Abstract

Abstract: In the process or manufacturing industry, raw materials and products need to be transported from one manufacturing stage to Another Material handling equipment are designed such that they facilitate easy, cheap, fast and safe loading and unloading with least human interference. For instance, belt conveyor system can be employed for easy handling of materials beyond human capacity in terms of weight and height. During the construction of slabs in civil structure, the continuous supply of construction material is needed. This is usually done with the help of labours, sometimes; a temporary material lift is fabricated for this. Both this process is labor intensive and costly. In this project we are undertaking design of material handling system which can supply construction material continuously to the top end of the construction site, and also to ensure the mobility of this system. For more than 200 years, belt conveyors are in use in many industries, especially in mining, cement, steel and agricultural industries. Belt conveyors have had an increasing importance and use during the past century. Today, they have the significant role in mining, cement factories, grain manipulation, etc. By time, applications of transporting materials from one point to another extended its boundaries; by requiring longer transfer distances, much faster speeds and much higher capacities.
