DESIGN DATA BELT SPEED Belt speeds shall be selected as appropriate to the application and shall avoid the

possibility of spillage and excessive power consumption. Unless otherwise specified, the following maximum belt speeds shall normally apply: For short in-plant connecting / feed belts - one (1) m/s For medium transfer belts - two (2) m/s For long interplant / storage bin belts - three (3) m/s BELT WIDTH Unless otherwise specified in the Works, or agreed to by the Superintendent, the belt width shall be selected based on a design capacity of 200% (2 times), the maximum rated process capacity.

DRIVE CAPACITY Unless otherwise specified in the Works, or agreed to by the Superintendent, the drive capacity shall be based on 120% (1.2 times); the maximum rated process capacity, with due allowance for skirt and scraper friction and the increased power requirements for belt feeders fitted under material hoppers. GENERAL Belt take-ups shall not be positioned under feed or transfer points or anywhere where there is any likelihood of spillage from other parts of the plant. Layouts shall be designed such that in plan transfer angles, from one conveyor to another shall not be less than 90 , wherever possible. DESIGN COMPUTATIONS The Contractor shall supply design computations of the conveyor system to the Superintendent for approval, if requested. These computations shall include belt tensions, accelerating and decelerating forces and drive horsepower, conveyor belt speed, belt type/design, friction forces and take-up weights. FOUNDATIONS AND SUPPORTS The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment loading data, drawings of bolt layouts and details of components to be built into the foundations. All loads imposed on other structures by the conveyors shall be specified on drawings, so that the design of the support structure can be verified. TECHNICAL DATA Equipment manuals, recommended maintenance schedules and spares list for all maintainable items and technical data sheets for each item of equipment shall be prepared and supplied by the Contractor, in accordance with the requirements of CSBP Guide Manual Technical Data Requirements for Plant and Equipment (GM-05-043-01). DESIGN REVIEWS Design reviews shall be carried out in accordance with CSBP Engineering Procedure Engineering Project Design Review (EP-08-030-19), to ensure that the design is consistent with the agreed project criteria and it is compliant with CSBP Standards, Statutory Requirements and other applicable codes and practices.
