Thanks Matey help much appreciated. Control & Inverters are my area so happy with them just never had to work out power like this before. Will give SEW a call.

Thanks for your quick response i really appreciate all this advice. I have put forward all my informationa dn they are saying they wouldnt comment on the existing system and would only quote as if they were building a new one. The people who made the fluidrive no longer exist and the people who...
The system currently runs fine but was built in 1972 and we are having problems with Fluidrive's failing, costing nearly 8k each time. Motors & Gearboxes are very inefficient we have measured the currents being currently pulled and the primary only pulls 40 amps and motor full load is 75 amps so...
Hi All thanks for your responses
What other information is required & i will try provide it.
I did speak with a conveyor manufacturer and he told me for a new conveyor on my specification length, rate, speed, width conveyor, incline & volume of 0.96 T/metre3. He told me it would be 400kW.

We dont know how much it take to turn when full.
Ive attached a Word document with a schematic and brief description.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=1ced8054-00de-4a5a-9b25-5248c91bf0d7&file=Drive_Arrangement.doc
Hi desertfox
The conveyor is a coal conveyor as specified and need to transport coal at a rate of 3000 Tonnes/Hour, coal has volume of 0.96 Tonnes per cubic metre. The conveyor belt weighs 88tonnes itself. It takes 5 tonnes to turn the conveyor when empty, i used a lifting block n tackle...
Hi I'm looking for a calculation to work out the power required to move a conveyor. I have all sorts of information on the conveyor if anyone can help. The basics are its a Coal conveyor of 930 Metres long with 1.6M wide running at 3.14 m/min
Looking at putting a Motor, Gearbox & Inverter on it.
