5000' CONVEYOR SYSTEM, ALONG MISSISSIPPI RIVER Use of Copter saves 70% of erection cost during Installation of conveyors!
FEECO INTERNATIONAL, INC., the designer, the manufacturer and Project Managers of a multi-million dollar material handling system at Blytheville, Arkansas and their contractors were faced with the fact that approximately 2200 feet of conveyor had to be installed over the swampy area at the job-site between the Mississippi River and the main plant.
Because of the special conditions, an intensive study was made of the time and installation costs involved, both important factors on a project of this magnitude. Vital to being willing to explore more sophisticated methods of equipment erection, the idea was triggered to use a helicopter for the erection of conveyors in the areas under question. The erection program was planned, coordinated and scheduled to have 2200 feet of conveyor sections completely assembled with trusses, idlers and material protection covers in 60 foot lengths, and approximately 3300 pounds each.
The complete installation of the 2200 foot conveying system was accomplished in less than four hours with an average lift duration of between 6 and 8 minutes. The accuracy of placing the 60 foot, 3300 lb. sections was phenominal and was accomplished within one inch of the desired locations.
6 - 7 Conveyors
Tot~1 manp~~er for this part of the material handling systems erection included: the helicopter pilot with two radl~ technl~l~ns, one at ground level and one at the point of installation; two men at the ground level for connecting the lifting cables to the conveying system sections; three men at the receiving end along the erection area and one supervisor.
Fro~. a labor viewpoint it is estimated that at least double the manpower would have had to be employed and in addition cranes, crawlers and other mobile equipment would have had to be engaged. Overall, an estimated 70% of normal cost was saved by the use of the airlift method described above.
The above erected conveying system is only part of a major material handling system including approximately 5000 f~et of conveyor~, a. 30,00.0 ton capacity storage building, a screening tower completely equipped with screening sys~ems , weighing units, delumpers and reclaim equipment, a loading shelter with loadout sytems to trucks and railroad cars and conveying systems for barge loading at the Mississippi River loading docks.

STEEP INCLINE FEECO International's steep incline conveyor permits the transport of bulk material at inclines ranging from 18° to 90°. Material applications include coal fines, fertilizer, wood chips, chemicals, assembly parts, scrap material and many other bulk materials. The advantages of this unique design include ...
• REDUCED MATERIAL DEGRADATION Through "L' and "S" shape designs, transfer points are eliminated allowing smooth continuous conveying.
• REDUCED SPILLAGE Corrugated sidewalls which contains the material reduces spillage along conveyor path and loading points.
• LESS SPACE REQUIREMENTS Steeper geometric options of the steep incline conveyor reduces the length requirements compared to conventional conveyors which eliminates wasted space.
• LONGER BELT LIFE Belt abrasion is curtailed by restricted movement of material.
• CUSTOM DESIGN FEECO's steep incline conveyors are specifically designed according to customers requirements, using top quality components.

