Abstract - The aim of this project is to produce the mechanical design of a conveyor system for unloading heavy goods. The current unloading process of heavy goods like LPG gas cylinder is improper which may lead to some major problems. This design of conveyor system will overcome those mistakes done during unloading of LPG gas cylinders. The thorough study is to be done on various designs of conveyor system. From the data analyzed at simple and cost-efficient design of conveyor belt is done. Design of this conveyor system is performed using Solid works and Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). Keywords: Conveyor, Cylinder, Unloading, LPG, System
1.INTRODUCTION
Fig -1,2: Current unloading process of LPG gas cylinder
The major problem in any organization is material handling from one processing station to another. This major problem is solved by conveyor systems. Conveyor belts play a significant role in material handling in any manufacturing unit or dispatching unit. But in small sales industries or warehouses, it becomes financially impossible for that organization to install a conveyor system. There more human efforts are required and this leads to some major human errors. There more human efforts are required and this leads to some major human errors. At small-scale organizations like an LPG gas cylinder warehouse, the unloading process of LPG gas cylinders is done by a conventional method. The LPG gas cylinders are directly thrown from the truck towards the land. This practice may lead to the leakage of LPG gas cylinders and many other damages. This is the complete financial loss of the organization because of the improper unloading process.

Given various standards of operation, there are diverse transport frameworks to be specific: gravity, belt, screw, chain, spiral, grain conveyor systems, etc. The decision however relies upon the volume to be transported, the stature or separation of transportation, and the nature of the material.
A belt consists of an endless and flexible loop of superior material, with two end pulleys (driver and driven) fixed in place and supported by rollers. Pulleys are utilized for giving the drive to the belt through the sprocket and wheel mechanism operated by the human hand
