Rubber conveyor belt length on drum
Rubber conveyor belt length on drum
Sometimes it is useful to calculate the length of a conveyor rubber belt wound on a roll. It is often an old tire unmounted from and wound from a belt conveyor.
- Inner drum diameter d
- Conveyor belt thickness s
- Number of coils N
- Angle between final coil and end of rubber belt α
Example: All parameters should be considered for further calculations. On this picture above, we have coiled conveyor rubber belt on a wooden drum (d). Pay attention to the order of measurement operations.
