Course objectives
This course is aimed at managers, engineers, technologists and other personnel in the resources industries who would benefit from a better
understanding of the design and operation of belt conveyors.
The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the subject of belt conveying. It will present the fundamental concepts related to the static and
dynamic design of belt conveyor systems. It will provide the understanding necessary for designing and selecting suitable equipment for reliable bulk
solids handling and transportation, and for the efficient operation of belt conveyors.
It is recommended that participants have prior knowledge of belt conveyor standards as a basis for obtaining maximum benefit from this course.

Professor Craig Wheeler is an Associate Professor in Mechanical
Engineering at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He worked for
10 years with BHP Billiton in Australia in a variety of engineering
positions, including maintenance, production and design. Since joining
the University of Newcastle, he has worked as a Research Fellow at the
Centre for Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies, and more recently an
Associate Director of TUNRA Bulk Solids.
The subject matter of this course will include:
• an overview of open and closed belt conveying systems;
• static design principles;
• design of horizontal and vertical curves;
• conveyor belt manufacturing considerations;
• dynamic analysis;
• high speed belt conveyor design and considerations;
• bulk solid and conveyor belt interactions; and
• belt conveyor maintenance strategies.
The course is offered over 5 consecutive days. Participants have a
choice of either attending the full 5-day course, complete a subsequent
assignment and write an examination enabling them to achieve a full Wits
Certificate of Competence; or just to attend the 5-day course and receive
a Wits Certificate of Attendance.
Professor Gabriel Lodewijks is a Professor of Transport
Engineering and Logistics in the Faculty of Mechanical, Maritime
and Materials Engineering at Delft University of Technology, The
Netherlands. He is Chairman of the Department of Marine and Transport
Engineering in the same faculty, and President of Conveyer Experts B.V.
Professor Lodewijks has extensive international industrial consulting
experience in the area of belt conveying and has participated in various
international conferences in this field. He is a Fellow of the South African
Institute of Materials Handling.
