    Is Upgrading to a Wider Conveyor Belt Worth the Investment?

    Thanks for that mate, So assuming I have incline angle of 15 deg. my equation would be: T p/hr = 3.6 * (cross sectional area of trough) * (belt speed m/s) * (material density) * Cos(15)? Only problem I have is getting an accurate calc for the cross sectional area of the trough. How would I do...

    Is Upgrading to a Wider Conveyor Belt Worth the Investment?

    Hey guys, some insight to the following problem I have here would be helpful. I need to see if a conveyor is worth upgraded (i.e. see what the output Tonne/per hour is) from a belt 745mm wide, idler pulley 800mm wide... to a 800mm belt and 850mm wide idler pulley. Lets assume the length of the...
