Does anyone know how to determine the maximum angle at which a coal conveyor can be inclined.

It is a belt conveyor so thanks for the information.

Give me know more specifics and I can help you.

90 degrees is not an incline. The term incline would be any degree less than 90 degree. Any product moving on any belt conveyor will move. This normally happens because of inconsitancy in the belt path (ie. pulleys, sliders). The reason why we make belt conveyors into a radius shape to start with is to stop the product from moving off of the sides and onto the floor.
I have been engineering various machines and custom conveyors for the past 35 years. Some of the conveyors I have engineered were double retractable head conveyors. You can retract one or both ends while the conveyor is running. Very usefull in filling operations, instead of dumping the material in the center of the transport device.
I also taught engineering and calculas 1 & 2 at ASU for two years (I had a lot of fun).
email me your specks and I will tell you what to do.

I just joined the club this week, so I don't know if your question is still valid.
We have 6 concrete silo's with a capacity of 7000 tonnes each,that we fill with a conveyorbels.
The inclination of the belt is 18°, beltspeed is 4.5 m/s, belt is 1800 mm wide.
With wet coal, or heavy rain we have sometimes problems with material slip.
I'm 55 and slill asking and learning.

Thank you all for your comments. The plant we have is at a power station in Poland. In the winter the coal gets very wet (up to 22% water) and we have experienced some slippage on the belts that slope at an angle of 17 degrees.
