Determination of relative immobile and sliding areas between carrying and tractive belts in using of belt conveyor intermediate drives

Abstract

Method of determination of relative immobile and sliding areas between carrying and tractive belts in places of mount-ing of belt conveyor intermediate drives made in the form of tractive contours is proposed. The example shows potential of this method in multidrive belt conveyor design process.
