in providing such a wonderful guidance and for their patience. They all have shared their own
remarkable and important knowledge to our eye opening experience during the four month stay
of our internship program.
Executive Summery
In all factory, not all machines and instruments perform a task in available and in wise ways.
This is because of that some emit problems on the type of machines during design or after design
at the time of assembling components and during the layout of the company reduces the
company profits as well as the quality and quantity of end products of the company. This project
has been done to solve different problems that can be faced during conveying a bottle boxes
through a roller conveyor.
These problems can cause the loss of the company’s product directly and decrease the annual
income indirectly. Therefore, these problems require a solution to establish sustainable profit by
replacing the manual system to automatic and relay out the departments. This project solves
these defects of work by making the conveying process of the bottle boxes easier by the aid of
roller chain rotating around sprockets fitted on the rollers. The shaft extended from the roller is
connected to the chain by means of sprocket. The extended shaft of roller is further connected to
an electric motor which is the source of input power.

CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 History of Pepsi Cola
Pepsi cola traces its origins to 1898 when Caleb Brad ham, a pharmacist in New Bern, North
Carolina, created a curative drinks for dyspepsia called Pepsi Cola. Pepsi cola, later referred to
simply as Pepsi was a mixture of carbonated water, cane-sugar syrup, and an extract from topical
kola nuts. To sell this product, Brad ham formed the Pepsi Cola Company in 1903.In addition to
selling the drink at drugstore counters; Brad ham bottled Pepsi for sale on store shelves. At this
time, bottling was a new innovation in food packaging However, due to major increases in the
price of sugar, Braham began to lose money on Pepsi and in 1923 he filed for bankruptcy.
The Craven Holding Company of craven country, North Carolina, purchased the company’s
assets. In 1931 Charles Guts of the Loft Company in New York City purchased Pepsi-Cola from
the holding company. Guts had difficulty getting the business going again, but he increased sales
by selling larger bottles at an unchanged price. By 1933 Pepsi Cola was sold by 313 franchised
U.S. dealers bottled in the united states, Cuba, and England and Sold in 83 countries.
The consumption of soft drinks in their various forms has taken place for many centuries in order
to meet the body’s fundamental requirement for hydration. The most obvious source of hydration
is water, but in earlier times the consumption of water was very hazardous as it was frequently
contaminated by micro-organisms. Outbreaks of cholera, dysentery and other waterborne
illnesses were common in many European cities prior to the twentieth century.
Total renovation and expansion investment cost was Birr 6,647,944.00. Then Teklehaymanot
Pepsi Cola Plant was established in 1961 as ‘Saba Tej’ Share Company, but nationalized in 1975
replacing the old line as stated predicating Pepsi cola, Miranda and Team brands in January
1978. Gondar Pepsi Cola Plant, before nationalization was owned by private individual produced
wilk-fite water.
The Ethiopian beverage corporation made a new feasibility study on Pepsi cola product which
got the blessing of the government to erect the currently operating plant in 1986. Dessie Plant,
Dessie soda industry was established in 1952 by and individual owner. In1979. The plant
discontinued other soda products and started producing Pepsi Cola, Miranda brand and
carbonated Tosa Water.
MOHA soft drinks s.c was formed and registered under the commercial code of Ethiopia on the
15th of May 1996.this company was formed after the acquisition of Pepsi cola plants in Ethiopia ,
namely Nifas silk , Teklehaymanot, Gondar and Dessie which were owned by government.
Moreover Bure and Hawassa Millinium plants have additionally established plants under the
company the vision of the company is to ensure the competitiveness of the company through
sustained innovation of its infrastructure and work towards IT (information technology ) focused
well managed and led organization for achieving best quality ,huge volume products based on
customers demand and be recognized as a profitable and growth oriented company and mission
is thus strive to reach , maintain and expand our national market leader ship through optimal
customer service and exceed the expectations of customer/stakeholders for our existing and new
products both in quantity and quality .
