T1, t2 vs power

GENTTLMEN:

does anybody can tell me such infromation:

For one standard belt system, the rated design capacity will be 3000t/h, if the load changed to 1000t/h, but the gavity tension always the same as 3000t/h condition, does the conveyor will consumbale more power? how can to caculate that? i am will apprixiate your help.

thanks a lot

There are a number of ways you can calculate it, though with a few assumptions (assuming the “same conveyor” at the same speed etc) you can yield:

Power = k x Q

Hence 1/3 throughput will yield circa 1/3 power.

The power is generally, relatively, insensitive to take up tension.

Imagine the startup conditions when the belt is not conveying material.

Does the conveyor absorb more or less than then running at rated capacity?

As Lyle says, power is a function of capacity.
