Calculation Formula

HP per ton = Total Horsepower (HP) / Mass Flow Rate (tons per hour)

Where:
HP per ton: The power required per ton of material processed
Total Horsepower (HP): The total power consumed by the equipment
Mass Flow Rate (tons per hour): The amount of material processed per hour

Result

HP per ton: 0.00

HP per ton calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the HP per ton calculator and its working principles for industrial applications.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Mass Flow Rate in tons per hour. This is the amount of material being processed by the equipment.
  2. Enter the Total Horsepower (HP) consumed by the equipment.
  3. Click the Calculate button to compute the HP per ton.
  4. The result will be displayed in the results section.

Understanding HP per Ton

The HP per ton is a measure of the power efficiency of a processing equipment. It indicates how many horsepower is required to process one ton of material per hour. A lower HP per ton value means more efficient equipment.

Example Application

For example, if a conveyor belt system processes 50 tons of material per hour and consumes 15 horsepower, the HP per ton would be:

HP per ton = 15 HP / 50 tons/hour = 0.3 HP/ton

Practical Uses

This calculator can be used by engineers and technicians to:

  • Design and select appropriate processing equipment
  • Optimize existing equipment for better efficiency
  • Compare different equipment options
  • Estimate power consumption and costs