1.4 Main Products of the Company
The international Pepsi-Cola Company have more than hundreds of types of food and beverage
products. But there are only few products of PepsiCo are producing in our country and these
products became well known brands of Pepsi in Ethiopia. These products are Pepsi, Mirinda-
Orange, 7UP, Mirinda-Tonic, Mirinda-pineapple and Mirinda-Apple in their discovering order and
later cool water (mineral water) is added. Specifically when we come to Gondar MOHA Pepsi cola
plant, except cool water all six brands are producing
These all products are 300ml (0.3L) and machin es fills 6000 bottles per hour. In addition to these,
the plant also produces carbon dioxide gas for the beverage purpose. According to the efficiency
of producing carbon dioxide, the plant could sell it for home consumption and supply for
consumers who need it for food preservation purpose. To produce the above mentioned products,
MOHA Soft Drinks Industry S.C got a franchised license from International Pepsi Cola
Company. This company controls the quality and safety of the products in the market.
The end user of Gondar MOHA soft drinks are mainly the south region part of the country,
specifically they are listed as follow.
• Individual peoples
• Different Factories
• Café, Restaurants, canteen and Hotels
• School compounds (high schools, universities, junior school etc.)
• Employers of the company
1.6 Organizational Structure
CHAPTER TWO
Internship Experience
2.1 The Section That We Have Been Interred
The first place that we had interred was in the maintenance department to practice in the
Internship program. But for the observation staff we had to inter in the production area. The
production room of the company held different production section where different operational
procedure is made by each section. The company has several sections; the major sections are as
follows:
• Washer room
• Boiler room
• Syrup room
• Cold room
This machine is very important and usable to be effective for bottle washing and it’s suitable to
wash that bottle with a little (minimum) amount of time and labor. The bottle is waiting for 30
minute in the washer machine until in late up to final out, and it pass different stages.
Those stages are: -
• Pre spray (pre rinse)
• Caustic 1
• Caustic 2
• Warm water
• Cold water
• Final rinse
Those stages are a removal agent for the bottle washing machine. As we know the bottle is
comes from different places that means the bottle is highly carried different microorganisms and
highly unmasked for bacteria’s, in order to remove those undesired things we use this machine
with different chemicals and water.
Chemical Used by Bottle Washer Machine are;
• CAUSTIC 1 AND 2: -Is used for removing of the bacteria and microorganisms inside and
outside of the bottle.
• DIVO BRITE: -This chemical is useful to be humid the undesired thing that adhere or stake
in the bottle.
• DIVO AI: -DIVO AI is used to neutral the caustic of PH ( the acidity)also it used to remove
the magnesium scale in the jet spray hole and remove heavy metal in the bottle and spray jet.
• DIVO LE: -We used this chemical in order to delete the date decoder on the bottle and the
corrosion.
• Caustic 1: -After pre rinse the bottle is going to caustic 1, this is a kind of bath and in this
bath there is 7000 L of caustic soda solution, also the caustic strength is must be 2 – 2.5 in
scale and the chemists is cheek this scale in every 4 hour, and the amount of caustic is 170
kg.in this section the temperature of caustic soda is must be 65 ®c.
• Caustic 2: -The difference between caustic one and caustic two: -the strength of caustic in
caustic 2 is less than caustic 1(or it measure 1 - 1.5 in caustic 2) and also the temperature is
decrease by sum amount like 25 -280c from caustic 1.
• Warm water: -The temperature of this warm water is 45 -48®c and the bottle is washed
internally and externally by using spray jet hole, those spray jets have 15 holes.
• Final rinse: -This is the final stage for bottle washing process and the water is comes from
water treatment room, so the water is clearly treated in order to protect the bottle from
microorganism and other un-desire things.
The machine has two big gear boxes with having sprocket in the inside which is used to wrap the
bucket conveyors. The end (washed bottle ) is finally move to the filler room (using chain
conveyor) but in its way using manually it will be inspected incase caustic chemical particles are
in the bottle.
Factors that affect bottle washer
• Temperature
• Contact time
2.1.2 B) Crowner
It is a device used to crown (cork the bottle) it holds 4 bottles at a single instant It has the
following parts;
• plungers [4 in number]
• crowner head
• Hooper
• Slider
• Small hose which contain compressed air
• Motor
The speed of the crowner is same with that of filler machine which is adjusted using the
calculated gear to gear mesh. The cork is added at the hopper which contains motor which
facilitate agitation or order {in the concave side} which then move to the slider and press by the
plunger. In case the cork is passing along the slider in the convex side due to adjustment errors it
will fall down to the spacer. The main thing is the crowner head structure which guides the
plunger between TDC and BDC.
