Horsepower of inclined screw conveyors – This section can remain the same in reference to the calculations. Modify final paragraph discussing drive arrangement:

Understanding a basic conveyor belt calculation will ensure your conveyor design is accurate and is not putting too many demands on your system.

Although a given conveyor may be adequate insofar as material conveying capacity is concerned, the horsepower available to operate the system may exceed the torque capacities of standard components during overloaded or stalled conditions.

If, for example, a screw conveyor requires 3.5 horsepower as determined by the horsepower formula, a 5 horsepower motor must be used, and it is desirable that all power transmitting elements be capable of safely handling the full 5 horsepower.

Inclined screw conveyors solve the basic need for conveying bulk materials a speci˛c distance while elevating it. Because of equipment stack up, inclined screw conveyors are needed to create the optimum plant layout and reduce the number of pieces of equipment in the process ˚ow. Typical applications for inclined screw conveyors include receiving …

40-percent on inclines up to 20-degrees. A screw conveyor with U-trough and 2/3-pitch screw is sufficient for most applications. Loss in efficiency can also be overcome by increasing the speed or the diameter of the screw conveyor. Additional horsepower is required to overcome gravity and bulk material fall back. s )NCLINE"ETWEEN AND
