CONVEYING SYSTEM

 is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to
another.

CONVEYORS
 are used to transport the material generally in horizontal direction, but with some modification in
vertical direction.
 move materials over a fixed path.

CLASSIFICATION OF CONVEYING

 Type of product being handled: unit load or bulk load

 Location of the conveyor: overhead, on-floor, or in-floor
 Whether or not loads can accumulate on the conveyor

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONVEYING SYSTEMS

 Chute conveyor
 Wheel conveyor
 Roller conveyor
 A. Gravity roller conveyor
 B. Live (powered) roller conveyor
 Chain conveyor
 Slat conveyor
 Flat belt conveyor
 Magnetic belt conveyor
 Troughed belt conveyor
 Bucket conveyor
A. centrifugal discharge bucket elevator
B. continuous bucket elevator
 Oscillating conveyors or Vibrating conveyor
 Screw conveyor

CHUTE CONVEYOR
 one of the least expensive methods of conveying material
 It is the simplest example of gravity-operated conveyor.
 spiral chute can be used to convey items between floors with minimum amount of space required.
WHEEL CONVEYOR
  Uses series of skate wheels mounted on a shaft (or axle), where spacing of the wheels is
dependent on the load being transported
 Slope for gravity movement depends on load weight
 More economical than the roller conveyor
 For light-duty applications
 Flexible, expandable versions available

ROLLER CONVEYOR
 May be powered (or live) or no powered (or gravity)
 Materials must have a rigid riding surface
 Minimum of three rollers must support smallest loads at all times
 Tapered rollers on curves used to maintain load orientation

GRAVITY ROLLER CONVEYOR

 Alternative to wheel conveyor
 For heavy-duty applications
 Slope for gravity movement depends on load weight

LIVE (POWERED) ROLLER CONVEYOR

 Belt or chain driven
 Force-sensitive transmission can be used to disengage rollers for accumulation
 Provides limited incline movement capabilities

CHAIN CONVEYOR
 Uses one or more endless chains on which loads are carried directly
 Parallel chain configuration used to transport pallets

SLAT CONVEYOR
 Uses discretely spaced slats connected to a chain
 Unit being transported retains its position (like a belt conveyor)
 Orientation and placement of the load is controlled
 Used for heavy loads or loads that might damage a belt
 Tilt slat conveyor used for sortation

FLAT BELT CONVEYOR

  For transporting light- and medium-weight loads between operations, departments, levels, and
buildings
 Provides considerable control over the orientation and placement of the load.
 The belt is roller or slider bed supported; the slider bed is used for small and irregularly shaped
items

MAGNETIC BELT CONVEYOR

 A steel belt and either a magnetic slider bed or a magnetic pulley is used
 To transport ferrous containing materials.

TROUGHED BELT CONVEYOR

 Used to transport bulk materials
 When loaded, the belt conforms to the shape of the troughed rollers and idlers

BUCKET CONVEYOR
 Most commonly used in feed mills.
 Bucket elevators are most efficient means of elevating grain, and other ingredients, pelleted feeds,
mash finished feeds, and most materials except sticky material that will not discharge from the
buckets.
 They consists of a belt or a chain running in a vertical direction to which buckets are attached.
 Most commonly used in feed mills.
 Bucket elevators are most efficient means of elevating grain, and other ingredients, pelleted feeds,
mash finished feeds, and most materials except sticky material that will not discharge from the
buckets.
 They consists of a belt or a chain running in a vertical direction to which buckets are attached.
 Bucket elevators of centrifugal discharge are normally used in feed industry and most are of the
belt type.
 Pellets might best be handled in continuous bucket elevators that operate at slow speeds and are
adapted for handling friable material.
 The buckets are discharged by gravity reducing breakage caused by centrifugal force discharge
of a centrifugal elevator.
 Bucket elevators usually require the least amount of horsepower for vertical conveying system.
THREE MAJOR PARTS OF BUCKET CONVEYOR:

 The boot (product loading)

 Trunking (product elevating)
 Head (product discharge)

OSCILLATING OR VIBRATING CONVEYOR

 Consists of a trough, bed, or tube
  Vibrates at a relatively high frequency and small amplitude in order to convey individual units of
products or bulk material
 Can be used to convey almost all granular, free- flowing materials

SCREW CONVEYOR
 Consists of a tube or U-shaped stationary trough through which a shaft-mounted helix revolves to
push loose material forward in a horizontal or inclined direction
 One of the most widely used conveyors in the processing industry

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

PNEUMATIC CONVEYOR
 Air pressure is used to convey materials through a system of vertical and horizontal tubes.

