The software can calculate the optimal spacing of carrying idlers (normally 1m to 1.5m). In a 2 km conveyor, increasing spacing from 1.0m to 1.2m reduces idler count by ~300 units. At $100 per idler, that is $30,000 saved, plus reduced maintenance access.
The CCS design saved $200,000 in belt cost, $50,000 in motor cost, and prevented a catastrophic start-up failure. conveyor calculation software
The software automatically suggests valid components based on calculated shaft loads and tensions. The software can calculate the optimal spacing of
Consider a conveyor that "rolls back" (reverses uncontrolled) when stopped on a slope. The belt can accelerate to 50 km/h (30 mph) in seconds, snapping take-up towers and killing personnel. CCS calculates the necessary and brake size to prevent this. that is $30
