Does anyone have the formulas to calculate the number of boxes vs conveyer belt speeds? I have 5 automatic conveyer systems that according to the installation contracts were designed to supply 22 boxes per minute. I need to speed them up to allow for 24 boxes per minute.
conveyer vs box speed calculations??

So assuming the size of your box is 200mm.
22 (boxes in a minute) x 200 = 4400mm / 1000 = 4.4 metres per minute.
So assuming the gap in between each box is 100mm then
22 (gaps) x 100 = 2200mm / 100 = 2.2m/m
So the total speed for 22 boxes per minute + gaps is 6.6m/m
Going by the same figures 24 boxes per minute would be 7.0m/m
Hope this helps

Could it be this simple...?
24 / 22 = 1.091
Current speed for 22 boxes/min. x 1.091 = speed required for 24 boxes/min.

please check 24*760=18240/1000=18.24 m/m
24*610=14640=14.640 m/m
total speed = 18.24+14.640=32.88 m/m
32.88 metres=107.88 feet/min
Is this correct?
number of cases*length of case(mm)/1000=no space rate (metres)
number of cases*gap between each case(mm)/1000=rate of gaps (metres)
total belt rate metres/min=no space rate+rate of gaps
24*610=14640=14.640 m/m
total speed = 18.24+14.640=32.88 m/m
32.88 metres=107.88 feet/min

rate=speed/pitch
eg. 3600mm/min at 150mm pitch = 24 cases per minute
