Material Handling

This module is of special interest to material handling engineers and drafting specialists. This collection of powerful utilities include:

• Conveyor Rolls & Idlers Utility Various makes, including PROK and PRINCE, (Other makes by request). The utility allows you to draw 3 Roll Troughs, Vee Troughs and Return & Flat Carry Idlers. End, Front and Plan Views for all standard roller diameter, Angles and Belt Width Now also: Suspended Idlers
• Conveyor Chains Links & Sprockets. This routine is based on the RENOLD Conveyor Chains range. It will draw Sprockets Front view, End View and Chain Links. For all common Chain pitch, Break Load (and Number of Teeth)
• Transmission Sprockets Plus Sprocket Design Utility . To ISO 606, 0.375-1.50" pitch. Front and End views: Simplex, Duplex and Triplex Transmission Sprockets - In Steel & Cast Iron Plain/Taper Bore
• Bulk Material Trajectory profile generator. Calculates and draws Bulk Material trajectory envelope for conveyed material as it travels past header pulley.
