  1. I will calculate to figure out the pullys and thiming belt I need to order. When you say pully diameter, do you mean outer diameter/edge of the timig pulley?

  2. I appreciate your help in providing me a brief equation or rule of thumb to calculate the specific energy consumption as Kwh/Mt/Km , belt speed = 2.5 meter per second, trough angle = 30 , surcharge = 25, material = excavated soil (sand) , lump size less than 150 mm , density =1,550 kg/M3 , belt length = 5 Km (multiple flights ) , Flow = 3500 to 4,000 Mt/Hr , Route inclination= zero inclination, Width = 1,200 mm , considering these inputs , how much electricity will be consumed in electrical motor as Kwh per metric ton (Weight) per Km (distance)
