Conveyor Belt Power Calc

Sizing a conveyor drive motor and not sure if your belt can handle the load? Conveyor Belt Power Calc uses CEMA-standard formulas to calculate belt speed, capacity, effective tension, and required horsepower — so you spec the right motor the first time. Select belt width, material type, conveyor length, lift height, and trough angle. Get instant results for belt capacity (tons/hr), effective tension (lbf), belt horsepower, and total power including drive losses. CEMA-BASED CALCULATIONS: - Effective tension: Te = L x f x (Wm + Wb) + H x Wm - Belt power: HP = Te x V / 33000 - 10% drive loss factor included - Capacity scaled by speed and trough angle BELT WIDTHS: - 18" through 96" standard widths - CEMA capacity table at 100 ft/min baseline - Belt weight per foot for each width MATERIAL DATABASE: - Dry sand and gravel, coal, crushed stone, iron ore - Grain, wood chips, limestone, wet earth - Friction factors per material type TROUGH ANGLES: - 20, 35, and 45 degree idler options - Capacity multiplier per angle QUICK CALC AND DETAILED MODES: - Quick Calc for fast field estimates - Detailed mode for full engineering inputs Built for mining engineers, quarry operators, and bulk material handling professionals.
