Abstract

A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to another. This work presents an application of concept of concurrent engineering and the principles of design for manufacturing and design for assembly, several critical conveyor parts were investigated for their functionality, material suitability, strength criterion, cost and ease of assembly in the overall conveyor system. The existing system will be redesign and optimize for weight, resulting into material saving by modifying and analysing the critical conveyor parts. Detailed results will be found in the final part of the dissertation.
