  Tonnage Rate TPH. TPH. Required volumetric flow m3/hr.  
  Product Bulk Density Minimum. kg/m3. kg/m3.    
  Product Bulk Density Maximum. kg/m3. kg/m3.    
  Bucket mass empty (per bucket). kg. Calculated actual metric B.E capacity at 100% water level capacity m3/hr.  
  Bucket Capacity Y-Y Water level - Litres Litres Percentage fill of Water Level Y-Y %  
  Bucket Capacity X-X 100% full - Litres Litres Calculated actual metric B.E capacity at 100% Full capacity m3/hr.  
  Belt Speed (m/s) m/s. Percentage fill of Bucket 100% Full X-X %  
  Bucket spacing (mm) mm. Potential Capacity TPH at buckets 100% full TPH.  
  Dredge Factor:- "1" for Spaced Buckets, "2" for Continuous Buckets.      
  Pulley Center Distance (m) m.    
  Belt Mass / m. (kg/m) kg/m.    
  WorkingTension rating of belt kN/m width kN/m Design Tmax as calculated kN.  
  UltimateTension rating of belt kN/m width kN/m Te (Kn) kN.  
  Belt width (m). m. Unfactored power requirements    
  Pulley Diameter (m) m. Minimum calculated normal running power (kW) = kW.  
  Estimated pulley mass (kg) kg. Suggested Power for buckets 100% full = kW.  
                 
  Factor of safety of belt based on buckets 100% full Based on rated working tension Factor of safety of belt based on bucket fill at normal running capacity Based on rated working tension  
  Factor of safety of belt based on buckets 100% full Based on ultimate tension Factor of safety of belt based on bucket fill at normal running capcity = Based on ultimate tension