BELTING DESIGN
The steep incline conveyor uses a flexible corrugated sidewall belting which contains the material and permits loose material such as fertilizer, coal fines, chemicals, assembly parts, scrap materials, grain, sludge, and other bulk materials to be conveyed without spilling. A choice of cleated belting is available which prevents fall back of the material when conveying at steep inclined angles up to 90°.
MATERIAL TRANSFER
DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Head and tail sections come fully assembled with shop mounted pulleys and complete drive systems. The picture at the right illustrates a shaft mounted reducer with V-belt drive. Other drive options available are direct coupled and chain drive. Back stops can either be mounted internally to the reducer or externally on the conveyor head shaft. The steep incline conveyor is ideally suited as a replacement for drag chain or bucket elevators. This means less noise and maintenance and often at a lower initial cost.
, .
6 - 23 Conveyors
Loading points remain clean with custom designed inlet hoppers which maximize loading capacity for straight incline, horizontal, "L', and "S" shape configurations. Turning wheel assemblies are incorporated to direct belting up the desired incline. Fully enclosed systems are available to protect material and reduce dust. Due to this unique all-in-one design, transfer points are eliminated preventing product degradation and spillage and allows for smooth continuous conveying of the material.
6 - 24 Conveyors
Head Pulley: SO-610
Shown here is a solid steel pulley with lagging. This will increase the grip of the pulley on the belt, reduce belt slippage and wear and add extra lift to belt and pulleys. Solid steel with flat or crown face pulleys as well as wing type with or without lagging may be furnished upon request.
Troughing Idlers: SD-620 - 623
Four series to fit most requirements. Sealed or greaseable bearings. Standard and ' special purpose types. 20°, 35°, and 45° designs.
*(Note: Safety Guards have been removed for photographic purposes only Guards must be in place when operating.)
Tail Pulley: SO-611 Shown here is a self cleaning wing type pulley which is furnished upon request. Normally, a solid steel with crowned face is furnished as a standard. Flat face pulleys can also be furnished upon request.
Takeup: Shown here is a rugged travel screw takeup to provide belt tightening. For longer conveyors, the takeup may be a gravity unit in either the horizontal or vertical position. If gravity takeup is used, tail pulley is in a fixed position.

HORIZONTAL DISTANCE For dimensions greater than the limits of the chart, divide the given dimensions by a figure to bring length within the range of the chart. Multiply the result by the same figure to restore the proportions. Example: 160 ft. horizontal distance, 52 ft. lift. Dividing by 2 = 80 ft. and 26 ft. Intersection of vertical line from 80 ft. horizontal distance and horizontal line from 26 ft. lift = length on incline of 84 ft. at 18° line. Acutal incline conveyor length then is 84 x 2 or 168 ft.

SPACING OF IDLERS
(GENERAL CONFORMITY OF ALL CEMA IDLER MANUFACTURERS)
Normal Spacing--{Troughing and Return Idlers) See Table below, for recommendations.
Loading Point--{Impact Idlers)--Normally, one half the troughing idler spacing is recommended. For fine materials, place the idlers as close together as possible.
Convex or Concave Curves consult engineering department for arrangement and spacing.
Belt Training Idlers--FEECO recommends the use of one training return idler approximately 12 to 15 belt widths before the tailor takeup pulley. Also place training idlers at approximately 100 foot intervals on the troughing and return runs.
Side Guide Idlers--Use only to insure against serious belt damage that may be caused by the belt running against the conveyor support structure. Place near the possible obstruction. They are not a corrective device.

Horsepower Caluculation
With the information given in Tables 1 to 5 inclusive, the total horsepower required can be determined.
Example: Assume a 24" belt conveyor with 300 horizontal centers, a 40 foot rise and a belt speed of 400 feet per minute. Conveyor to handle 195 tons of coal per hour. Anti-friction idlers and terminal bearings to be used throughout.
Table No. 1 shows that we will require 1.0 H .P . for each 100 feet per minute belt speed to drive empty conveyor, or a total of 4.0 H.P. for a conveyor traveling 400 F.P.M.
Table No. 2 we find that approximately 2.7 H.P. will be required to convey 195 tons over a horizontal distance of 300 feet.
Table No.3 gives the additional H.P. required to drive tripper, but as no tripper would be required on the conveyor, we are considering this figure is omitted .
By adding the horsepowers determined from Tables 1, 2 and 4 we get an effeotive H.P. of 14.7.
Table No. 5 gives the additional horsepower required for the power less in various types of drives. Assume the conveyor we have under consideration is driven by a helical gear reducer and roller chain drive. We would then have to add 10% of the effective H.P. to take care of the power loss, or 1.5 H.P. This would give us a motor H .P. of 16.2 in which case we would recommend a 20 H .P. motor.
Table No. 4 shows that approximately 8 H.P. is required to Where conveyor is to be started under load, a high starting elevate 195 T.P.H. of material 40 feet. t.oraue motor should be used.
