My company is planning to invest in building a Soil Belt conveyor (Overland Conveyor) moving soil ( sand ) from point A to point B,


Belt conveyor overall distance = 5,000 meters
Number of Links: Each belt is 700 meters long, then all belt spools out the material by feeding Chutes
belt conveyor is horizontal with trivial inclinations
The flow rate is around 2,000 Ton/hour
belt speed is 2.5 meters/Sec
belt width = 1800 mm
Surcharge Angle = 30 degrees
Troughing Angle = 45 degrees

What is the specific electric consumption I have to assume through the feasibility study phase? what is the value of electricity needed to move 1 Mt for 1 Km as SEC Specific Energy Consumption KW/ton/Km?
