Feed Mill Capacity Calculations

Silo Capacity Calculator
Silo Capacity = 𝝅 𝟒 × D2h × Stocking Density OR = 𝝅 r2*h
D= Diameter,
r= radius
h= Height


Elevator Capacity (tons/hour) Calculator
Elevator Capacity= 𝝅𝑫𝑽𝑪 ×𝟔𝟎 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎*𝑺

D= Pulley diameter (inches)
V= elevator rpm
C= Capacity of one bucket
S= distance between 2 buckets (inches)


Conveyer Capacity (Tons/hour Calculator
Elevator Capacity = 𝑳×𝑾×𝑯×r𝒑𝒎×𝟔𝟎 /𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎
L= Length
W= Width
H= Working height


Elevator or Conveyor rpm Calculator
rpm= 𝑮𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒓𝒑𝒎 ×𝑨/ 𝑩
A= No. of cog teeth attached with gear
B= No. of cog teeth attached in opposite direction of A

When choosing the boilers, please pay attention to the capacity of the boiler , the amount of steam required must be not les than 6% of pellet mill
