4. Application Design
Considerations
This section is included to help you plan for the set-up and installation of your
belt conveyor. Please review before beginning installation.
4.1. PRODUCT/CAPACITY CONSIDERATIONS
• Multiple Products: Make sure that the conveyor is designed and installed to
handle all types and sizes of the materials you require.
• Bulk Density: pounds per cubic foot, pounds per bushels, metric tons per
cubic meter, kg/cubic meter, etc.
• Abrasive/Corrosive/Sticky/Moist/Hot/Oily Materials: Design considera-
tions must be reviewed with Hi Roller's engineering department.
• Capacity: Inclined conveyors of any type will not convey the same amount of
material as a flat horizontal conveyor. Hi Roller's engineering department will
calculate the capacity of a specific application.
• Belt Speed: The minimum for proper reloading is 350 fpm for granular mate-
rials, and 400 fpm for powders/fine materials/meals.
4.1.1. ASPIRATION
Aspiration is designed to remove dust and not convey material.
GENERAL - DRY AMBIENT MATERIAL
• A 750 cfm system based on a 6” line at 4000 fpm is required to keep the lines
clear. A pickup hood is also required so material is not picked up by the air
(Figure 4.1).
