of the total load, taking into con- sideration starting, braking and bending tensions. The tertiary safety factor is applied to steel belts of high tensile strength and the calculation formula is as follows: mT een ‘Fmax + Fs + Fb Where m+ Number of steel cords T —: Guaranteed tensile strength of steel cord (xalcord) Fs Starting or braking tension (ke) Fb: Bending tension (ks) Fmax : Maximum tension when operating under normal load (ka) 4 : Fo = -E-ALN Where 4: Diameter of steel cord filament (mm) E : Elastic modulus (Young's modulus) (xa/mm?) ‘A: Actual cross-sectional area of steel cord (cum?)

Determining the Thickness of the Rubber Cover It is difficult to give 2 precise method for determining the thickness of the rubber cover of a conveyor belt because there are so many factors to be taken into account, including the type and lump size of the mate- rial to be transported, the time cycle, the system of feeding the belt, the height of the chute, ané whether the system includes a screper. Tables 322 and b ghe standard figures, taking imo account the principle factors. 5-4-1, Thickness of Top Rubber Cover TABLE323, Standard Figures for Steet Cord Belt Tie ‘Gis | uncer | 10~ | over May\. boa To" | too | $05 fa NS SEH PHIEEE See eePreEEL Eee A HST PAECrICEE Eee [EEE Seopa eee SEERA ECE een 2 u Fara ee T (ee 3 aE ee ee c i zo t a Notes: 2 Limp Sue S°_ Small (Under SOmm) Ms Medion (S0mim 150m) LE Lage (Over 15001) 1) Rubber Cover 1: Under ST.2000 SS Over 72000 6mm 2 60" 63mm 3 60-80mm 4 10~ 90mm €) Materials Categories ate given afler Table 325, Note 8.

Determining the Thickness of the Bottom Rubber Cover There is a general tendency for the bottom rubber cover to be given too little attention. In fact, it is most important for the bottom rubber cover to be of adequate thickness, taking into consideration the pulley, ccarier idler and return idler slippage, accidental tears ‘and bites and operation under unfavourable conditions. Generally, the thickness of the bottom rubber cover should be between 30 ~ 70% of the thickness of the top rubber cover. In the case of steel cord conveyor belts, the thickness of the bottom mibber cover must be 4mm minimum, the standard thickness being 60 ~ 100% of the top nibber cover. ‘The final decision is made by taking the values above as standard and considering any other special factors such as the conditions under which the conveyor is to be operated. As an additional precaution, the Ginel evaluation can be adjusted, when necessary, by adding oor subtracting 1 ~ 2mm, ‘The thickness of the bottom rubber cover for special type conveyor belts, such as heat-resistant, oil-resistant, rough top and cleated conveyor belts requires special consideration. 55.

When the length of the conveyor belt is less than 50 meters, it may be shipped without a drum, being just rolled and packed. 4, The outside diameter of the érum core is normally set at 2 minimum of 0.3 meters. However, smaller cores may be possible, depending on the stiffness of the belt S. The width of the drum may be adjusted slightly to suit the weight of the belt. 57-2, Drum Markings () Address of Customer (2) Name of Customer (3) Belt Size and Length Note: Shipping and other special marks will be applied as per customers’ instructions. 62 -6, BELT CONVEYOR DESIGN Design of the component parts of a belt conveyor is mainly determined by the manufacturer, working in close cooperation with the customer. However, in order for tie conveyor and belt t0 be perfectly suited to one another — and to extend ser- viceabiity — we strongly recommend that the belt manufacturer Is involved in the total design of the conveyor and its component parts. Bridgestone's basic design concepts and values in rela- tion to belt conveyor design are appended here. We hope you will use them as 2 reference. 6-1, Determination of Pulley 64-41, Steel Cord Belt Select the value of D from the Isigest of the values obtained from the following, Dy, Ds and Ds.
