Sizing a material handling blower

Sizing a material handling blower

Sizing a material handling blower

(OP)
I have a trim system that pulls paper trim through ducting, into a fan, and blows it up to another location.

The current system delivers 4900 cfm at 12" static pressure.  The fan has a 30 HP motor on it.  I want to look at the operation and size a suitable blower/motor to see if the existing is sized correctly.  

Any thoughts on how to size this?  

RE: Sizing a material handling blower

Twin City Fan & Blower has literature available on their website that may be of interest to you. www.tcf.com

Two publications in particular are:
Engineering Resource Guide - ERG-100
The Use of Fans in Pneumatic Conveying - ED-3300
