Abstract: The Conveyer System finds its Application where manual material transfer fails. Conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to another. Belt Conveyor systems are used widespread across a range of industries due to the numerous benefits they provide. Though these conveyors have numerous advantages they also require huge amount of power to drive belts. As the result of increased fuel prices in global markets and scarce of fuels electricity tariff is increasing tremendously. By reducing drive power requirement we can save huge amounts of money as well as reduce green house gas emissions.The project involves analysis of changes in power consumption by replacing the contact type internal scraper with Adjustable Type Non-contact internal scraper.
