Head Pulley Properties

Head Is Discharge - Under normal circumstances, the Head Pulley is the point of discharge where material leaves the belt and therefore the Head Is Discharge property is set to True by default. If a conveyor is modelled representing where the discharge is not over the head pulley, for example a skyline tripper, then the Head Is Discharge property can be set to False. The profile display will show the material trajectory at the head end if True and will be removed if False.

Head Transition Length - Is theoretically the distance from the last trough idler to the center of the head pulley, as no idlers are shown, this distance is from where the belt transforms from a troughed belt until it becomes flat over the pulley.

Trajectory Distance - The discharge distance after the material leaves the belt to the snap point, this distance is used to set out where the material will fall taking into consideration the material type and belt speed.
