• Transportno inženjerstvo, konstrukcije i logistika, Semester 2, position 3

The main goal of this course is to acquaint students with material handling machines and conveying machines, types and design solutions and principles of work. The goal is to introduce students to master the practical skills needed to perform the engineering profession, such as the main machine parameters, load analysis, selection of drive units and calculation of the capacity.

By completing this course student acquires ability to: • determine bulk and solid materials characteristics • determine conveying machine's throughput/capacity in accordance with project requirements and type of conveyed material • calculate and choose conveyor drive • calculate basic parameters and components of belt conveyor • calculate basic basic parameters and components of apron conveyor • calculate basic basic parameters and components of screw conveyor • calculate basic basic parameters and components of bucket elevator
