Application of the rope traction organ in conveyors

Abstract

Widespread use of conveyor transportation in some cases is limited by the shortcomings of traction and load-carrying bodies of existing types of conveyors. Belt conveyors with rubberized fabric (cotton and synthetic) belt have a relatively small length per drive and short belt life. The disadvantage of belt conveyors with rubber tether belt is the high cost of the belt and its repair (amortization of the cost of the belt is up to 50% of the total cost of transportation). Belt-and-channel conveyors have a complex belt design and, accordingly, its cost is high. Belt-chain, slat and scraper conveyors have a small length per drive, low strength and very high weight of the traction body ...
