Study of Stress on Belt Drive System Integrated with Briquetting Plant- Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers- Journal of Robotics Abstract In briquetting plant, briquettes produces through small pieces of agro residues or by dry material which having moisture contain below 10%. Briquetting plant consists from biomass grinder, screw conveyor and piston-press machine. The piston-press machine operates through open belt drive system. Pulley and belt system is an important part of the briquetting plant, which function is to transfer speed into reciprocating system. In this study, effect of slip and COF on belt life analysis has done through mathematical formulation and numerical simulation. Present study deals pulley simulation has done through help of Finite Element software ANSYS 12.0.1. Keywords: ANSYS; Briquetting plant; COF; Pulley-belt; Slip Introduction We all are well known by the importance of energy and its sources. Energy is the key factor in economic development of every country. The dema
