To determine the horsepower (HP) required for an aggregate conveyor:
1.Calculate the total weight of material to be conveyed.
2.Determine the speed at which the material will be conveyed.
3.Calculate the friction factor between the conveyor belt and the rollers.
4.Determine the height of lift (if any).
5.Use a conveyor power calculation formula to calculate the HP required.
A common formula used is: HP = (lb/hr) * (friction factor) * (vertical lift in feet) * (speed in feet per minute) / 33,000.
