Material Sorting by Retractable Conveyor

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF AUTOMATIC MATERIAL
SLOTTING USING RETRACTABLE CONVEYOR
ABSTRACT
Industries are looking for machines which will save manpower, space,
money and time for production. In many material handling equipment’s, belt
conveyors are popular and used in many industries. This paper overcomes the
drawbacks of traditional belt conveyors and introduces a new system with
Design and Development of automatic material slotting using Retractable
conveyor. In our current design we are using 3conveyors one is Retractable
conveyor and the other two is normal conveyor. Two materials, Metal objects
are wooden or plastic objects are separated using sensors. . It is a pneumatic &
belt drive movable equipment for unloading & slotting metal and other . The
capacity of this equipment is up 5 kg as per our design it will vary. Easy to
shift it from one place to another place with the help of trolley wheels with in
plant and transportation is also easy for one location to other.
INTRODUCTION
This A telescopic belt conveyor is an effective and ergonomic alternative
to labour-intensive routines. Operators can move heavy or awkward packages
into or out of a container/truck rapidly with little effort. Extending some 20
meters/65 ft., telescopic belt conveyors can be used to load/unload any type of
loose-loaded cargo – typically parcels, boxes, sacks & tyres. An intuitive smart-
pad on either side enables precise control of the boom's elevation and telescopic
movement. Push buttons at the operator end of the boom control activation,
lights, belt direction etc.

five extending sections enables us to provide custom telescopic conveyors to
suit your requirements.
Literature Review:
Nalam Surya Sandeep studied about, Reducing Manpower cost in
industries, Space, Money and Time saving purpose every one preferring simple
equipment for loading and unloading materials. For the past decade, material
handling organizations has been introduced and applied as an option for
different types of Unloaders. It is a simple yet effective means reliable and cost
effective manner. Their present work deals with utilization of telescopic
material unloader for reduce the Manpower cost, time saving and safe loading
and unloading the materials in industries. Our current attempt is towards
fabricating an economical
telescopic material unloader by adopting the exiting simple design procedure.
They concluded by using 2.2kw low capacity motor we designed and
implemented 15ton/hr capacity Telescopic Material Unloader. The efficiency of
Telescopic Material Unloader is higher than the Loader efficiency by design
parameters. The average unloading capacity of this equipment is 18.5tonn/hr in
the interval of 24hrs.
R. K. Bhoyar studied about Belt conveyor is the transportation of material from

one location to another. Belt Conveyor has high load carrying capacity, large
length of conveying path, simple design, easy maintenance and high reliability
of operation. In this paper the study is on adjustable height of belt conveyor for
variable speed moving in different direction of a belt conveyor system. It
transfers material in two different destinations from a single source. For that it is
required to design all the components of belt conveyor like belt width, belt
speed, pulley diameter, chute to transfer the material, etc. This paper attempts to
discuss the generalized design consideration for adjustable radial belt conveyor.

Result and Discussion

This paper deals with study of Retractable conveyor for Slotting
operation and results are plotted by experimenting on the set up. This set up has
been manufactured by us and then various experiments have been conducted
and results are found.
