The hourly capacity (Q) can be determined by using the following formula:
Q=AxVxρ
where A is the cross-sectional area of the bulk solid on the belt in m^2^, V is
the velocity of conveyor in m/s and ρ is the density of transported material in
kg/m^3^.
Substituting A=0.09m^2^, V=1.5m/s and ρ=593kg/m^3^ into the above
formula gives:
Q = 0.09 x 1.5 x 593
Q ≈ 80.1 kg/h.
The resultant force (F) can be determined by using the following formula:
F = Q x g x (sinθ + f x cosθ)
where Q is the hourly capacity in kg/h, g is the acceleration due to gravity in
m/s^2^, θ is the angle of repose in degrees, and f is the coefficient of friction
between the belt and material being conveyed.
Substituting Q=80.1kg/h, g=9.81m/s^2^, θ=30° and f=0.15 into the above
formula gives:
F = 80.1 x 9.81 x (sin30° + 0.15 x cos30°)
F ≈ 764 N.
The power requirement can be determined by using the following formula:
P=FxV/η
where F is the resultant force in N, V is the velocity of conveyor in m/s and η is
the electromotor efficiency.
Substituting F=764N, V=1.5m/s and η=0.85 into the above formula gives:
P = 764 x 1.5 / 0.85
P ≈ 1354 W.
I hope this helps!
