Due to the different materials being conveyed on the belt conveyor line, the conveyor capacity and conveyor tension required by the customer are different, so the belt speed should also be determined according to the actual situation.

Transmission Chain manufacturers will give you an example. For example, in order to reduce dust, powder materials should be transported at low speed as far as possible; brittle materials should avoid jumping or chipping on the idler; heavy or sharp edges should be run at medium speed to avoid wear and tear.
When determining the belt speed, the following factors should be considered:

1. The greater the ton-kilometer value of the conveying capacity, the greater the operating speed of the required conveyor belt strength.

2. Bandwidth. The smaller the width of the conveyor belt, the more unstable it will be during high-speed operation, and it is even prone to serious spattering.

3. The installation quality of fixed belt conveyors is generally higher, and a higher belt speed can be used; the speed of semi-fixed and mobile conveyors should be lower.

4. The impact of loading and the impact of materials will cause the wear of the conveyor belt, so the short-distance conveyor slows down. However, in order to reduce the conveyor belt tension, long-distance conveyors often use high-speed operation

5. The speed can be higher in horizontal or near horizontal conveying. When inclined conveying, the larger the inclination angle, the easier the material rolls or tilts the belt conveyor. Relatively speaking, materials are easier to roll or slide on the conveyor belt during transportation.
