Capacity of flight conveyor in tons/hr is given by (where, W & D = width and depth of flight respectively in metre V = speed of the conveyor, metre/second ρ = bulk density of material, kg/m3) ?

Correct answer: A. 3.6 W.D.V.ρ

  • A. 3.6 W.D.V.ρ
  • B. 3.6 W.D.V
  • C. 3.6 W.V.ρ
  • D. 3.6 D.V.ρ

Explanation

Volumetric throughput is WD V, and multiplying by bulk density gives kg/s; conversion from kg/s to tonnes per hour supplies the factor 3.6. Hence capacity is 3.6WDVρ tonnes per hour.
