Upgrading a conveyor system

[QUOTE="Volantis92, post: 6056339, member: 650844"] 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 conveyor is 17m I have a conveyor with 3 idlers on an angle of 45 deg, and assuming an angle of repose of 25 deg. currently there is a 18KW motor on there, and let's assume the idler pulley barrel is 300mm. I want to upgrade to a 30KW motor. How do I go about working out the max possible T p/hr? i assume i need the speed of the motor, get velocity. Find the volume of the material over the conveyor length? Any help is appreciated. Cheers [/QUOTE]