When the main axle is driven by the meshing -gear. The main axle also contains the plunge
which rotates along with the axle during tis rotation the plunger moves through the stationary
crowner head slot. The plunger has return spring and rod which presses the cork at the BDC
(bottom bead center) When the rod pushes the cork inside the cylinder like structure the process
is successful. Finally when the process is finished it will be checked by the device (gauge)
{mostly around 1.30 in the device} as per the chemists order so as to prevent gas leakage.
This section of the plant is where steam is produced and used for different machines like washer
and syrup room. There are two boilers in this room the one is new boiler and which is use to
generate steam is a fire tube type of boiler with a capacity of 3200 kg/hr. And an air intake
directly from the atmosphere with the help of air fun connected with an electric motor, air fuel
ratio manually controlled using mechanical valves, exhaust gas realized directly to the
atmosphere. The boiler room is so hot due to the loss in radiation and convection,
It is controlled with a manually adjusted servo motor that control the pre entered air fuel ratio
and an electromechanical timer for ignition and it has a light sensor for checking if combustion is
taking place to prevent unwanted fuel storing inside the boiler which may cause explosion if
ignited.
Boilers are pressure vessels that are designed to heat water or produce steam. Which is then use
for many purposes like space heating, service water heating in a building, steam jet cleaning.
There are many types of heating sources in a boiler like natural gas fired burner, oil fired burner
and electrical resistance heaters.
• In take air filter: - prevent dust from entering a compressor, if the dust is gate in to the air
compressor machine, there will be un masked for sticking valves, scoured cylinders,
excessive wear etc.
• Inter stage cooler : - reduce the temperature of the air before it enter the next stage to reduce
the work of compression and increase efficiency they are normally water cooled.
• After cooler: - is used to remove the moisture in the air by reducing the temperature in a
water cold heat exchanger.
• Air dryer: -the remaining trace of moisture after cooler are removed using air dryers. So by
using this machine (Air dryer) the moisture content will be removed.
• Moisture drain trap: -is used for removal of moisture in the compressed air.
• Air reservoir tank: - is serving as storage of compressed air.
Ammonia compressor is used to compress the ammonia gas in order to cool the beverage by
using water and wind pipe. On cooling tower of ammonia compressor cooling the ammonia to
cool the beverage. Then the ammonia compressor contains cooling gas and water, the water turn
to the cooling tower of ammonia compressor again and recycles.

2.3 Types of Engineering Methods, Tools and Techniques we have been using while
performing our Work Task
• We had tried to understand what does it mean maintenance performance and how it will be
improved.
• Try to see how it looks like the international one or the benchmark maintenance
performance.
• Finding solution
• Shortage of data
• Have no internet access, have no any information disk, and the machines manual are oldest.
• The organization have a very long burocracy for the silly things
The overall benefits of internship are not limited to the practical skill only. We would like to
group the overall benefits that we have been gained in terms of different categories. Such as:
• Entrepreneurship skill
2.7 In terms of improving practical skill
The several courses that we were taken in the class dealt with the theoretical side of engineering.
Some lectures took the initiative and try to illustrate the practical part of this field by displaying
graphic images in their lecture. That was more or less illustrative or even took us to the company
to show what the actual engineering looks like. But these trials were fruitless and failed to give
us the clear picture.
This internship program was exactly what we needed to nurture the lack of practical skills we
had. Generally, as an internship student, we were responsible to handle the following piece of
works:
• Replacing electrical protective devices when they failed, for instance, circuit
breaker, lamps etc.
This internship program provided us building our intellectual knowledge and practical skills. The
works we did were mostly related to most courses that we have taken in the class room; specially
electrical machine, power system industrial control system etc. during class time, before the
internship, we mainly discussed PLC, control system, motor winding etc. we covered here
application of electronics and digital logic design like convertor/rectifier and inverter, PLC and
motor winding in electrical machine.
When different individuals come together to work for common goals of the company for
increasing productivity, the most important point is just reaching an agreement on different
points on the work to be done at a time.
