    Frank Vega Ortega
    This document provides a formula and instructions for calculating the necessary power required for bulk material handling conveyors. The formula takes into account factors like frictional resistance, friction in conveyor pulleys, distance between components, weight of belt and rotating parts, velocity, capacity, and lift. Tables are included with standard values for factors C and Gm based on distance and belt width. The power calculation does not include components like belt scrapers or hoppers. Further calculations are shown for determining required torque, belt pull, and power consumption once the motor power is selected.

    Power calculation BULK Handling

    In order to calculate the necessary power required the following formula may be used:
    CxfxL
    Qt x H
    P = ( 3.6 x Gm x V + Qt ) +
    367
    367
    P = Necessary power (kW)
    C = Frictional resistance in belts, bearings etc. (Fig.I)
    f = Friction in conveyor Pulleys is fixed to 0.025 - 0.030.
    L = Centre-to-centre distance between drum motor and idler Pulley (m)
    Gm = Weight of belt and rotating parts in conveyor Pulleys as well as idler Pulley (Fig. II)

    Velocity (m/sec.)
    Capacity of the belt (t/h)
    Lift (m)
    Belt width (mm)

    The power calculation does NOT include the extra power required for belt scrapers, ploughs, cleaners or receiving hoppers.

    After choice of drum motor power, the required belt pull and power consumption may be calculated as shown below:
    Required Torque

    Required Belt Pull

    DxP
    M = 500 x
    V

    1000 x P
    F =
    V

    M = torque (Nm)
    D = diameter (m)
    V = speed (m/sec)

    F = belt pull (N)


    P = power (kW)
    V = speed (m/sec.)

    Power Consumption (Accurate to +/-20%)


    P x 1000
    l = 0.9 x
    U

    I = power consumption(A)
    P = power (kW)
    U = voltage (V)
