Step 1 Calculate your conveyor length In order to make the most effective choice of conveyor solution, please take the time to go through the following steps to work out which modular components you require to meet your materials handling needs. Worked examples are shown where appropriate. Step 2 Select belt type & joint type 8 Discharge Choose the optimum belt type from the following options depending on your application: Worked example 7 6 50 PLAIN A plain belt is normally suitable for conveyor angles up to 20°. However if your material is very free flowing, the maximum conveying angle on a plain belt will probably be equivalent to the angle of repose of the material (the angle that the sides of a pile of the material will naturally form). 4 5 4 A B 3 2 D 1 C 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Ground space (metres) Your Solution CHEVRON A chevron belt incorporates a 15mm high chevron pattern on the carrying surface and is capable of conveying materials at an angle of up to 35°. CLEATED A cleated belt is plain belt fitted with 50mm high vertical cleats at 600mm spacing. It can be used to carry materials at angles up to 45°. CLIP JOINT A clip joint is a straightforward and economical way to join the ends of your selected belt. This joint makes it easy to fit and replace belts. 7 6 50 4 5 VULCANISED JOINT This type of joint is more durable and robust creating a complete endless loop. Being a loop the belt needs to be fitted to the conveyor during assembly.
