Abstrakt: Conveyor systems are essential tools in industrial applications, designed to transport objects over fixed distances with specified loads. Among the various types of conveyors, belt conveyors are the most commonly used due to their efficiency and versatility. A belt conveyor typically comprises several critical components, including the belt, pulley, drive system, and idler. This research focuses on the design of a belt conveyor system for coal transportation, employing Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools to achieve a transport capacity of 2000 tons per hour. The design process produced the following key geometric specifications: the drive pulley has a length of 1600 mm and a diameter of 800 mm, while the tail pulley has the same length but a diameter of 630 mm. The bend/snub pulley measures 1600 mm in length with a diameter of 500 mm, and the shaft pulley is 2180 mm long with a diameter of 130 mm. Additionally, the carrying idler has a length of 530 mm and a diameter of 159 mm, whereas the return idler measures 1600 mm in length with the same diameter of 159 mm. This study offers a robust design framework for industrial belt conveyor systems, emphasizing their operational efficiency and reliability in heavy-duty material handling applications.
