Diseño y simulación de un transportador telescópico de banda para la transportación de productos y subproductos de trigo

Abstract

Initial research provides the definition and main function of the conveyor belt, which is to support the transferred material, just as the different applications and different materials that can carry because of the way to attach to different business needs. Therefore generates a feasibility study in order to understand how to help in improving the process of loading and unloading of products and byproducts of wheat flour, because that way it will offer help to the controlled generation and effective in production. In order to understand how the conveyor belt is made, the concepts of the elements under study are: types of bands, characteristics, types of rollers, belt tensionless, motorcycle gears, sprockets and chains theory, pin types, types of materials, welding, as well as understanding the operation of a PLC its advantages and disadvantages and features a variable speed drive. This chapter will determine the calculation and design of the telescopic conveyor belt, the initial parameters are load capacity, speed tables and band work, the design of the structure taking into account the length, width and height. Decomposition is carried out of all the forces involved in the conveyor belt in order to perform an analysis of each of the elements of the telescopic conveyor belt, through design calculations and selects the appropriate profiles that support the load structure, is also discussed and the calculation is made of columns, shafts, plates, rollers, types of bearings, transmission of movement through chain sprocket, analysis of welding, fasteners, clips, and the electromechanical system analysis determined efforts will be considered in the above calculations to establish an excellent design and material selection, mechanical components in this way are guaranteed to have an optimal design of the telescopic conveyor belt. This chapter provides a cost analysis to determine the amount of financial resources for project development. In this case, to make the relevant cost analysis will take into account direct and indirect costs. To obtain a favorable outcome of the project, proceed to the simulation using computer software which allows testing of the materials selected are correct and return the same within the study of costs in turn influences the distribution system resources for implementation. Finally, to determine the total cost of the machine, adding the total direct and indirect costs.