A person with good team playing skill will upgrade the following:
• To demonstrate reliability
There is no much place of responsibility given to us to lead any tank. So that we have not we
have not got full benefits from leadership skills during our start at the company; but from the
observation of the leader of the company leading the workers , we understand from the internship
to give relevant and important solutions to the problems. In terms of improving leadership skills,
we offered the following:
Work ethics includes both how one feels about their job, career or vocation and how one does his
/her job or responsibilities. It demonstrates many things about whom and how a person is. It also
involves such characteristics as honesty and accountability. Essentially, it breaks down to what
does or would do in particular situation.
In our period of internship, we understand what work ethics, one of ethics is punctuality. To be
punctual is duties of every worker that they could achieve their task with the time given. Some of
work ethics are listed as follows:
• Reliability
• Punctuality
• Office disciplines
• Honesty
• Co-operation
Company that we have been involved has different people with various background came
together. They are varying in educational level, economic situations, cultural backgrounds, life
standards and etc. since the aim of the company is to accomplish the work in good way, we need
to have good communicative skills.
During our internship, we have improved our communication skill by communicating starting
from daily labor to project manager learning different type of production terms.
2.14 A) Conclusion
From internship practicing period we conclude that those months are very important to gate
experience and to know work habit, this is very important for future of student. The other
important part of this program is we learn about saving money and increase inter personal
relationship. Gondar MOHA soft drink company is limited to produce a good product, legal, by
decreasing the cost to produce good quality product that are acceptable by customer, wait the
company from un wanted debris is individual worker responsibility.
2.14 B) Recommendations
Finally we recommended to the company, there is a problem of:
• Waste treatment
• Must use automatic machines like fbi, ebi to decrease the problems and improve
productivity

CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Historical Back ground of Chain and Sprocket
The word meaning” chain” can be traced back to ancient word in the Indo-European language
family. As early as 225Bc, chain was used in the 16 th century, Leonardo da Vinci made sketches
of what appears to be the first steel chain. These chains where probably designed to transmit
pulling , not wrapping, power because they consist only of plates and pins and have metal
fittings .However, da Vince’s s sketch does show a roller bearing. It took some time for the
technology to catch up with the concept. Problems in the manufacturing and processing of steel
prevented chain growth until the 19th century, when new technologies made steel chain and
bearings realities. In the 1800s’ a Frenchman named Gull obtained a patent for similar a chain
for use on a bicycle. This chain, called “Gull chain,” is still used today in h Stellanging
applications. When molded chain was invented in the 19th century, things begin to move rather
than quickly. First the cast detachable chain came, which is composed of identical cast links.
Next, the pintle chain, which has a separate pin, appeared. The cast detachable chain and the
pintle chain have been improved over the years, and they are still in use today in some special
applications. They are being re placed –gradually – by large pitch steel conveyor chain. In the
late of 1800s’ a new development – the bushing-revolutionized steel chain. Chains with
bushings had greater wear resistance than Gull chain because the bushing acted as a bearing,
protecting the pin. At This point, the chain story moves in to super speed. , Steel bushing chain
was used on bicycles, in the rear wheel drive of early automobiles, and, in 1903, as the propeller
drive in the wright brothers, airplane to draw a bucket of water up from a well. This very early
bucket chain was composed of connected metal rings
A sprocket is a toothed wheel that is used to transmit motion and torque from one shaft to
another. Chains that are used to transmit motion and force from one sprocket to another are
called power transmission Chains. Unlike gears that have to mesh to transmit motion and torque
from one gear to another, sprockets May be positioned far apart. Sprockets are connected by a
chain. A sprocket with a hole that matches the diameter of the shaft is chosen and slid onto the
shaft. The sprockets then rotated until the keyways in the sprocket and shaft line up. A
rectangular piece of steel bar called a Key is slid into the keyways to prevent the sprocket from
spinning on the shaft. Chain and sprocket mechanisms perform the same task as a belt and pulley
system, i.e. they transfer motion and force from one shaft to another. A belt can slip on a pulley
but the teeth on the sprocket prevent the Chain from slipping. A chain and sprocket is used
wherever a positive, non-slip drive is required, e.g. Bicycles, motorcycles, forklift mechanisms,
and the camshaft drives in car petrol engines. In an automotive vehicle, engine produces the
power which is transferred to the drive shaft. Chain drive is one of the commonly used drive
train to transfer this power. Chain assembly consists of chain, driving sprocket and driven
sprocket. The driving sprocket is connected to engine output shaft, which transfer power to
driven sprocket by chain. Further this driven sprocket transfer power to drive shaft. Therefore in
chain assembly driving sprocket has a Chance for design and optimization for weight reduction.
