Abstract

In the sugar industry, bagasse carrier chains are extensively used for various purposes related to the handling and processing of bagasse, the fibrous residue left over after sugarcane is crushed. Here are some common uses of bagasse carrier chains in the sugar industry. The main purpose of the bagasse carrier chain in the sugar industry is to transport bagasse efficiently and effectively within the sugar mill. Bagasse, the fibrous residue left after sugarcane is crushed, needs to be moved from one area to another for various purposes such as drying, storage, or further processing. The bagasse carrier chain is designed to handle the heavy load of bagasse and ensure smooth and continuous movement throughout the sugar production process. By facilitating the transportation of bagasse, the carrier chain helps optimize the overall efficiency and productivity of the sugar industry. Bagasse carrier chains are subjected to continuous use and are exposed to high loads and harsh operating conditions. Over time, the chain links can experience wear and tear, leading to weakening of the chain structure and potential breakage. Bagasse carrier chains are designed to carry a certain amount of weight. If they are overloaded, they can break. This work is focused on part of the bagasse carrier chain to understand the chain strength using theoretical, experimental and Ansys analysis method. To study the basic part of bagasse carrier chain in loading condition and comparing the result with Ansys analysis.
