Belt conveyor systems play a very important role in material handling system. It moves the materials from one place to another place. The path for material transportation in conveyor system is large as compared to other material handling system. Design of conveyor system is simple and it has high load carrying capacity. Maintenance of belt conveyor system is also very easy and high reliability of operation. Design of material handling equipment is very ergonomics design. Material handling equipment are easy for facilitating easy, cheap, fast and safe loading and unloading. The main objective of conveyor systems is easy handling of materials of large weight and at large height which is very difficult to handle the human. The objective of this paper work is to design the idler for light weight materials which has less cost and high efficiency, which will increase the productivity at same time it should reducing dangers to workers operating that systems. In this paper study the existing Belt conveyor system and optimize roller to reduce the weight of assembly and to save the cost. Paper includes geometrical modeling by Catia V5R20 and Finite element analysis in ANSYS14.0. Results of different materials for idler in Finite Element Analysis stated.

Belt conveyor, Idler, Polythene roller, Aluminum Roller
