Abstract
In this article the new type of belt conveyors – conveyor with a pendant belt, its advantages in comparison with standard conveyors and main trends of its developing are described. Main attention is paid for the aim of determination of the regularities of the cutout forming in dependence on the way of its loading by the transported cargo. The results of the experiments, showing that the belt’s carrying ability (capacity of the gutter) to a considerable extent depends on the cargo’s angle of scope, and also that for the most types of loads the carrying ability is used most effectively when the distance between the guide ways is about 75 % of the belt’s width. Approximating dependence describing the contour of the cutout of the loaded belt is also given.
