Calculating Conveyor Power for Bulk Handling | Rulmeca Corp
Since one horsepower (HP) = 33,000 ft-lbs/min, required conveyor drive power may be expressed in HP as follows, (Te in lbs) x (V in fpm)/ ( (33,000 ft-lbs/min)/HP) = HP. After calculating Te, it is important to calculate T2 slip (slack side tension required to resist slippage of the belt on the pulley.)
