“…Research and development projects are conducted for such means as increasing the energy efficiency of conveyor components, start-up dynamics, and for adapting its design to difficult installation conditions [1], as well as for reducing transport energy consumption by controlling the feed (management of loading) of conveyors [2]. Developmental fields also include linear speed control [3,4], improvement of conveyor modeling methods [5,6], implementation of new drive solutions, and, also, the use of conveyors for long-distance transport [7,8]. The optimization solutions also apply to conveyor components, including numerous research works on, and implementation of, belts [9,10] and energy-saving idlers [11].…”
