Mathematical Model for Determining the Lifetime of Conveyor Belts Depending on some Selected Parameters

Abstract:

In the last years, belt conveyors belong to the most frequently used means of transport in various industries. The most important component of the belt conveyor is the conveyor belt. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention also to optimal lifetime of conveyor belts. Conveyor belt lifetime is a very complicated issue. It is affected by plenty of factors, including above all the quality structure of the belt conveyor, optimal construction, production, and properties of the conveyor belt as such, adequate solution of conveyance route shifting, reasonable maintenance, and quality repairs of conveyor belts. The paper deals with the exploring the lifetime of conveyor belts depending from on some selected parameters obtained from the operating records of practice (thickness of paint layer, width and length of the belt, conveyor speed and quantity of transported material) with using appropriate mathematical - statistical methods.
