Keywords: Different Weight of
Material Conveyor Belt D.C. Motor A conveyor belt system essentially consists of an endless belt of elastic material connected between two flat pulleys and driven by the rotation of one of the pulleys by a direct current motor. Usually, the material is fed to the belt near the other end of the pulley. The moving belt that carries the material to the drive pulley tends to sag between the two end pulleys due to its own weight. Rubber conveyor belts are commonly used to transport items with uneven bottom surfaces, small items that fall between rolls, or product bags that sag between rolls.
1. INTRODUCTIONAs the
flat belt is always under tension, it is subject to elongation, which causes
loosening of the pulleys and loss of tension and power. That is why some type
of belt tensioning device is incorporated into the system. This tensioning
device is known as a retraction arrangement. The system is inherently very
simple. The conveyor system has achieved a dominant position in the
transportation of bulk materials due to a number of inherent advantages, such
as economy and operational safety, reliability, versatility and a virtually
unlimited range of capacities. Conveyor belts are generally of fairly similar
construction, consisting of a metal frame with rollers at each end of a flat
metal bed. Figure 1: Belt

LITERATURE
REVIEW
Ghazi Abu Taher (2014) - The conveyor belt
and the cup elevator are the means to transport material from one place to
another in a commercial space. The conveyor belt has a large load capacity,
simplified design with a large coverage area, easy maintenance, and high
operational reliability. AG Thakur (2015) - This work presents an
application of the concept of simultaneous engineering and the principles of
design for manufacturing and design for assembly, several critical parts of
conveyors were investigated for their cost of functionality and ease of
assembly in the general conveyor system. 3.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The flat belt consists of more layers of material to provide
linear strength and shape, the materials flowing over the moving belt with
speed. Belt conveyor technology has also been used in the conveyor transport
system, like many manufacturing assemblies’ lines. Belt conveyors were the most
commonly used in energy conveyors as they were the most versatile and the
cheapest. This conveyor system used premium belt products of the highest
quality, which reduces belt stretching and results in less maintenance due to
tension adjustments. 4.
PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
First of all, Reading the previous research paper and Finding
the research gap in related papers, after this, select the experimental
process. Data are achieving from run of test rig and found the optimum position
during the operating of test rig. 5.
EXPERIMENT
PROCEDURES
During the
experimental test, first, the material is filled in the hopper on the upper
side for the purpose of handling material moving forward, after the gear head
DC motor switch has the ON condition, which is to travel up to the effective
length and find the last position of the effective belt length, the gear head
DC motor is in the OFF condition. The martial is collected by the bottom side
funnel system. Figure 2: Flat Belt Figure 3: Flat Roller Table 1: Specification of components

CONCLUSION
AND FUTURE SCOPE
7.1. CONCLUSION
In this article, we look at material handling in the
forward direction of the roll, such as moving forward using 12 V.D.C. motor
with different material weight, such as 5,10,15 Kg respectively. During the
forward movement of the roller, we found the ideal position using the applied
load of 10 kg with the roller speed kept constant as 150 R.P.M. and after that,
when the applied load increases to 15 kg, the speed of the roller is reduced to
130 R.P.M. 7.2. FUTURE SCOPE
1)
To study about material handling using
chain drive system with vehicle assembly. SOURCES OF FUNDING
