    I think you need to increase the resolution to increase the accuracy of the pulse read before 1 minute is up.

    Why deal with 36 pulses per minute ? I don't know how you are breaking the IR beam but maybe you could add extra pulses using extra beam breaks.

    1 pulse per revolution of conveyer "drum" wheel could be multiplied up to 10 pulses per revolution or whatever using more beam breaks on the "drum" ? Easier to read a RPM during the one minute period.


    Just thoughts.
