Collector Roller Questions
We are building a collector system with the front roller wrapped in a grippy material, OD about 2.5". I was wondering what would optimal speed of the roller would be, and which motor/gearbox we should use to drive it. Is there a simple/general answer to this (I know there are different motors I can use, my main question is about the speed).
