Research About The Static Design Of Belt Conveyors With Curves

With belt conveyor being developed towards high speed, long distance, large carrying capacity and large driving power in the continue transports, more and more importance is attached to the research of belt conveyor curves. In the recent years, the part research theories of belt conveyor curve have been updated periodically, however the complete research of that has not kept up with the development. Basing on the existing researches, this paper discusses the static design theory of belt conveyor curves roundly from plane curves to space curves. Especially in the horizontal curves, considering based on the whole belt, updates the theory formulas and makes it more closer to the practice.
