How much electricity does the conveyor belt consume per hour?

The power consumption of the belt conveyor varies depending on the equipment power, operating speed, and load, but can be referenced through the following typical scenarios:

Industrial belt line

The power range of conventional industrial conveyor belts typically falls between 1.5 kW and 30 kW. Assuming an average power of 10 kW, continuous operation for one hour consumes approximately 10 kWh of electricity.

Small Transport Device

Low-power belt conveyors (e.g., sorting systems) may consume as little as 0.5-3 kWh per hour, depending on the motor's rated power.

Influencing factors

Load weight: Power consumption is 20%-50% higher when fully loaded compared to when unloaded.

Operating speed: The frequency conversion speed regulation equipment can significantly reduce energy consumption in low-speed mode.

It is recommended to directly calculate using the power (unit: kW) indicated on the equipment nameplate, with the formula being:

Energy consumption (kWh) = Power (kW) × Operation time (hours).
