Hello all,

For my school project I need to calculate many aspects of a belt conveyor. I have already completed most of the calculations for a standard belt conveyor but I got stuck on an important part. The part I am talking about is the addition of a hopper on the belt conveyor, where I specifically need to calculate the pull out power required by the belt conveyor to pull out different kinds of material. I have found many different documents online about hopper/silo/feeder calculations but they are all slightly different from each other and most of them lack important information. Would it be possible for anyone to recommend or send me a helpful and trustworthy source for this matter?

I hope someone can send me into the right direction and I will be looking forward for a reply!
