- Description
- This paper presents findings from a research program aimed at investigating the interaction between the bulk solid and the conveyor belt during transportation. The outcomes will improve the methods used to calculate the loads on conveyor idler rolls and predict the energy loss due to the flexure of the bulk solid. The research involved simulated laboratory experiments and tests on a moving belt conveyor where the pressure acting on the surface of the conveyor belt through interaction with the bulk solid was measured. The experimental results are compared to existing theoretical methods and to simulations undertaken using the Discrete Element Method (DEM).
