Abstract
The article presents the research work carried out in the field of conveyor transport. The analysis of the calculation scheme for the calculation has been carried out according to the theory of flexible thread. The width of the conveyor rubber-tether belt has been implemented in mathematical modeling of optimization of cable arrangement. The calculation scheme for determining the cross-sectional area has been offered. It is evident from the calculated scheme that the area of the cross area of the belt section falling for one wire is determined as a trapezium area. The total linear load is determined per rope on the belt section. The presented results of theoretical research, have an applied value, and will be interesting for scientific and engineering workers engaged in research in the field of improvement of belt conveyors operation
