Design and analysis of chain strip in roller conveyor under tensile load

The chain drives are the primary systems used in order to transmit power, and act as the effective means of
material handling. Chain conveyors ultimately experience tension due to wear. The tension generated on this conveyor
setup needs to be supplanted, consequently would affect the efficiency and increases to perform such an important
activity of an industry. Roller and chain transports are predominantly used in the mills where sugar, paper, fertilizer and
cements are produced in large quantities. Such material handling systems are more reliable and appropriate in the metalcasting industries in which the foundry practices and heat treatment processes are inevitable. This report discusses on thephysical responses of the chain drive upon elastic loading and also contemplates on the internal resistances. Analysis onsuch experimentations brings in fruitful results and suggestions so as to minimize the constraints related to time and cost,to the aforesaid industries.
