With a new guideline on hygienic design of belt conveyors for the food industry, the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) addresses two of the major challenges in safe food production. First, how to avoid contamination of food through inadequately designed processing equipment ...
Design Considerations for Conveyor Belt Idlers
In this article we will discuss only the flat type belt conveyor idler design. The Basics of Flat Idler Design. Typically, the following inputs are used for starting up the design process of the flat idler: Capacity of the conveyor generally expressed in tons per hour. Bulk density of the conveyed materials generally expressed in tons per cubic meter.
