Use this calculator to calculate the force, torque and power required from a conveyor to move a load at an angle. If your conveyor is horizontal enter an angle of 0. Enter your values for the Mass, Diameter, Beltspeed, Friction and Angle; select your units as required.
Level Ground Conveyors. Horsepower required for conveyors transporting material on level ground: 1 hp (English horse power) = 745.7 W = 0.746 kW; 1 ft (foot) = 0.3048 m = 12 in = 0.3333 yd; Lifting Conveyors. With lifting conveyors add lifting power from the chart below to the level ground power from the chart above.
Mar 05, 2020· How to calculate conveyor capacity. Suppose the width of the conveyor is 40 cm, and it needs to move a part of dimension 20 cm x 25 cm. And stacking of part one over the other is not allowed. So the arrangement of part in the conveyor so as to get maximum capacity is by placing the two parts side by side. Please refer the picture below for more clarity.
Model TA, (a slider bed conveyor) 11' long requires 1/2 Hp motor at 65 Feet per minute for a total load of 320 pounds. You desire your conveyor to operate at 90 Feet Per Minute. Calculate as follows: (1/2 X 90) / 65 = .69 You should select the next highest horsepower or 3/4 Hp.
The Rulmeca Corporation Conveyor Drive Power Calculation Program “Design Imperial 7.30” may be used to add hopper drag load to a standard loading condition. As shown below, a conveyor with a length of 20 ft, a handling rate of 500 tph, and a belt speed of 100 fpm has been preloaded, showing that it requires approximately 1 HP to carry the load.

The Overhung Load Calculator can be used to calculate a more accurate overhung load onto a pulley drive shaft. The calculator uses information about drive component weights and geometry to estimate the overhung load for different conveyor operating conditions. The Overhung Load Calculator can be opened by navigating to the Pulley Tab in Belt

Conveyor capacity is determined by the belt speed, width and the angle of the belt and can be expressed as. Q = ρ A v (1) where . Q = conveyor capacity (kg/s, lb/s) ρ = density of transported material (kg/m 3, lb/ft 3) A = cross-sectional area of the bulk solid on the belt (m 2, ft 2)
L = conveyor length (m) ε = belt elongation, elastic and permanent (%) As a rough guideline, use 1,5 % elongation for textile belts. and 0,2 % for steel cord belts. Note: For long-distance conveyors, dynamic start-up calculations. may be required, because not all elements are set in motion simultaneously,
Rulmeca Corporation assists conveyor designers and technicians with bulk handling conveyor belt pull and power calculations in four ways: New Power Calculation Program (free online cloud-based program, CEMA 7 version, part of RCS, Rulmeca Calculation System) Original Power Calculation Program (free downloadable Excel program, CEMA 4 version)
In order to find the maximum tension is necessary to calculate the effective tension, that is, the force required to move the conveyor and the load at a constant speed. The calculation of the total tension is based on a constant speed of the belt including the necessary basic conditions to overcome the frictional resistance and tension forces.

Note for (2.1) & (2.5) Chain and material sliding in scraper and drag link conveyors to calculate chain pull additional parameters must be included. F2 = Coefficiency of Friction between material to be moved and sides of trough. L = portion of loaded conveyor. M =
A 42" belt conveyor 127'-9" long, 200 TPH @ 160 fpm Material conveyed is 65 pcf. May I ask what is the live load in terms of lbs./ft. ? I appreciate if you show me steps of calculation.
