Abstract

In production or assembly lines roller conveyor chains are generally used where individual large objects need to be conveyed. Typical applications of roller conveyors are carrier conveyors for the transport of steel coils in a steel plant or slat conveyors that carry objects. A slat conveyor consists of two or more endless strands of chain with attached non interlocking slats or metal flights to carry the material. Other examples are conveying pallets, tree-stumps or even whole cars. Motor capacity of conveyor depends on the weight of chain in chain conveyor system. It was determined that maximum amount of weight of chain conveyor is covered by outer link and inner link. In this paper, we concentrated on only outer link and weight optimization of link by using composite material (Glass Fiber & Carbon Fiber) to reduce the power requirement of conveyor.
