Healthy speed control of belt conveyors on conveying bulk materials

Belt conveyors play an important role in the dry bulk material handling process. Speed control is a promising method of reducing the power consumption of belt conveyors. However, inappropriate transient operations might cause risks like material spillage away from the belt conveyor. The unexpected risks limit the applicability of speed...