VERTICAL LIFT CONVEYOR

 A Conveyer to raise or lower a load to different levels of a facility.

CART-ON-TRACK CONVEYOR
 used to pull a cart along a track.

TOW CONVEYOR
 Uses a towline to provide power to wheeled carriers such as carts or trucks that move along the
floor.

TROLLEY CONVEYOR
 Uses a series of trolleys supported from within an overhead track.

POWER-AND-FREE CONVEYOR
  Similar to trolley but no fixed spacing and uses two tracks.

5 TYPES OF SORTATION CONVEYOR

 Diverter
 Pop-up Device
 Sliding Shoe Sorter
 Tilting Device
 Cross-belt Transfer Device

SORTATION CONVEYOR
 Used for merging, identifying, inducting, and separating products in specific destinations. Can be
hydraulic, pneumatic or motor driven.

SORTATION CONVEYOR:DIVERTER
 Stationary or movable arms that deflect, push, or pull a product to desired destination.

SORTATION CONVEYOR: POP-UP DEVICE

 One or more rows of powered rollers or wheels or chains that pop up above surface of conveyor
that guides the load.

SORTATION CONVEYOR: SLIDING SHOE SORTER

 Uses series of diverter slats that slide across the surface to guide it off.

SORTATION CONVEYOR: TILTING DEVICE

 Trays or slats provide combined sorting mechanism and product transporter.

SORTATION CONVEYOR: CROSS-BELT TRANSFER DEVICE

 Each carrier equipped with small belt conveyor called cell which guide the load to specific
destination.

SUGAR MILL CONVEYOR

 A sugar mill conveyor is used in producing sugar from beet and sugarcane, and it is
mainly used to handle raw materials and sugar. The sugar mill conveyor can be belt conveyor and
screw conveyor.

TYPES OF CONVEYOR IN SUGAR INDUSTRY

B. Mobile belt conveyor
 Screw Conveyor
A. HORIZONTAL SCREW CONVEYOR
B. INCLINED SCREW CONVEYOR
C. SHAFTLESS SCREW CONVEYOR
D. FLEXIBLE SCREW CONVEYOR

MOBILE BELT CONVEYOR

 Mobile belt conveyor is composed of frame, walking wheel, universal wheel, and lifting
device, which is easy to move. It is suitable for transportation, stacking, loading and unloading of
bulk grain and packaged grain, and is mainly used in places where loading and unloading
locations frequently change.

HOW TO CHOOSE SUGAR CONVEYOR?

1. The material is abrasive
2. Sugar is hygroscopic
3. Granulated sugar will ignite at high temperatures and the dust is highly combustible and
explosive

OTHER TYPES OF CONVEYOR IN SUGAR INDUSTRY

 Screw Conveyors
 Pneumatic Conveying Systems
  Drag Chain Conveyors
 Bucket Elevators

HORIZONTAL SCREW CONVEYOR

 the most common type of screw conveyor used in sugar milling.
 are often used for transferring sugar between different processing stages or for loading/unloading
sugar from trucks or storage bins.

INCLINED SCREW CONVEYOR

 used when there is a need to move sugar at an incline or vertically.
 often used to elevate sugar to higher levels or transport it between different floors in a sugar mill.

SHAFTLESS SCREW CONVEYOR

 are designed without the traditional central shaft.
 use a spiral-shaped screw that rotates inside a trough.
 . This design allows for the conveyance of sticky or viscous materials, such as moist sugar or
sugar with high moisture content.
 The absence of a central shaft also reduces the risk of material clogging or blockages.

FLEXIBLE SCREW CONVEYOR

 consists of a flexible spiral screw enclosed in a flexible or semi-rigid tube
 It is highly versatile and can be used to convey sugar in various directions, including horizontally,
vertically, or at different angles.
 are often used in situations where there are space constraints or the need for flexible routing.

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING SYSTEM

 the ideal solution for safely and reliably moving your sugar.
 the process of using compressed air to move bulk materials through pipelines or hoses from Point
A to Point B.

DRAG CHAIN CONVEYOR

 are designed to handle abrasive and high-temperature materials, making them suitable for
transporting sugar cane or sugar beets through the milling process.