Due to high power transfer and high speed of rotation, high stress induces in sprocket teeth, also
high speed leads to the vibrations. Hence it is important to design and manufacture sprocket
properly, also mounting of sprocket is important.
While transferring power from driving to driven sprocket, chain exerts high load on sprocket
teeth. So, maximum loads acting on teeth are calculated. Stress induced due to load should be
less than the Yield stress of the material. If stress becomes more than yield stress of material then
there is a possibility of failure. Hence static analysis was performed to ensure that the proposed
design has factor of safety greater than one. Also due to cyclic load acting on the sprocket from
chain, it is important to test the sprocket for fatigue loading. In fatigue analysis fatigue life of
sprocket is calculated and it is ensured that the minimum fatigue life is higher for safe use of
sprocket for sufficient time period. After the minimum fatigue life, crack in the component
initiated, which further increases with time and leads to failure of component. Therefore it is
important for any component to have sufficient fatigue life. Chain and sprocket mechanisms
perform the same task as a belt and pulley system, i.e. they transfer motion and force from one
shaft to another. A belt can slip on a pulley but the teeth on the sprocket prevent the Chain from
slipping. A chain and sprocket is used wherever a positive, non-slip drive is required, e.g.
Bicycles, motorcycles, forklift mechanisms, and the camshaft drives in car petrol engines.
Figure 7.1 chain with sprocket
In an industrial facility, motors and turbines use energy to produce rotational mechanical motion.
In order to harness this motion to perform useful work, there must be a way to transmit it to other
components and machines. One method of power transmission is through the use of chain drives
and sprockets. Chain drives consist of an endless series of chain links, which mesh with toothed
sprockets. Chain drives are used to perform three basic functions: transmitting power, conveying
materials, and for timing purposes.
• Transmitting Power
• Conveying Materials
• Timing Purposes
The sprockets, which are fitted with the conveyor roller, are connected using chain and when the
motor is connected to the smaller sprocket end (since we need to reduce motor speed) and when
power input is given the system starts its motion and during this period the box which carries
empty bottle starts to move to its final destination.

Literature Review
Thomas Robins began a series of inventions which led to the development of a roller conveyor
used for carrying coal, ores and other products.

Material Selection
• Strength
• Corrosion resistance
• Easily availability
The material that satisfies our requirement is alloy steel, so alloy steel is our material.
Steel has a density of 7,850 kg/m 3, making it 7.85 times as dense as water. Its melting point of
1,510 C is higher than that of most metals. In comparison, the melting point of bronze is 1,040 C,
that of copper is 1,083 C, that of cast iron is 1,300 C, and that of nickel is 1,453 C. Tungsten,
however, melts at a searing 3,410 C, which is not surprising since this element is used in light
bulb filaments. Steel’s coefficient of linear expansion at 20 C, in µm per meter per degree
Celsius, is 11.1, which makes is more resistant to changing size with changes in temperature
than, for example, copper (16.7), tin (21.4) and lead (29.1).According to the American Iron and
Steel Institute (AISI), steels can be broadly categorized into four groups based on their chemical
compositions.
• Stainless Steels
• Tool Steels
• Carbon Steels
• Alloy Steels

Design Analysis
5.1.1 Plate
The plate is the component that bears the tension placed on the chain. Usually this is a repeated
loading, sometimes accompanied by shock. Therefore, the plate must have not only great static
tensile strength, but also must hold up to the dynamic forces of load and shock. Furthermore, the
plate must meet environmental resistance requirements (for instance corrosion, abrasion etc.)
Figure 9.1 plate
5.1.2 Pin
The first component is the pin. Typically these are manufactured out of carbon steel and
depending on the quality level, the pin can be thru-hardened, case hardened, or heat-treated. We
can also supply roller chain pins as stainless steel or nickel plated. The pin is subject to shearing
and bending forces transmitted by the plate. At the same time, it forms a load-bearing part,
together with the bushing, when the chain flexes during sprocket engagement. Therefore, the pin
needs high tensile and shear strength, resistance to bending, and also must have sufficient
endurance against shock and wear.
