   Belt Conveyor System Design Workshops

Industry Focus: Underground Mining

Today, it’s not just about producing good design drawings. It’s about designing, building and operating equipment that creates a strategic advantage for your company or clients. That means creating design solutions that are economical, practical, robust, reliable and flexible.

Using Belt Analyst II Software / Writing Specifications / All Industries

One benefit of the computer to the conveyor designer is the ability to view all the interdependencies of the system and components and evaluate the most critical design sensitivities. The objective of design sensitivity analysis is to combine the disciplines of structural, mechanical and electrical engineering to develop optimum solutions.

Industry Focus: Aggregate Mining

Perhaps the greatest benefit of the computer to the designer is the ability to simulate performance prior to building when prototype testing is uneconomical or impossible. This gives the designer a “feel” for the design, which is often impossible to get any other way.
