BASICS FOR DESIGN OF DEVICE FOR TESTING CONVEYOR BELTS

Abstract

The topic of the paper are the basics of design of a machine for testing the conveyor belts. At the beginning of the work, the characteristics of conveyors and their traction elements are stated. According to the standards for testing the belts of belt conveyors and on the basis of previous research, the calculation of the machine construction was performed. After the calculation, the design of the machine and the analysis of the finite elements of the checked critical parts were performed. At the end of the work, guidelines are given for further research and possible upgrades of the machine in terms of more advanced testing.
