Failure analysis of textile rubber conveyor belt damaged by dynamic wear

Dynamic transition in conveyor belt driven granular flow

“…From raw materials, to seeds to cans and bottles, conveyor belts are chief in moving materials while minimizing relative granular flow [1]. Some recent studies on conveyor belts consider the Janssen effect [2], wear and failure [3] and the effects of tension asymmetry [4]. When a constriction is used to force grains to flow through a narrower section, the flow rate has to accommodate.…”

Developments of rubber material wear in conveyer belt system

“…This takes place between belt edge and rack wear which causes premature belt edge damage, reduce the life of conveyors, affect the throughput of materials, and affects the production directly (11). According to Fedorko et al, (13,14), the process of conveyor belt wearing and damaging is a restraining condition, which has a crucial impact on the operational service life of a conveyor belt. Each conveyor belt has a limited service life, determined by the wear of cover layers, amount of punctures, damage, deformation, and loss of functional properties.…”

Maintenance of belt conveyors using an expert system based on fuzzy logic

“…In effect, machinery and technological devices are becoming more and more complex, which imposes higher demands on their users, including the necessity of applying suitable methods and techniques to ensure durability and reliability of frequently complex and elaborate production systems [1,2]. In recent years, conveyor belt transport systems have taken on a new significance due to numerous research studies on innovative design solutions for conveyor belts [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The application of these new developed solutions leads, among others, to considerable reduction in operational costs of transport systems, while ensuring their high reliability and service life at the same time.…”
