Abstract :
Large bulk material handling facilities have been and are being built today in which the belt conveyor has an important part. This paper describes a motor control system for an improved method of accelerating long belt conveyors. The application of the drive motor and its control system can have significant effect on belt life and initial cost of the control, motor, and drive equipment.
