Abstract
Article discusses issues related to the weakened strength of the joints in conveyor belts. Joints are the weakest element of the belt and should be taken aimed at eliminating the errors made that may be caused by multiple factors. Every breakdown generates additional costs in the company so this is important to decrease their number. All analyzed joints were made using belts with steel cords. The results were obtained from the Conveyor Transport Laboratory at the Wroclaw University of Technology. The assessment showed a significant impact of the working defects on joint strength. Also the trend analysis performed on the samples of regenerated belts showed a linear decrease in strength along with the degree of regeneration.
期刊介绍:
Mining Scince. Scientific Papers of the Department Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of the Wroclaw University of Technology. The journal publishes original papers on mining and geology, geo-engineering and the related issues. The journal is devoted to the following topics: fundamental research in mining, underground and open-cast mining technologies, blasting technology, design and construction of mines, geomechanics and geotechnical engineering, mine ventilation, fluid mechanics and its application in mining, mining machinery and condition monitoring, mineral processing, environmental protection and waste utilization. The journal also accepts papers concerns geoengineering which is a sciences covering mining construction, geotechnical engineering, GIS, and earth sciences.
