    Belt Conveyor Capacity - Calculator

    Uploaded by

    Rolando Daclan
    This document provides a preliminary power estimate for a belt conveyor system. It estimates the conveyor will have a nominal capacity of 170 tons per hour. The required power is estimated to be 163.5 kW to drive the empty conveyor, lift the material, and convey the material horizontally while accounting for power losses. The running tension on the belt is estimated to be 84% of the belt rating, which is okay but the document recommends checking acceleration and drift conditions.
