feed to the conveyor, the cross-sectional area of the load on the conveyor belt is the determinant of the belt conveyor capacity. CEMA Recommendation 1. Select the belt width and speed based on a capacity design factor of 80% the theoretical maximum tons per hour (reduction of capacity). This allows for surge loading and reduces spillage due to

ContactBelt Conveyor Capacity Table 1. Determine the surcharge angle of the material. The surcharge angle, on the average, will be 5 degrees to 15 degrees less than the angle of repose. (ex. 27° 12° = 15°) 2. Determine the density of the material in pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft3). 3. Choose the idler shape. 4. Select a suitable conveyor belt
