# Industrial Specification: RAP Conveyor

## 1. Technical Definition
A conveyor system specifically designed to transport Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) material within asphalt recycling plants.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 m/s belt speed, 15-75 tons/hour material throughput, 0-45° incline angle**. Failure boundary: **Belt tensile stress exceeding 25 MPa (EP400/3 belt rating), bearing temperature exceeding 120°C (SKF C4 clearance limit), motor current exceeding 110% FLA for &gt;30 seconds**, Mechanism: **Material adhesion-induced belt slippage (coefficient of friction &lt;0.35), RAP aggregate abrasion (Mohs hardness 6-7), thermal expansion mismatch between steel frame (+11.7 μm/m·K) and rubber belt (+80 μm/m·K) at &gt;60°C**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Tractive Power & Resistance Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = \frac{F \cdot v}{\eta}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures motor torque capacity exceeds operational inertia.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| F | Total Tractive Resistance | Engineering Constant |
| v | Belt Speed | Engineering Constant |
| \eta | Efficiency | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| RAP moisture content exceeding 5% by mass | 8 | Material adhesion to belt surface causing belt tracking deviation &gt;15 mm | Install infrared moisture sensors (2.5-3.5 μm wavelength) with automated bypass gate at feed hopper |
| Asphalt binder polymerization at 65-85°C ambient temperature | 8 | Aggregate-belt interface friction coefficient increase from 0.4 to 0.7 | Implement belt surface coating with PTFE (coefficient of friction 0.04) and active cooling to maintain &lt;55°C |
