    The document provides calculations for sizing the drive requirements of a screw conveyor moving 1,250 lbs of material per minute based on factors such as diameter, bearing type, flighting, and fill level. It determines that a 4.51 HP motor is required running at 133.6 RPM to convey the material through a 10-inch diameter, 25-foot long screw conveyor filled to 45% capacity. Charts are included to account for factors like conveyor loading, flight type, and material properties in the torque and HP requirements.

    The document appears to be calculations for sizing the components of a screw conveyor system based on production rate, material properties, and conveyor design parameters.

    The conveyor calculator is being used to determine the required torque, horsepower, and speed for Conveyor #1 of a project based on a production rate of 1,250 lb/min.

    The conveyor calculator considers factors like production rate, material density, screw diameter, fill level, flighting type, loading level, conveyor length, angle and efficiency to determine the required torque and horsepower.

    The top flange is formed from the same sheet as the trough, resulting in a lightweight, yet rigid housing section.
    End Flanges are jig-welded for perfect alignment between sections.
