I need detailed engineering for a chain-and-slat conveyor line that will carry processed biomass chips at loads above 1 000 kg. The scope covers full mechanical design plus a precise cutting list so my fabrication shop can move straight into production. Please base the work on standard industrial practice for heavy-duty conveyors: robust chain selection, slat arrangement that prevents chip spillage, and frame sizing that resists continuous high-load operation. I will supply basic layout dimensions once we start; from there I expect you to prepare 2D/3D CAD models, strength calculations where relevant, and a clearly itemised bill of materials with cut lengths, plate sizes, chain specs and purchased parts. Deliverables • Native CAD files (SolidWorks or AutoCAD are fine) and exported PDFs/DXF for laser cutting • BOM and cutting list cross-referenced to the drawings • Simple assembly guidance or exploded views so the shop team can follow the build sequence I’ll review the drawings against fit, capacity (>1 000 kg) and ease of fabrication before sign-off, so allow for one round of revisions.

Hi, there This conveyor needs more than a layout model; it has to be buildable under heavy continuous load. I can develop the chain-and-slat conveyor in SolidWorks or AutoCAD from your layout dimensions. The design will focus on chain capacity, slat spacing, chip containment, frame stiffness, and fabrication logic. I can prepare 2D/3D CAD shop-ready DXF/PDF outputs. The BOM and cutting list will be cross-referenced to drawings for plates, profiles, chain, shafts, and bought parts. For the slats, I will pay attention to overlap, side clearance, and spillage control for biomass chips. What conveyor length, incline angle, speed, and chip bulk density should the design be based on? After your review, I can include one round of revisions to refine the fabrication details. You will receive a practical package that the shop can use directly for production. Best regards, Valentin

I can help design the heavy-duty chain-and-slat conveyor line and prepare a production-ready CAD, BOM, and cutting list package for your fabrication shop. I am Irish, now living in the Philippines, with 15+ years of mechanical design and fabrication experience. I am an Autodesk Inventor specialist and a qualified metal fabricator, with strong experience in conveyors, welded frames, brackets, guards, sheet metal parts, fabrication drawings, cut lists, and shop-ready manufacturing packages. For this project, I can create the 2D and 3D CAD design for the conveyor frame, chain path, slat layout, drive and tail sections, supports, guards, chip containment details, and fabricated components. I can also prepare strength checks where relevant for the frame, supports, chain loading, slat spacing, and high-load operating areas. I can provide native CAD files, STEP files, PDFs, DXF laser-cut profiles, detailed fabrication drawings, BOM, cutting list, purchased-part list, chain specifications, plate sizes, and simple assembly guidance or exploded views. My focus will be a robust industrial conveyor design that can handle over 1,000 kg of biomass chips, reduce spillage, and remain practical for cutting, welding, assembling, and maintenance. I can work from your layout dimensions and then allow for one revision after your shop review.
