Abstract
This paper presents equations for determining the bounds on maximum throughput capacity, the length of conveyor required for accumulation, and the time for a queue to dissipate after blocking the flow on a live roller and on a zero pressure accumulation conveyor. Input flow in ease-feet per minute is assumed to be known and deterministic but may be either less, or greater, than the capacity of the output metering belt.
