Application and Design of Package Conveyers

Conveyers used for material handling are divided into two groups, namely, for bulk materials like ore, gravel, coal, ash, sand, and so on, and for unit loads such as cartons, boxes, barrels, sacked goods, tote boxes, etc. This paper will discuss the latter group, dealing with application and design. In giving the various formulas on design, certain liberties with theory are taken and short cuts are used, but all formulas have been checked and proved by actual performance.
