Title: Hyd. Motor Calcs
Post by: weirmeister on May 11, 2013, 08:15:45 PM
I'm building a conveyor that will transport firewood rounds to my splitter.  I need help in determining what size hyd. motor I need to operate the belt conveyor.  The conveyor is 15 long and the belt is 24 inches wide.  The belt will ride/slide on solid 1/4 inch plate.  Rollers would have been better but we are dropping rounds onto the belt from a skidsteer and the rollers won't hold up. 

Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks

Doug
