Abstract: This manuscript deals with the design, analysis and optimization of a Slat Conveyor for bag handling at the Airports. The requirement here is to transport the bags from loading station to the unloading station which covers the distance of 28 metres. The specification provided are the approximate weight of each bag, the total weight to be transported between the stations and the height upto which it is transported. The Input parameters are reference to the design calculations. Proper material selection is done using appropriate standards like the ASME , CEMA and Ashby standard. With the proposed conveyor system the weight of the base frame will be reduced and the fatigue strength/cycle of drive shaft will be increased using the appropriate materials.
Keywords: Factor of Safey, Load, Shaft, Slat Conveyor.
