“…Assuming a consecutive series of conveyor drives operating without interruption, the optimization considered the material handling, speed of the conveyor to improve the production profit. M. S. Masaki et al [34] worked on the multi-drive belt conveyors technology to minimizing life cycle costs. The group considered a case study for an extensive simulation model to improve the economic benefit of the drive conveyors.…”

This article presents the analysis of conveyor drive power requirements for three typical mining conveyors. One of the conveyors was found not to be able to start when fully loaded. The analysis indicates that two of the conveyors are adequately powered while one is underpowered. This was found to be primarily the result of the maximum tonnage of the two adequately powered conveyors being 1500 tonnes per hour (TPH) while the inadequately powered conveyor was classed with a maximum tonnage of 1800 TPH. It is recommended that the current draw for each motor when fully loaded be measured. This will be compared to the design. Further analysis was done to allow 2000 TPH on all conveyors. The required upgraded drive size is presented. This article does not address the structural adequacy of the supporting structure. Rather, only the capabilities of the conveyor belt and drives to transport the required TPH.

“…Belt working life is generally a function of the belt materials, the conveyor design and operation, maintenance, and the physical properties of the material being transported. As part of our work, a panel of subject matter experts were consulted with a view to extend the list of factors influencing belt wear rate that are available in the literature (All State Conveyors Pty Ltd, 2018;Masaki et al, 2018;Metso, 2016;Molnar et al, 2014;Schallamach, 1954). This extended list is shown in a fishbone diagram of the factors (Figure 1).…”

Conveyor belt wear is an important consideration in the bulk materials handling industry. We define four belt wear rate metrics and develop a model to predict wear rates of new conveyor configurations using an industry dataset that includes ultrasonic thickness measurements, conveyor attributes, and conveyor throughput. All variables are expected to contribute in some way to explaining wear rate and are included in modeling. One specific metric, the maximum throughput-based wear rate, is selected as the prediction target, and cross-validation is used to evaluate the out-of-sample performance of random forest and linear regression algorithms. The random forest approach achieves a lower error of 0.152 mm/megatons (standard deviation [SD] = 0.0648). Permutation importance and partial dependence plots are computed to provide insights into the relationship between conveyor parameters and wear rate. This work demonstrates how belt wear rate can be quantified from imprecise thickness testing methods and provides a transparent modeling framework applicable to other supervised learning problems in risk and reliability.

“…It combines both textiles properties, offering high strength but a low stretch of conveyor belt with excellent impact resistance. Textiles can also improve the ability to bond fibers in conveyor belts [15]. In textile fabric belts, carcass composed of single special ply (mono-ply) is used as it has special advantages, e.g.…”

A conveyor belt is one type of goods transportation in technological processes, particularly in the mining industry. The belt is the important material and principal part of the conveyor belt. The overall quality of the conveyor belt as its service life and impact loads are very important factors. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to classify the types of impact damage that may occur in rubber-textile conveyor belts. In many works, many types of conveyor belts are tested at various levels and the type of impacting material. The level of damage occurred is investigated by using probability theory. Particularly, the evaluation of experimental test data and predictive modeling is carried out using the Naïve Bayes classification.
