Hi , i'm currently trying to calculate the power of a motor for a flat belt conveyor for bagged feed .
Where can i get a simple set of formulas for this purpose?
Also i need to calculate the linear speed of the conveyor?
Here are some specifications about it:
Overall production : 43,2 tonh/h
Bags per minute : 24units
Bag mass : 30kg
Bag size : 0,18mx0,55mx0,8m

Review your text book from grade 8 arithmetic.
