v    Abstract:

The design and analysis of a Z conveyor system for effective material handling in processing or industrial settings is the main goal of the study. The "Z" shaped conveyor is made up of two horizontal passages joined by a vertical or angled segment. For performance, stability, and longevity, the design parameters—such as frame construction, motor power, load capacity, and conveyor belt selection—are maximized. Consideration is given to important elements such as energy consumption, material properties, tension control, drive systems, load distribution, and speed regulation. Using both real-world case studies and modeling tools, the study assesses the system's performance and efficiency under various operating situations. For dependable and reasonably priced material handling solutions, the findings highlight the significance of meticulous design and maintenance procedures.

Key words: Z-type conveyor, SolidWorks simulation, CAD modeling, material selection, material handling, stress analysis, food industry conveyor, industrial automation, load capacity.
