Simple Torque Calculation for Belt Conveyor
If I ever need to calculate approximate conveyor power, for example on simple in-plant inclined conveyors, I often do the following simple calculation. Power = t/h x lift x 2.72 x 1.3 kW From this you can easily calculate the torque, if you have the speed and pulley diameter from the following: Torque = 9.55 x power divided by pulley rpm kN-m
