Belt conveyors for bulk materials
a typical belt conveyor are: (a) the belt, which forms the moving and supporting surface on which the conveyed material rides; (b) the idlers, which form the supports for carrying the belt; (c) the pulleys, which support and move the belt and control its tension; (d) the drive, which imparts power to one or more pulleys

Conveyor Belt-Tension Rating
The higher the rated tension of the belt, the more critical the compatibility of the belt with the structure and rolling components becomes. Each conveyor structure will require a belt with a specific tension rating. Factors affecting this decision are: Length of structure; Incline angle of the conveyor; Desired capacity; Width of belt

Belt Conveyors
Pulleys are an important part of belt conveyors that can't be left out. They help keep the drive belt tight and change the direction of the belt's movement. Belt conveyor pulleys can be smooth, have a rubber coating, or be made of cast rubber. They can be drive, tension, motorized, snub, wing, or bend pulleys.

How to Properly Tension Your Conveyor Belts
Next, perform a "pluck" test. With the conveyor belt running, gently pluck the belt and observe its vibration. A properly tensioned belt will vibrate evenly along its length. It may be too loose if the belt vibrates more at the ends than in the middle. Conversely, if the belt's vibration is dampened or nonexistent, it may be too tight.

Belt tension is a substantial factor in conveyor operation; belt tension that is too loose can cause a number of problems, including mistracking, unpredictable behavior, fugitive material, and excessive belt wear or damage. Proper tension is also important in ensuring that the belt has enough friction to prevent slippage at the head pulley.

Belt Tensioning Methods for Small Package Conveyors
As shown in the figure below (Figure A), the tension on the belt is accomplished by turning the screw at the end of a conveyor. This pushes the bearing block towards the end of the conveyor, which adds tension to the belt. There is another, identical jack-screw located on the opposite side of the roller.

The history of belt conveyors dates back to 1830 and started from slide sawdust put in steel grooves with flat belts and other wastes. In 1850, the world's first grain conveyor was invented, in which rollers were used instead of steel grooves, and curved steel rods were used at both ends of the rollers to form grooves for leather belts.
