| Zusammenfassung: | A conveyor cost estimation methodology is developed which takes into account the two major costs of operating unit load conveyors: maintenance and power. A programmable calculator program (CONVEY) Is developed to assist the plant engineer in determining new operating conditions for the belt, such as motor size, belt tension, gear and sprocket ratio. CONVEY also computes power consumption for specified belt operating parameters. |
