Conveyor Volume Output

The Conveyor Volume Output calculator computes the volume of some commodity that can be moved by a conveyor system in some amount of time.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (V) - Volume of material carried per square meter on the conveyor.
• (W) - Width of conveyor
• (TS) - Transfer Speed of conveyor
• (RT) - Total Run Time of the conveyor

Conveyor Volume Output (CVO): The calculator returns the number of units processed on the conveyor in the specified time.

The Math Science

A conveyor belt moves at a fixed rate.  One can estimate the volume conveyed over a period of time if the unit carrying capacity is provided.  The formula for the Conveyor Volume Output is:

   CVO = V/m² ⋅ W ⋅ TS ⋅ RT

where:

• CVO = Conveyor Volume Output
• V = Volume carried on a square meter of conveyor area
• W = Width of conveyor
• TS = Transfer Speed of conveyor
• RT = Run Time of conveyor
