Abstract:
The article considers the methodology of justification and calculation of rational
and constructive parameters of a tube belt conveyor (TBC), which allows to transport bulk
cargo safely.
At the same time, there was noted the need for a harmless impact on the environment,
especially when transporting routes with vertical and horizontal bends over long
distances.
The considered TBC design, unlike the existing ones, is formed with a closed belt tray due
to support devices placed along the perimeter of the bulk cargo transportation line.
It is revealed that the main advantages of conveyor transport are a high level of labor
productivity achieved by automating the operation of equipment and low production
costs. And the problems inherent in them are the need for crushing the transported cargo,
precise alignment of transition sections, coordination of drives and synchronization of
movements, easily adjustable during operation, subject to certain initial design conditions.
