| First 3-Roll Idler should be placed 1.5 x belt width from centerline of pulley. First 2-Roll Idler should be placed 1 x belt width from centerline of pulley. 15 degree idlers should be used first and last as transition for conveyors using 25 and 30 degree 2-Roll Idlers. |

Idler Capacity = Product Rate (cubic feet per minute)/Belt Speed (feet per minute x Safety Factor
| Example: | Product Rate = 5000 lbs. per hour Belt Speed = 60 feet/minute |
Product weight per cubic foot = 30 lbs Safety Factor = 2 |
| 5000/30 = 167 cubic feet per hour/60 minutes = 2.8 cubic feet per minute/60 FPM = .047 x SF(2) = .093 CuFt per Ft. of Belt (The minimum requirement for this application would be 12″ wide 2-roll 30 degree troughing idlers) |
