To effectively utilize the Shiftbulk platform, access the navigation tree on the left side of the interface. Click on the different components in the tree to interact with them, view their properties, and make adjustments as needed. This user-friendly menu ensures efficient and seamless management of your conveyor system components.
Belt conveyors utilize a friction drive and accordingly, when power is applied to the drive system, one run of the belt will experience a higher tension than the other. The amount of slack side tension required to prevent slippage at the drive is a function of several constant factors amongst others is the coefficient of friction between the drive system. Below is a list of standard drive pulley friction factors from various design catalogues and standards.
