Due to the material and the conveyor belt is almost no relative movement, not only the running resistance is small, and cargo attrition and fragmentation are small and high productivity. These are beneficial to reduce production costs. Conveyor line adaptable and flexible. Belt conveyor transmission distance can be determined according to the needs of the length of a few meters, long up to 10km. Can be installed in a small tunnel, can also be erected in the ground traffic chaos and dangerous areas of the sky. Belt conveyor can materials in coal storage yard heap below the roadway reclaimer, when needed, but also the pile of different materials are mixed. The materials can be simply from the head of the conveyor unloading, but also through the plough type discharge hoppers or mobile tripper car, on the conveyor belt length direction at any point discharge.

In some belt conveyor equipment, the use of high accuracy of the roller and high performance of the tape is conducive to reducing the work resistance of the belt conveyor. Roller revolving resistance and forward conveyor belt conveyor main drag resistance accounted for 50%, the calculation formula of the belt conveyor 80m beyond the total resistance and total resistance is in accordance with the length of conveyor selection such as loading coefficient, and device and working conditions related to simulation of friction coefficient, length of conveyor, roller bearing branch length of the rotation of local quality return branch, roller rotation per unit length of local quality, quality, unit conveyor belt conveying material per unit mass (and belt conveyor transport capacity, material bulk density and speed on friction roller) forward main resistance and special sweeper friction tape special additional resistance factors.
