A bulk belt conveyor is to be used to convey dry sand from a storage hopper to a cement mixer. The conveyor is to be 75 long. Using a 30-wide belt, the sand is to be elevated a distance of 24 at a speed of 600 fpm.

a. Is the angle of incline feasible?

b. Is the speed feasible?

c. Assuming the angle of incline and speed are feasible, what will be the delivered capacity if the sand has a density of 50 lb/ft3?
