CALCULATION - CHAIN / PAN SPEED:
L To Calculate Chain / Pan speed:
A W S (fpm) = 33.3* X STPH
L B X D X Wt X VF X .007
Maximum VF = .75 for run of mine material
L Pan Speeds .80 for 24" (600mm) lumps
.85 for 12" (300mm) lumps
Ores - .25 m/sec .90 for 6" (150mm) lumps
Coal - .40 m/sec D = Depth of material bed (inches)
* use 36.8 for metric tons (2204 lbs)
Notes: 1) "L2" is the length of the hopper opening at the bottom of the hopper or insert directly above the skirts.
