Mathematical model of belt conveyor intermediate drive with baffles

Abstract

Abstract In the modern world, in modern circumstances industries require high-speed technologies and fully automation. The best choice to satisfy these requirements is to implement new technologies with progressive features into transportation processes. This article describes the options for increasing traction of the belt conveyor intermediate drive. The functioning principle of the intermediate linear drive with transverse baffles has been described, formulas for calculating the values of traction effort have been provided, also comparative graphs that show the efficiency of using the intermediate drive in various conditions, have been given.
