Cereal Shaker Horizontal Motion Conveyor
The goal in this project is to design, build, and test a small-scale horizontal motion conveyor system to transport cereal during processing. The design scope includes (1) the drive mechanism, (2) the pan, (3) the supports, and (4) all associated hardware. The system performance will be assessed by (1) minimizing the design mass, (2) the volume of cereal moved 3.5 feet in one minute, and (3) the lowest variance in distribution of the cereal. Students will utilize materials and manufacturing capabilities from the Manufacturing Teaching Laboratory, steel pans donated by U.S. Steel, as well as premade components.
