• If you have purchased or are considering purchasing Horizontal Curve Analyst or Dynamic Analyst software.
  
• If you design belt conveyors and need an in depth understanding of system design, power requirements and component selection. Advanced concepts such as horizontal curves, dynamic stopping and starting analysis and long flights from 3,500 ft to 50,000 ft will be discussed.

Day 1

CEMA “Belt Conveyors for Bulk Materials”, 6th Edition/Advanced Considerations and Advacned Conveyor Designs - This new internationally recognized industry handbook was completely revised in 2005. Power equations were updated for the first time in 50 years. New techniques that utilize the power of computers and the best research in the world provide todays designer much greater insite into these complex machines.

Overland Conveyor Design- Selecting and optimizing the route which may include vertical and horizontal curves or high angle conveying.

Using CEMA 6th Power Methods- Optimize idler selection and installation for efficiency and long life. Optimize belt rubber selection and gauge for power efficiency and long life.

Horizontal Curves- Learn the design methods and considerations for negotiating horizontal curves. Design methods for traversing tigher curve radii.

Dynamic Analysis - Stopping and starting belt conveyors with time based, FEA solvers. The use of Dynamic Analyst software.

Real Life Problems- We always end with our real life examples. You can even bring your own along and see how the process works with your toughest applications.

Day 2

Designing a New Conveyor- Starting from scratch. Go through the process from evaluating the material being conveyed, through the selection of belt width and belt speed, to the selection of belting, idlers, pulleys, take-up and drive. Finally, evaluate vertical curves, turnovers, transitions and transfer chute requirements.

Troubleshooting an Existing Conveyor- Learn to properly analyze an existing application. Find the "Root Cause" of mechanical failures or operational headaches. Evaluate various options to improve perfromance and reliability.

Upgrade an Existing Conveyor- Learn to properly evaluate all the possible options available to increase output or extend range.

Real Life Problems- We always end with our real life examples. You can even bring your own along and see how the process works with your toughest applications.
