Understanding Conveyor Belt Calculations | Sparks Belting
Inclined Conveyors: HP= ( (P x B)+ (P+M)x F x S)/33,000 Effective Tension Pull needed to move belt and load horizontally: E= F x (P+M) Tight Side Tension Total tension to move belt and load horizontally: E 2 = E+E 1 Slack Side Tension Additional tension required to prevent slippage on drive pulley: E 1 =E x K Operating Tension
