Take-up Movement
The purpose of take-up devices in belt conveyors is to establish and maintain a predetermined level of tension in the belt. The table below shows extractions from various take up design guides on the key design criteria selection for the design of a take up system.
| Belt Type | Permanent Elongation Δp (%) | Elastic Stretch Δe (%) | Splicing Allowance Δs (%) | Automatic or Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Textile-reinforced conveyor belting | 1.5 | 2.5 | 1.2 | Manual | |
| Textile-reinforced conveyor belting | 1.5 | 1 | 1.2 | Automatic | |
| PVC Solid Woven Belting | 1.5 | 2.5 | 1.2 | Manual | |
| PVC Solid Woven Belting | 1.5 | 1 | 1.2 | Automatic | |
