Paper Title
Analysis of The Driving Drum for Inclined Flat Belt Conveyor System
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to calculate the design of driving drum or driving pulley for inclined flat belt conveyor
system. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is
called the drive pulley. And the model of the driving drum is drawn and analyzed by Solid Works software. The stresses and
deformation results are calculated based on inclination angle 25deg, 30deg and 35deg.Cast alloy steel and cast carbon steel
are chosen for numerical analysis of driving drum. These results from theoretical calculation and static structural analysis
for the driving drum in software are compared to improve while design is safe. In 25deg, the stress and deformation of cast
carbon steel is 89.09kPa and 5.67 104 mm and the stress and deformation of cast alloy steel is 88.83kPa and5.69 104
mm. In these two materials, the deformation of cast carbon steel is less than the cast alloy steel. So, cast carbon steel is
suitable for driving drum.
