BELT CONVEYOR DESIGN PROGRAM
HELIX delta-T is a powerful computer software package developed to assist materials handling design engineers and equipment suppliers with conveyor design and optimisation. Helix Technologies' research and development of this software began in 1992 and delta-T now has more than a thousand users in 25 countries who depend on the program to provide consistent, accurate and cost effective belt conveyor and material handling designs. Features of the new delta-T version 6 program include:
•Automatic Selection of Belt and Tension, Power Calculations.
•Equipment Selection from Databases for Belts, Idlers, Pulleys & Shafts, Gearboxes, Motors, Fluid Couplings, Brakes etc.
•New Equipment databases for Shaft and Drive couplings and conveyor holdbacks have been added in version 6
•Draw a sketch of the conveyor Profile and also view a scale drawing and a 3D model of the conveyor - use Drag and Drop to add Pulleys, Drives, loading Hoppers
•Calculate concave and convex Vertical Curves including belt lift off radii, edge tensions and centre tensions
•Horizontal Curve calculations - design curved conveyors including banking angle and belt drift calculations for all operating conditions
•Calculate using CEMA, ISO 5048 or the new Viscoelastic method for low resistance rubber belts
•Add any number of Conveyor Pulleys, Drives, Loading points, Trippers, Brakes etc.
•Over 70 reports can be viewed, printed or exported to Word, PDF files or Excel etc.
.You can merge multiple selected reports into a single PDF file.
•Delta-T6 has been completely re-written in Microsoft Visual Studio and uses the latest software development tools from Microsoft. It is written in a development language called C# and uses the MS Common Language Runtime compiled for .Net with xml data. This technology is the latest available from Microsoft and this makes it compatible with the latest operating systems including Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and also 32bit and 64bit systems.
