maximun angle soybeam belt conveyer
maximun angle soybeam belt conveyer
(OP)
We are in pre-design phase of a soybeam transportation system. Can anybody recomend the maximun angle for the belt conveyer? Or where can we find literature refering to this subject.
thanks
thanks





RE: maximun angle soybeam belt conveyer
The maximum angle is vertical if you are using buckets, otherwise it is simply a function of the height of the cleats.
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

Then make the inclined plane move at some prescribed velocity and ask the same question.
Sound like a better plan than just asking someone and hoping the reciepe solution is exactly the one you need? You'd get better odds on the craps tables in Vegas! So don't be afraid to do your own work, you may even enjoy it.

At that time the company guidelines were for chutes and slides, 65* for sugar 55* for powders(Meal,Flour) 35* for granular and beans.
For belt conveyors with no cleats 1/2 of the angle to run a chute so for a 35* chute that would be a 17* conveyor. For superflo conveyors up to 45* or angle of repose. For draglink square conveyors ( Redler type ) any angle up to 90*
Hope this helps.

A conveyor with no cleats is a smooth conveyor.
For granular material we would not make chutes less than 35*. At 24* unless you have a vibrator on the chute you still run the risk of bridging and sticking.

I understand, but I could fall directly 90º on the belt, I thought that certain angle was needed so as to let the grain have certain velocity in the same direction of the belt, and favor the transition of the falling grain into the belt conveyor. I have seen belts where grain falling directly 90º into the belt, some grains tend to bounce off.
By the way, do you have or know where to find information regarding, angle and diameter of pipe, regarding velocity, capacity and frictin loss of grain?
Thanks

RE: maximun angle soybeam belt conveyer
If your grain is bouncing off the conveyor from a 90* chute then your shrouding is set too high. bring your chute closer to the belt except on the away side.
I no longer have information on velocity of grain in pipes.
