An aggregate company needs to move 2,000 t/h of limestone over a 3.5 km distance with a 150m rise. A junior engineer uses an old spreadsheet.
Manual calculations often lead to a 20-30% safety factor. While safe, this adds massive cost. A 10% over-sizing of a belt for a 5 km overland conveyor can add $150,000 to the capital cost. CCS reduces safety factors to the precise required level (often 5-10%), saving steel, rubber, and motors. conveyor calculation software
Purchasing conveyor calculation software costs between $2,000 and $15,000 per license. For a plant manager or engineering firm, that is a line item. However, the ROI is often realized in the first project. An aggregate company needs to move 2,000 t/h
