Re: Sugar Belt Conveyor
It depends on various information (i.e., does the end user / Principal etc have particular requirements, the application - say as a feeder and your calculation method etc).
If you go for a search, you may find some useful information from previous posts.

Re: Sugar Belt Conveyor
The belt width is sized so that at 80% fill you are at design load capacity (the other 20% is for temporary overloads) but you need to size the motor for the conveyor if it was full edge to edge or someone will be doing a lot of shoveling and not be very happy with the designer. Think about "What do I need to start that conveyor if it was fully loaded edge to edge?".
You also need to seriously look at what type of motor you will install. A standard NEMA A or B motor will not have enough locked rotor torque to start under a full load condition. You will need to look at the NEMA C or NEMA D motor range. Ask your supplier to give you the motor curves. ■

Thanks a lot, this site is the better. ■
Sugar Belt Conveyor
Dear Sir,
I'm calculating a system of conveyors for sugar, as there is in peak power'm using design factor equal to 1, ie nominal capacity = design capacity at 80% filling, even with the free edge.
I can calculate motors for filling 80% or 100%?
Consider 100%, considering the freeboard empty.
