CEMA Belt Conveyors for Bulk Materials
Known throughout the industry as “The Belt Book,” this updated 7th edition is a must-have resource for technicians and engineers involved in the design, manufacture, or service of bulk conveyors or components.
It contains basic data, fundamentals of design, belt conveyor capacities, belt selections, general applications, Ki and Ai factors, and most importantly, includes imperial and metric units in text, figures, and tables.
Selecting the Right Belt Cleaner
Belt cleaners are not one-size-fits-all and require assessment of several factors to ensure proper selection, sizing, and performance. Make sure you are considering the correct criteria.
13 Types of Conveyor Belt Damage
Conveyor belts are integral elements in the bulk material handling industry, assisting with the efficient transportation of materials from one point to another. That is why it is important to ensure conveyor belt availability, effectiveness, and longevity. Learn how to recognize and prevent the 13 types of conveyor belt damage.
Conveyor Transfers
The Power of the Three Zones
Conveyor-to-conveyor transfer points experience free-falling material and turbulence that can result in dust and spillage. See how integrating transfer point zones improves containment, efficiency, and productivity.
Understanding Engineering Controls to Reduce Silica Dust
Dust can be a common occurrence in bulk material handling. One of the best ways to manage dust is to reduce it at the source and prevent it from becoming airborne. Understand why and how to effectively battle silica dust.
Conveyor Belt Alignment
Belt alignment is crucial to reducing fugitive material as well as damage to the belt and conveyor structure. Explore the root causes of belt mistracking and how to rectify them.
Air Cannons 101
When material builds up and chokes production, a common yet repetitive, ineffective, and unsafe method is manual cleaning. Safely and efficiently keep material flowing with air cannons.
10 Common Mistakes in Conveyor Specification & Design
As expectations for safety, serviceability, and reliability continue to rise, common practices in conveyor specification and design have started to lag behind. Learn the top 10 mistakes made when specifying and designing conveyor systems.
Belt Cleaner Troubleshooting Guide
It can be frustrating when belt cleaners aren't removing carryback as expected. However, there are common causes and solutions as to why performance is less than optimal. Learn how to troubleshoot your belt cleaners.
