A tandem drive unit 24 on a flexible conveyor belt 12 comprises a primary drive pulley 20 and a secondary drive pulley 22 driven by a primary drive motor 26, 28 and a secondary drive motor 34 respectively. The primary drive motor 26, 28 has a predetermined full-load speed and the secondary drive motor 34 has a full-load speed which is not greater than a theoretical speed value for the secondary drive pulley 22 obtained by calculating the speed differential between the primary and secondary pulleys as a function of the horsepower applied to the first and secondary drive pulleys and the modulus of elasticity of the conveyor belt 12. Alternatively, a secondary drive motor with a predetermined full-load speed may be selected and the required full-load speed of the primary drive motor may be determined. A method of non-mechanically coupling a primary and a secondary drive pulley in a tandem conveyor drive of a conveyor belt is also provided.
