Kamet belt conveyors are based on two frame types: - Low model, cold-rolled U profile 250 x 75, largest support interval 6 m. - High model, cold-rolled Z profile 650 x 80, largest support interval 20 m. Larger support intervals also possible. Arched and service elements are suitable for both types.

1 To choose the conveyors width and the belt speed, calculate volume flow Q V as follows: Q v = 300 m3/h = 187,5 m3/n 1,6 2 Calculate lifting angle = sin

3 Calculate belt width B and speed V from Figure 1. Choose B = 650 mm V = 1,5 m/s 4 Calculate power requirement of conveyor P. This is the sum of power requirement caused by the transport distance P1, Figure 2, and power requirement caused by the lifting height P2, Figure 3. P = P1 + P2 = 7,5 kW + 27 kW = 34,5 kW Choose 37 kW for power output of motor.
