BELTSTAT is intended to be a design tool and a computational aid to competent and experienced conveyor design engineers. Using good engineering judgment and conveyor design experience, users can quickly arrive at the following conveyor design results:
- Belt width and speed
- Belt tension rating
- Counterweight tension
- Horsepower rating of drive motors
- Drive motor starting characteristics
- Idler specifications and spacing
- Pulley and shaft design
- Vertical curve radii and required special idler spacing
- Brake size (if required)
- Flywheel requirements (if applicable)
