VACUUM CONVEYOR FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

SYNOPSIS

In our project “VACUUM CONVEYOR” beings with an introduction to

conveyor, it’s various applications and units, and briefly explains a few devices capable
of producing vacuum and their relative merits.

The vacuum conveyor is very useful for material handling in modern engineering
industries. The motor is used to drive the conveyor. The materials are transferred from
one place to another place by using conveyor. In most of the curved or inclined place of
the conveyor, the material’s handling is very difficulty. In this conveyor, the blower is
fixed to creative the vacuum in the conveyor, so the materials are transferred smoothly.
This system gives smooth operation and smooth movement of the belts to the jobs at
required time.

INTRODUCTION

In modern world many techniques have been adopted in the field of material
handling and it is advancing day by day. We have also contributed to this advancement in
material handling, as “VACUUM CONVEYOR”. The operations of this unit are
controlled by blower.

PROJECT PLANNING
CONCEPT:
Before starting any project, the planning is essential. It is the process of thinking
before doing and determining the future course of action to be done, while planning a
project each and steps should be analysed carefully with all related things.
STEPS INVOLVED IN PROJECT PLANNING:

1) DESIGN AND DRAWING:-

The design factor should be carefully considered. Detail drawings are

necessary for designing and also fabricating the project. Development and modification
of the system should be in simplest form.

2) PLANNING:-

Next step of the project is to select the best method of manufacture, So that
the wastage of materials, man power, machine power and time can be reduced to a greater
extent. By comparing various methods, the best method of manufacturing is to be
selected. The purpose of necessity of operation and machine tools used to do the jobs are
considered while selecting the best method of manufacture.

3) PURCHASE CONSIDERATION:-

It is difficult to manufacture all the components required for fabrication in

the machine shop itself. The decision about particular component whether to purchase it
or manufacture it is taken by planning after making study of relative merits and demerits
of direct purchase and self manufacture.

ADVANTAGES

1. Idle time of the machine is reduced.

2. When compared with the ordinary conveyor, it consumes less time for
transporting the job.
3. It reduces the manual labour
4. Hence, production rate is higher
5. In this mechanism there is no backlash.
6. Easy material transportation

DISADVANTAGES

1. Initial higher cost.

APPLICATIONS

1. In all small and medium scale industries

2. Material transportation application.
