Measurement of a pipe belt conveyor contact forces and cross section deformation by means of the six-point pipe belt stiffness testing device

This paper presents a detailed approach for the calculation of the indentation rolling resistance forces of pipe belt conveyors. The viscoelastic behaviour of the belt’s rubber is modelled as a threedimensional generalized model with multiple Maxwell parameters incorporated with a Winkler foundation. The step by step calculation of the indentation rolling resistance factor is provided in this paper. Attention is also paid to the determination of the normal contact forces as concentrated load forces, exerted on each roll of an idler set. Load forces depend on the mass of the transported material, the filling ratio of the pipe, and the mass and stiffness of the belt.

Energy consumption of pipe belt conveyors: Indentation rolling resistance

Review of the troughability test ISO 703 for quantifying a uniform transverse bending stiffness for conveyor belts

Shape stability of pipe belt conveyors: From throughability to pipe-ability

Pipe conveyors are becoming more and more popular as a continuous transport mode for the transportation of dry bulk solid materials. In particular in India and China pipe conveyors are popular. One major drawback in the design of pipe conveyors is the fact that there are still no good design codes or standards for pipe conveyors. Over the last couple of years a lot of work has been done to gain detailed insight in the three major design issues for pipe conveyors: the belt's indentation rolling resistance, the belt's pipe forming capacity, and the belt's tendency to rotate. This paper will identify design aspects that can help to select the right pipe conveyor belting properties for specific applications.
