Belt Conveyors
Belt Conveyors
(OP)
When trying to select proper size of belts in a conveyor system, I am reviewing a chart that matches hp to drive a belt to horizontal centers distance...does horizontal centers mean distance from center of belt drives, horizontall?
Or does it mean something else?
~Thanks

Use the CEMA book 6th Edition. Or better yet get SIDEWINDER or another belt simulaion program. ACtek who created SIDEWINDER also do dynamic simulations of very long overland conveyors. We do hundreds of overland and in plant conveyors every year for everything from coal to gold.
