Conveyor
systems are essential tools in industrial applications, designed to transport
objects over fixed distances with specified loads. Among the various types of
conveyors, belt conveyors are the most commonly used due to their efficiency
and versatility. A belt conveyor typically comprises several critical
components, including the belt, pulley, drive system, and idler. This research
focuses on the design of a belt conveyor system for coal transportation,
employing Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools to achieve a transport capacity of
2000 tons per hour. The design process produced the following key geometric
specifications: the drive pulley has a length of 1600 mm and a diameter of 800
mm, while the tail pulley has the same length but a diameter of 630 mm. The
bend/snub pulley measures 1600 mm in length with a diameter of 500 mm, and the
shaft pulley is 2180 mm long with a diameter of 130 mm. Additionally, the
carrying idler has a length of 530 mm and a diameter of 159 mm, whereas the
return idler measures 1600 mm in length with the same diameter of 159 mm. This
study offers a robust design framework for industrial belt conveyor systems,
emphasizing their operational efficiency and reliability in heavy-duty material
handling applications.
