More info needed:

1. Whats driving it?

2. load on conveyer?

3. checking: mpm = meter per minute?

4. What do you know about gearboxes in general?

5. What is transported?

6. Speed changes needed?

7. Stopping mechanism safety design?

etc.

there is much more to consider than has been said!

"Design" or "select"?
