Project Overview
Designed a lightweight conveyor frame structure for a plastic packaging production line. The system was intended to transport lightweight plastic products such as bottles and containers between process stations while maintaining structural stability and manufacturing simplicity.
Design Objectives
• Develop a lightweight structural frame for low-load applications
• Support conveyor belt and roller system
• Simplify fabrication and installation
• Ensure compatibility with packaging line equipment
Key Design Features
• Rectangular steel tube frame structure
• Modular support legs with base mounting plates
• Cross members supporting the conveyor belt bed
• Adjustable side guide rails for product alignment
• Lightweight design suitable for plastic packaging loads
Engineering Work Completed
• Parametric CAD modeling using Autodesk Inventor
• Conveyor frame layout and structural member design
• Roller support bracket design
• Assembly constraints and interference checks
• Visualization through exploded assembly views