• Bushing
The bushing is subject to shearing and bending stresses transmitted by the plate and roller, and
also gets shock loads when the chain engages the sprocket. In addition, when the chain
articulates, the inner surface forms a load-bearing part together with the pin. The outer surface
also forms a load-bearing part with the roller's inner surface when the roller rotates on the rail or
engages the sprocket. Therefore, it must have great tensile strength against shearing and be
resistant to dynamic shock and wear Bushings are a crucial component for performance and wear
life and are available as solid or split configurations for both ANSI and ISO standard roller
chains.
5.1.4 Roller
The roller is subject to impact load as it strikes the sprocket teeth during the chain engagement
with the sprocket. After engagement, the roller changes its point of contact and balance. It is held
between the sprocket teeth and bushing, and moves on the tooth face while receiving a
compression load. Furthermore, the roller's inner surface constitutes a bearing part together with
the bushing's outer surface when the roller rotates on the rail. Therefore, it must be resistant to
wear and still have strength against shock, fatigue, and compression.
Figure 12.1 roller
• Less cost
• High strength
• Easy to maintain
• Adjustable length / Breakable. Because 35 pitch chain is relatively strong, it can afford to
compromise its strength and offer removable links. One of the biggest advantages of 35 pitch
chain is the ability to lengthen or shorten it with a removable link. This also proves an
enormous advantage where rear axles are driven ‘in- board’ with a sprocket between the
bearings.
• Higher Strength a. Because 35 pitch chain has marginally larger components, it has increased
strength.
• Lower Price a. Due to the ability to manufacture 35 pitch chain at good strength at a lower
quality of manufacture, prices can be lower.
• Larger Sprocket Diameter: Because 35 pitch chain has a larger pitch (9. 525mm), less links
occupy a given diameter of sprocket. That means a 35 sprocket with the same number of
teeth as a 219 pitch sprocket will be larger in diameter. This means a lower number of teeth
can be used compared to 219 pitch before the sprocket fouls the ground or chassis. This
reduces the gearing options.
• Less- smooth power transmission / reduced sprocket life: Because of the larger pitch, teeth
are further apart so a less even drive force is transmitted per square mm of sprocket tooth.
This increases the amount of stress on each tooth and provides a marginally reduced sprocket
lifespan.
From the table 5.1 (appendix) we can have the following values for chain size 35.

From table 5.2 (appendix) we can determine pin diameter, width, thickness of link plate.
Width=4.7625mm
Chain width=4.7625+2.54=7.30mm
From the table5.3 (appendix) for roller chain with V.R 2 the number of teeth on the smaller
sprocket is 27. Since V.R is 2 the number of teeth on the larger sprocket is 54.
P=9.53mm (chain pitch)
Breaking strength =106P2
= 106(9.53mm) 2
=9.63KN
Fig 14.1 terms used in sprocket
The sprocket type that is needed is simplex type which is in single gearing with the roller chain.
From the standard table5.4 (appendix) below we can get outside diameters, pitch diameter, and
other sprocket dimensions.
• For small sprocket having 27 number of teeth we get the following sprocket dimensions
(for simplex),
Outside diameter=144mm
Pitch diameter=136.75mm
Dm=85mm
D1=20mm
A=35mm
• For large sprocket having 57 number of teeth we get the following sprocket dimensions
(for simplex),
Outside diameter=296mm
Pitch diameter=286.18mm
Dm=108mm
D1=25mm
A=43mm
5.6.1 Principal Dimensions of Tooth Profile
The standard profiles for the teeth of a sprocket are shown in Fig. below the principal dimensions
of the tooth profile are as follows;
2500 =0.68 kW using interpolation we can determine the value for “x”
2550 =x
3000 =0.8 kW
The value of “x” becomes 0.75kw ~ from standard 1 H.P motor is recommended.
