Bushels Per Hour to Tons Per Hour Formula

This is the formula you use to convert bushels per hour to tons per hour:

BPH x 1.25 = Cubic Feet Per Hour
Cubic Feet Per Hour x Pounds Per Cubic Feet = Pounds Per Hour
Pounds Per Hour / 2000 = Tons Per Hour

Common Assumed Per Cu Ft Weights:
Corn = 45 lbs per cubic ft
Feed = 35 lbs per cubic ft
Wheat = 48 lbs per cubic ft
Pellets = 55 to 60 lbs per cubic ft
(I highly recommend you VERIFY the weight of the material you will be conveying)
