Notes and Comments:


1. This design method does not cover conveyors of over 3000 feet length, horizontally curved conveyors, head and tail driven conveyors, high lift conveyors, large decline with braking requirements or conveyors with undulating geometrics. 2. This design method uses actual expected belt loading. It is worthwhile checking the horsepower requirements for a fully loaded belt in case of future higher capacity requirements. 3. Motor starting torque characteristics and conveyor acceleration should be checked in depth to ensure compatibility between motor and conveyor.
