Step 5 Calculate weight on belt
Your solution
Using the belt speed established in STEP 4, you can now calculate the weight on a belt
using the simple formula below.
Conveyor length
Worked Example 70 tonnes/hr x 0.28 ÷ 0.7 m/s = 28 kg/m
Your Solution
tonnes/hr x 0.28 ÷
m/s =
kg/m

To establish the correct motor/gearbox unit for your application you will need to calculate
the Newton force required to drive your conveyor. Using the information you have already
obtained in STEPS 1 and 5 this can be calculated as shown in the following example.
