Product Description
by Kosti Koivisto (Author)
Although use of conveyors in industry is significant, good and comprehensive literature from the topic is not available. Now based on 20 years of teaching experience and 25 years of conveyor designer experience I have written the book. In the book following conveyors are covered: chain conveyor, screw conveyor, elevator, belt conveyor, and locker belt conveyor. In the book is explained use of bulk material conveyors, structures, operation, and as main topic design with calculation guidelines and in addition there is practical examples from every conveyor. In design and examples are included in addition to normal capacity and power calculations also structural design and dimensioning of axles and bearings and belts, chains, chain wheels and so on. From some of the examples also assembly drawings and technical drawings are made. The book is written primarily to engineer level designers and in general to conveyor manufacturing companies. The book is also suitable for mechanical engineer students.
