Either ratio of rpm of motor be assumed

in one revolution of Sprocket conveyor will move 120

mm so devide 6000 by 120 will give RPM at Sprocket ,
further gearbox will reduce speed by 60 as ratio is 60, Motor RPM Selected as 3000
further devide by 60 will give 3000 rpm as output of
motor

Motor OP Speed Divided by (OP SPEED Divided by

Gear Box ratio selected as 63 approx
Sprocket dia)

multiply no. of job into each job weight

multiply no. of fixs. into each fix. weight (3.66 kg)

multiply no. of slats into each slat weight (6 kg)

Torque of motor will be 465.7 without

Including FOS Gearbox

where P= watts, N=rpm, T= n.m

Power= ( 2 * Pi * N *T) /60

Power of motor will be 2.2 Kw
