Conveyor Speed Verification
Introduction
Test that the conveyor speed is accurate to verify that calibration is correct. Refer
to the following procedure.
Tools or Materials
Needed
• Stopwatch
• Marking Pen
• Tape Measure
Procedure
• Mark a place on the mesh belt or rail to use as a reference spot.
• Using a stop watch, measure the time it takes for that point to travel a
defined distance.
• Use the following formula to calculate speed:
• Speed = Length/Time
When a conveyor is the combination type that has both a pin chain and a mesh
belt, the pin chain is the determining component for speed calibration.
