how to select motor HP for screw conveyor

Does any body know how to select motor horsepower for a screw conveyor? The conveyor ID is 458mm, screw shaft runs at 10RPM. Total length is 2.5m. The material in the conveyor is sweet corn.

Any answer or formula is highly appreciated.

thank you

RE: how to select motor HP for screw conveyor

You could try contacting a Company called Fenner Transmission in Blackburn i think.  They specialise in drives of all kinds and may help if you ask for their technical people.  I think their tel no is 01254 674171
