Figure the HP requirements for your incline drag conveyor.  
  Enter the required values in the red cells below.  
 
1. Determine the overall length of the conveyor, including the curve section.  
  The total length of the conveyor X the BPH divided by 55,000 =HP  
  Length ft. BPH HP  
  Required bushel per hour, corn  
   
2. Determine the discharge height in feet and multiply by the BPH desires.    
  Divide the result by 26,500= HP    
  Height ft BPH HP  
  Required bushel per hour, corn  
   
3. If a curve section is used, divide the BPH by 1325    
  If no curve is used ignore this step and leave value at "0".  
  BPH BPH HP  
  Required bushel per hour, corn  
     
    Total HP  
Above HP is raw, required horsepower. Round UP to the next size motor. Due to differences in math processors, we cannot guarantee calculations will be exact. If you need an exact calculation, contact the Sudenga Engineering Department at 1-888-783-3642 with your questions.
