    FAQ

    What information helps define a conveyor project?

    Notes: If you need a belt conveyor solution, please be sure to first confirm the following information; wherever possible, provide relevant parameters, and leave any missing parameters blank.

    📐 Conveyor Operating Conditions and Layout Parameters

    • Capacity: Annual capacity for material transportation,expressed in tons per h or tons per year; t/h Or t/y;
    • Length and horizontal conveyor distance: the distance between the axes of the head and tail rollers; if this exceeds 150 m, intermediate drive must be considered.
      M;
    • Lift height or inclination angle: When the inclination angle exceeds 12°, a check valve is required for upward transport; when it exceeds 18°, a ribbed belt or skirt baffle may be necessary.
      M or Degree;
    • Conveyance route: horizontal, uphill, downhill, or turning; whether there are convex or concave arc sections.(If you have a topographic map, you can provide it)

    📋 Material Parameters

    • Material name and properties: Is it bulk material (coal, sand, gravel, grain) or unitized cargo (cardboard boxes, pallets)? Does it possess corrosive, adhesive, or flammable/explosive properties?
    • Loose density: Directly affects the calculated conveying capacity and motor power.
      kg/m³.
    • Maximum grain size/block size: Determines the lower limit of bandwidth; for example, with a bandwidth of 500 mm, the maximum block size is approximately 150 mm, while with a bandwidth of 1,000 mm, it can reach 300 mm.
    • Moisture content and temperature: These have the greatest influence on the maximum inclination angle; for standard tape, when the moisture content is ≤7%, the upper limit is approximately 18°.

    📄 Environmental and Standard Documentation

    • Working environment: indoor and outdoor, temperature range, dust explosion protection class (e.g., for coal powder workshops, Ex d IIB T4 Gb), and coastal corrosion class.
      The max temperature is ℃, The mini temperature is ℃ ;
    • Power supply conditions: Whether it is 220V single-phase or 380V three-phase affects the selection of the motor.
    • Relevant standards: such as GB/T 10595-2025 "Belt Conveyors," DTII (Type A) Belt Conveyor Design Manual, CEMA, GIS, etc. (Can national standard materials be used, or can they be replaced with equivalent designs?)

    ⚙️ Structure and Selection Parameters

    • Bandwidth: Standard series sizes include 500,650,800,1000,1200,1400 mm, etc., which are jointly determined by the material block size and conveying capacity.(If applicable)
    • Conveyor speed: For bulk materials, typically 0.8–2.0 m/s; at port container terminals, it can reach 2.5–4.0 m/s.(If have)
    • Motor power: Calculated based on the conveying capacity, length, and lifting height; it must accommodate full-load start-up conditions.(If have)
    • Drive method: electric drum, motor + reducer, variable-frequency drive, etc.; these are affected by installation space and power capacity.(If have)
    • Idler arrangement: groove angle (standard 35°), diameter (89–159 mm), spacing (approximately 1–1.2 m for upper idlers and approximately 3 m for lower idlers).
      (If have)
    • Tensioning method: spiral, counterweight, or hydraulic; the tensioning stroke should be calculated based on the tape elongation.(If have)
