Improving the traction calculation of dump conveyor belts for mobile construction and road vehicles

A modification of the design method for dump belt conveyors of mobile construction and road machines is proposed, based on the introduction into its structure of refined recommendations for choosing the coefficient of resistance to the movement of the belt, developed on the basis of experimental studies of the heating process of conveyor elements from the moment of its start to exit to operating temperature. Using the example of a dump conveyor of a mobile washing plant, patterns of operation of short conveyors have been identified, which make it possible to increase the efficiency of their design process, as well as to obtain a positive economic result from the use of the proposed modification.
