Method and apparatus for determining specific energy consumption of belt conveyors

摘要

The invention relates to a belt conveyor (1) and a method for determining an energy consumption of a belt conveyor (1) relative to Fördergurtteilstücke (8) or relative to plant sections (13) of the belt conveyor. The belt conveyor comprises at least one drive for driving a conveyor belt (2) consisting of Fördergurtteilstücken (8). The belt conveyor (1) has a control device (10), the signals of a first sensor (18) for detecting the energy consumption of the drive (7) and a second sensor (24) for detecting a portion of the conveyor belt (2) assignable load and a third sensor (11) for detecting connecting portions (9) between Fördergurtteilstücken (8) are fed. By means of the control device (10) an energy consumption relative to plant sections (13) and / or Fördergurtteilstücken (8) is determined.
