ABSTRACT:
A method of feeding material to a belt to preclude the belt from lifting off its support in vertical concave curves, both when the belt motor is driving the belt and when the belt motor is acting as a brake, is disclosed. When the belt motor is driving the belt, the material is initially fed at a reduced rate to deposit a reduced layer of material on the belt until the leading edge of the reduced layer has entered the most downstream vertical curve of the belt, at which time the rate of feed is increased. The feed rate is increased, in two or more increments, until a full load is carried by the belt. When the belt motor is acting as a brake, the feed rate is initially reduced partially, to deposit a reduced layer of material on the belt, which will remain in the most upstream vertical concave curve until the trailing edge of the full load has been discharged from the belt. Thereafter, the rate of deposit of material on the belt is diminished further, to a lower value or to zero.
