Travelling Tripper Calculation

This document contains calculations for determining the power required for a tripper conveyor system. It includes calculations for tripper resistance from factors like weight, lift height, belt tension, acceleration, etc. It then calculates the total tripper resistance and motor power required, taking into account the tripper speed. It provides the selected motor power which meets the requirement with a 20% margin. The calculations are shown for three different tripper designs.