p= …=> n=
where W b = Breaking load in newton’s
v = Velocity of chain in m/s
n = Factor of safety, and
KS= Service factor = K1.K2.K3
The service factor (KS) is the product of various factors, such as load factor (K1), lubrication
factor (K2) and rating factor (K3). The values of these factors are taken as follows:
1. Load factor (K1) = 1, for constant load
= 1.25, for variable load with mild shock
= 1.5, for heavy shock loads
2. Lubrication factor (K2) = 0.8, for continuous lubrication
= 1, for drop lubrication
= 1.5, for periodic lubrication
3. Rating factor (K3) = 1, for 8 hours per day
= 1.25, for 16 hours per day
= 1.5, for continuous service
Ks= K1*K2*K3
=1*1.5*1.5
=2.25
n= =9630*3/746*2.25 = 4.78 ~ 5
The distance between two sprockets is 3 m it is the targeted distance that we need , but to
accommodate sagging we reduce the this center distance by 2-5 mm (Source; R.S Khurmi and
J.K Gupta , Machine Design , 4thed.2004. )
From the table below for a shaft diameter of 20 mm we can get width= 8mm
Considering shearing of the key; we know that shearing strength (or torque transmitted)
of the key,
T=l*w* = 3360 (l) N.mm………………………………………………………....eq1
And torsional shearing strength (or torque transmitted) of the shaft,
T= = 65973.4
N.mm………………………………………………………………………...eq2
From equations (1) and (2), we have
l = 19.63mm
Now considering crushing of the key. We know that shearing strength (or torque
transmitted) of other key,
T =l*…………….………………………………………………….…….eq3
Equating both torques we can get length of eq3
Tshear=Tcrush
l= 26.9mm~27mm
Taking larger of the two values, we have length of key,
l = 27mm
Considering shearing of the key; we know that shearing strength (or torque transmitted)
of they,
T=l*w* = 4200(l)N.mm……………………………....eq1

the key,
T =l*………….…….eq3
Tshear=Tcrush
l= 25.57mm
Taking larger of the two values, we have length of key,
l = 30.68mm
CHAPTER SIX
Result and Discussion
6.1 Result
D1 20mm 25mm
A 35mm 43mm
6.2 Discussion
In the roller chain since pin diameter is equal with the bush diameter it should be force fitted
during assembly and also the roller and bush should be force fitted during assembly. All the
plates have equal dimensions (inner, outer and intermediate plates).
Since our conveyor roller diameter is more than sprocket hub diameter we need to extend
conveyor roller diameter by weld a rod having a diameter equal with sprocket inner hub
diameter. The motor is connected with the small sprocket since we need the speed reduction.
CHAPTER SEVEN
• Prevent wear
Suggested Lubricants
Neither heavy oil nor grease is a suitable roller chain lubricant. Only high quality oil should be
used. Viscosity of the oil used will depend on the chain size, running speed and ambient
temperature. Recommended viscosity for temperature and size of chain can be found in the table
below. Regardless of the application and method of lubrication, the chain should be periodically
cleaned with a petroleum cleaner and inspected. Damage and/or reddish brown discoloration on
the pins and/or bushings indicate inadequate lubrication. For the majority of applications, a high-
quality, non-detergent, petroleum based or synthetic, multi grade SAE 20/50 oil will be suitable.
However, the temperature of the application needs to be considered, as low temperatures
increase the viscosity of the lubrication, whereas high temperatures may cause the lubricant to
dissipate, carbonize or deteriorate more quickly, leaving oil residues which may impact chain
performance.

Lubricant for our purpose since our working temperature is not more than 30 centigrade and due
to its availability and easy to apply and cost and due to its non-poisonousness.
Manual Lubrication
A B brush Periodically to keep chain joints from drying
B Dripping Lubrication Excess oil should be caught in a drip pan
• We select the first type of lubrication method since it best for the application of
this project due to its cost, availability, and ease to apply.

CHAPTER NINE
Conclusion & Recommendation
Motor driven chain and sprocket uses motor to transfer power from one shaft to anther to roll the
roller used to convey the bottle box from one place to anther the motor uses around 1hp power to
transfers motion with the length of the chain 6 meter. The advantage of this motor driven chain
and sprocket is used to facilitate the speed of the conveying box, and also increase the life
expectancy of the bottle box and avoiding labor force.
Finally we recommend that proper lubrication should be employed periodically and properly and
the conveyor should not be loaded more than the design factor of safety.
