Abstract

This diploma thesis deals with the structural design of a vertical chain drying conveyor. The main requirements for the device include a distance of 6000 mm between the upper and lower turning points, a maximum weight of a single part of 200 kg, a continuous load of 50 N/m acting on the supporting rod, and easy disassembly of the supporting rods. Another important requirement is compliance with the limited installation space.

As part of the thesis, a literature review was carried out focusing on the current state of the system within the company and on key components of chain conveyors.

The main part of the thesis presents several design variants, from which the most suitable one was selected and further developed. Design and verification calculations of the drive system and critically loaded components of the conveyor were performed.
