Abstract

It is not obvious to adjust the speed of a conveyor belt so that it is possible to optimize the transport for each piece conveyed even with various studies presented in this area. The complex methodologies that are shown and the many adaptations indicated in these studies may contribute to the low adoption of these configurations. A study made, in this work, from videos of advertisements showing belt conveyor in operating on the factory floor which presented only 44% efficiency. In this work, it was shown, through theoretical studies, a mathematical model that presents the relationship between the speed and the transport capacity of conveyor belts. Based on a model, a graphical method (using templates) has been proposed that helps in choosing the conveyor belt speed for most efficient configurations that can be identified and adopted simply and without many adaptations to the system as a whole.
