`Q = rho A V `

Enter a value for all fields

Conveying capacity is determined by speed, belt width and troughing angle and can be expressed as

`Q = rho A v`         (1)

where

• `Q` = conveyor capacity (kg/s, lb/s)
• `rho` = density (kg/m3, lb/ft3)
• `A` = cross-sectional area of the bulk solid on the belt (m2, ft2)
• `v` = belt velocity (m/s, ft/s)
