Lifetime of belt conveyor's drums dependance on outside influences

Abstract

Belt conveyor’s drums are the most important parts of all belt conveyors. We sorted drums to two main sorts: drive drums or driven one. It is evident, that most loaded drums are drive drums, which transfer not only forces on drum faces area (belt forces), but mainly provide transfer of torque moment to belt or take up element and load of power units too. Well, commonly happen destruction of relatively low loaded driven drum of the belt conveyors mainly thanks to no very good their design.
