Conveyors
Conveyor capacity is determined by the belt speed, width and the angle of the belt - and can be expressed as Q = ρ A v (1) where Q = conveyor capacity (kg/s, lb/s) ρ = density of transported material (kg/m3, lb/ft3) A = cross-sectional area of the bulk solid on the belt (m2, ft2) v = conveyor belt velocity (m/s, ft/s)
