Análise dos métodos Prático e CEMA para correias transportadoras e escolha do seu conjunto de acionamento sob a luz da eficiência energética

Abstract

Belts conveyors are one of the most common means of transport in the industrial environment. When used, they are at the operations center, and are key to profitability. This work will analyze different methods of calculating the function of factors by a belt conveyor, in order to show how important it is to choose a method that seeks, in more detail, the efforts contained in this type of conveyor and to dimension the power without there is oversizing. The main objective is to analyze and understand the loading behavior of a conveyor belt for different types of application and, consequently, an importance of correctly dimensioning the drive system to be used in this type of transport, since energy efficiency it is an essential factor to optimize the use of energy sources. The MATLAB software from the company MathWorks, helps in the calculations to obtain the results through the different methods, and, finally, it will use it to define the best method, together with the drive system to be used on the belt conveyor.
