Features: This book discusses the design and calculation methods for general belt conveyors. It is rich in content and novel, reflecting the latest research achievements in belt conveyors both domestically and internationally. The book is suitable for design engineers, technical personnel, and researchers in transportation-related fields within industries such as machinery, power, metallurgy, chemical engineering, coal, mining, ports, building materials, and grain. It can also serve as a reference for faculty and students in relevant disciplines at universities. This book discusses the design and calculation methods for general belt conveyors. The entire book is divided into 3 parts and 19 chapters: Chapter 1 introduces the characteristics and application scope of belt conveyors; Chapters 2 and 3 provide the calculation methods for German standard belt conveyors and the power calculation method for belt conveyors from the American Conveyor Manufacturers Association, respectively; Chapters 4–11 discuss the design and calculation methods for the main components of belt conveyors, including: the conveyor belt, driving, idlers, drums, tensioning, braking, auxiliary equipment of belt conveyors, and electromechanical protection devices of belt conveyors; Chapters 12–19 discuss the theoretical aspects of belt conveyor design and calculation, including: the resistance of belt conveyors, the transmission theory of belt conveyors, the curved sections of belt conveyors, impact and buffering methods during the loading process, material trajectories during the unloading process, the dynamic processes of belt conveyors, the vibration of the conveyor belt in the cross-section of the conveyor, and design calculation examples.
