Abstract—For design of discharge openings and receiving chutes, it is necessary to know the trajectory of material leaving the head pulley in a conveyor system. Trajectory of material is fixed by the angle of separation of material from the belt and the vertical ordinates from the tangent line drawn at the point of separation on head pulley. This program is for plotting the “Material Discharge Trajectories” for any Belt-Conveyor system viz., Horizontal/Incline/Decline Belt Conveyors. This program has been developed on MS-Excel platform and its output is available for use in drafting software like CADIAN/AUTOCAD, etc. Index Terms—Belt conveyor, CADIAN/AUTOCAD, MS-EXCEL, Pulley, Trajectory
