Purpose: Analysis of impact of extension degree of a telescopic trough installed on a drive end of a chain conveyor as well as time of conveyor start up on load unevenness of electric motors of conveyor’s drives. Design/methodology/approach: Analysis of load unevenness of electric motors of a chain conveyor was made basing on the current mean values of electric motors and mean driving torques of driving drums. Time curves were obtained from numerical simulation of operation of the 100 meters long chain conveyor of E260 trough profile and equipped with two 34x126 chains. Findings: The analysis has shown purposefulness of development of the algorithm to control the conveyor operation improving its drives cooperation. Research limitations/implications: Due to impossibility of carrying out tests in real conditions, a model of the conveyor was used for numerical simulations of the selected criteria operational states. The model was verified by comparison of the numerical simulation results with the results obtained on the testing facility located in Kopex Machinery in Tarnowskie Góry, Poland. The developed model will be used to verify the conveyor’s control algorithm. Originality/value: Numerical simulations of the conveyor operation were made in co-simulation technique integrating the software environment used in analysis of multi-body systems with MatLab Simulink software. Development of such integration will enable testing the functionality of the conveyor’s control algorithm at changeable initial conditions and different states of conveyor operation.
