Superior Industries, an American manufacturer of conveying equipment and conveyor components, has completed development of its first iPhone app. Known as “ConveyCalc,” the free app is available for download in the App Store. Notable features include: Operating Cost Calculator – Input variables like operator salary, fuel costs, conveyor horsepower and annual repair expenses to compare costs of operating a conveyor versus a loader

• Stockpile Volume Calculator – Input two variables, conveyor length and radial arc travel angle, for this calculator to determine stockpile volume in cubic tons, short tons and metric tons
• Belt Capacity Calculator – This calculator helps bulk material handlers maintain accurate levels of material on belts. Inputting a few common variables will return a conveyor’s maximum capacity
• Horsepower Calculator – Knowing a conveyor’s length, width, lift and belt capacity will calculate minimum power requirements for the given application
• Conveyor Lift Calculator – Input two variables, the angle of the conveyor and its length, for this calculator to reveal a conveyor’s centre-to-centre lift in feet.

ConveyCalc is available for free download in the App Store and is compatible with iPhones running iOS 5 software.
