Dear Anand:

You can receive a good tutorial on the subject from a study using the BELtSTAT computer software program @:

www.conveyor-dynamics.com. You can download the DEMO package free of charge. The HELP menu can give you background information. The program is based on CEMA noted by others. In many areas, it goes beyond CEMA.

Many large engineering companies and manufacturing companies use it. Its foundations were developed in 1966. The foundations are continuing to be upgraded. It incorporates technology beyond the published standards. Look at the list of major installations and their complexities on our website to get a feel of its scope.

Give feedback on your thoughts. Explore and comment on future enhancements that provoke your interest.

Dear Anand,

The book 'Engineering Science and Application Design for Belt Conveyors' authored by me, could be a good guide for you and should answer most of your questions. It is a 650 pages book with 360 figures and numerous solved examples for practical needs.

You may get in touch with me, in case you are interested in buying it.

The post from Dr. R H Wohlbier also mentions about this book.

Mr. Anand,

CEMA, as suggested by Mr.Gary is good, but if you go by soft ware, then you cannot learn any thing.So I suggest that you go through the following:

1) Material handling .. by Spivakovaski

2)IS: 11592 or ISO 5048

3)Book by our member Mr. I.G.Mulani

Learn first from book & then to save time use soft ware.

Regards.

Can you be a bit more specific about your problem?

What metal parts are hitting what, besides the frame?

Is this conveyor transporting bulk material?

What product are you conveying?

What is belt width?

What is length of conveyor?

What is the belt speed?

If you can answer these questions we may be able to help you. I am sure others will have other questions. The more information that you can provide about your problem the better the group can provide answers.

Please reply your information to your original post instead of my private messages and then others may be able to help. I am more into bulk material handling than parts handling.

If I am understanding you correctly the gears are hitting each other as you transfer them onto the conveyor. Are they beiing fed in a uniform fashion? In other words equal time between gears. Are you able to speed up the conveyor to prevent this from happening? This would get the first gear out of the way before the next one comes along.

The more info that you can provide about your problem the better we can help. But please post in the forum as other may have some information that I cannot provide. There are a lot of very intelligent people on these boards from all over the world that have a wealth of knowledge and information.
