STRENGTH CALCULATION AND VERIFICATION OF A FABRIC CONVEYOR WITH A CAPACITY OF 30 TONS PER DAY IN AN INDUSTRIAL GARMENT FACTORIES

Abstract

The paper presents the research results, design calculations, and strength verification of a fabric conveyor system used in an industrial garment manufacturing plant with a capacity of 30 tons per day. Based on the analysis of technological requirements, fabric material characteristics, and actual operating conditions, the main conveyor parameters – including belt width, conveying speed, motor power, and supporting frame structure – were determined. Mechanical calculations were conducted to evaluate the load-bearing capacity, strength, and structural stability of the principal components, such as the conveyor belt, rollers, shafts, and supporting frame. The strength verification results indicate that the stress acting on the conveyor frame is [σ] = 170 MPa, and the selected motor power is 2.0 kW. The conveyor system satisfies the requirements for strength, safety, and reliability under continuous operating conditions.
