Quoting Bob Sinclair <rjs-in-silcom.com>:

You don't need to look up any equation, this is simple stuff. Let's say your
motor turns-in-2000 rpm and you want your filter to turn-in-5 rpm. From this
you can derive a ratio of 2000/5, or 400 to 1. Now, your two pulleys (you may
want to do this in two or more steps because of the large differential) should
have a 400 to one ratio in CIRCUMFERENCE. Circumference is calculated by pi*D,
where D is the diameter of the pulley. Or 3.14*D, to use an approximation of pi.

This should be all you need to work the rest of it out.

You may want to look-in-getting a toy rock tumbler instead. The drum turns
relatively slowly and the mechanism could be easily adapted to your application.
