This whitepaper reviews a technique for measuring lagging friction coefficients under typical conveyor belt pressures and discusses the surprising results and explores the concept of lagging traction as a more accurate depiction of drive capacity. The data presented will suggest the existence of a maximum available traction, regardless of increasing pressure, for each lagging design. The … Continue reading Variant Friction Coefficients of Lagging and Implications for Conveyor Design →

Mining companies are transitioning from high capital expenditure greenfield projects to squeezing more out of the existing operations. On a couple of recent projects in Australia, five roll trough idlers have been used to reduce loading point maintenance and substantially increase conveyor capacity. Depending on the ore properties, five roll trough idlers can increase capacity by … Continue reading Conveyor Five Roll Trough Idler Geometry Optimisation →
