Number III, Volume VI, July 2011 CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA OF THE BELT CONVEYOR WITH A THREE-IDLER SET Leopold Hrabovský1 Summary: This contribution describes a determination of maximum height of the cap of cross- sectional area of the belt conveyor with one-idler set on the basis of known value of useable conveyor belt width. At the same time is determined the biggest cross- sectional area of belt conveyor with three-idler set assuming that the values of surcharge angle, conveyor belt width, troughing angle and length dimensions of idlers are known as well. Key words: cross-sectional area, belt conveyor, three roll troughed idler set INTRODUCTION 3 Maximum conveying capacity of the belt conveyor Iv [m /s] is determined as the multiplication of the belt velocity v [m/s], slope coefficient of the belt conveyor k [-] and the 2 biggest cross-sectional area S [m ]. The biggest cross-sectional area of the belt depends on usable conveyor belt width b [m] which is the function of conveyor belt width B [m], moreover on the trough shape, i.e. on the number of idlers and their proportions (centre idler length l3 [m] and troughing angle λ [deg]), and on spherical cap shape of the cross-sectional area, which is limited by parabolic curve. This parabolic curve is characterized by surcharge angle Θ [deg] of the conveying material. 1. CROSS-SECTION AREA OF THE BELT CONVEYOR If the value of surcharge angle Θ [deg] of conveying material is known as well as conveyor belt width B [m], it is possible to express useable conveyor belt width b [m] (see Fig
