A Belt Conveyor Transport 18 Tonnes 2

The document provides information about calculating the design of a belt conveyor system that transports 18 tonnes/hr of coal at a 20 degree angle. It gives the key parameters of the conveyor system including a belt speed of 61 m/min, a required rise of 33.5m, and power from a 1750 rpm motor. It also includes tables with guidelines for selecting the minimum pulley diameter, belt width, and carrier spacing based on the weight of the material. The document uses these tables to calculate a recommended belt width of 35.6cm and a total belt length of 197.95m for the system described.
