When a belt conveyor transports materials, friction inevitably generates certain resistance, especially when the transportation time is long and mechanical lubrication is insufficient. In this case, it is necessary to lubricate each mechanical component to reduce friction. In the case of a fixed belt conveyor, the belt connectors can also be replaced with vulcanized connectors; although they are more expensive, they have a longer service life. The first two types of resistance in a belt conveyor are the rolling resistance of the conveyor components and the forward resistance of the belt conveyor itself. The values of the two resistances are the same. The loading factor is used to determine the length of the belt conveyor; the length of the belt conveyor, the mass of the rotating parts, the mass per unit length of the idler rollers, the mass per unit length of the rotating parts, and the unit mass of the conveyor belt are also important factors in transportation. The unit mass of the material is related to the conveying capacity of the belt conveyor, the bulk density of the material, and the belt speed. The main component used by belt conveyors to transport materials is the conveyor belt. If the conveyor belt is being transported, it will also exert a certain amount of resistance on the belt itself. Therefore, in order to reduce the operating resistance of the belt conveyor, once a deviation in the belt is detected, it should be adjusted promptly to minimize such deviation. Any waste generated during transportation must be removed to ensure the proper functioning of the belt conveyor. Tensions are very pronounced.
