What it calculates
The “Belt Conveyor Capacity” calculator computes Conveyor capacity in t/h from 5 parameters: belt width (m), belt speed (m/s), bulk density of material (t/m³), troughing angle (0 = flat belt) (°), surcharge angle of material (°).
Applied in business management, unit economics, and financial modeling.
Example calculation
With parameters Belt width = 0.8 m, Belt speed = 1.6 m/s, Bulk density of material = 0.8 t/m³, Troughing angle (0 = flat belt) = 30 °, Surcharge angle of material = 20 ° the result is 356.68 t/h (Horizontal conveyor, uniform loading).
How to use
- Enter belt width, belt speed, bulk density of material, troughing angle (0 = flat belt) and surcharge angle of material — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
- Conveyor capacity (t/h) is calculated automatically as you type.
