 A conveyor system is INTRODUCTION
a common piece of mechanical
handling equipment that moves materials from one location
to another.
 Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the
transportation of heavy or bulky materials.
 Conveyor system allow quick and efficient transportation for
a wide variety of materials.
 They also have popular consumer applications, as they often
found in supermarkets and airports.
 Many kind of conveying systems are available and are used
according to the various needs of different industries.
 Aim and Objectives

To easy for transporting the heavy loads in construction areas and
industries
Widely used the conveyors in need various place
The purposes of using the conveyors that can be reduced the cost of
time.

 Literature Review

The first conveyor belts were developed in the late 18th century.
The first inventor was Thomas Robins, an American inventor in 1892.
They were short and were powered with hand cranks and a series of
pullies.
Their primary use to transport farmers goods onto ships at port.
Even though over 200 years has passed there are still some
connections to the first conveyors today.
 Point of View

Using conveyor system is a good way to reduce the risks of

musculoskeletal injury in tasks or processes that involve manual
handling, as they reduce the need for repetitive lifting and carrying.
They offer the opportunity to boost productivity, reduce product
handling and damage, and minimize labour content in a manufacturing
or distribution facility.
 Future Plan

Design theory for chain conveyor

Horizontal chain conveyor
Inclined chain conveyor
