Belt Conveyor Capacity Calculator (TPH)

Calculate belt throughput from material load cross-section, speed, bulk density and loading factor.

Belt Conveyor Capacity Calculator (TPH)

FREE ONLINE TOOL
Material load and belt speed
Load areaTPH = area × speed × density
Formula and assumptions

Vh = 3600 A v F; TPH = Vh ρ / 1000.

Enter the fully loaded material cross-section, not belt width; loading factor applies once. Metric tonnes. Excludes motor power, tension, incline derating and belt selection.

A=0.1 m², v=2 m/s, ρ=1600 kg/m³, F=80%: 921.6 t/h.
