6. Dr. C. L. Jones Biosystems and Ag. Engineering Gravity conveyors Consist of rollers or wheels set on a level or a slight incline. Material is moved by hand or by gravity. Intermittent service Used as a support aide with external power. Lecture 20 – Materials Handling (Chpt 8 Henderson/Perry) (Chpt 8 Henderson/Perry)

7. Dr. C. L. Jones Biosystems and Ag. Engineering Cranes, trucks and carts Cranes are not used extensively in ag services but are used largely for construction Trucks, fork lifts and carts: –Used in warehouses and shipping units –Generally handle large bulky items –Can handle variable location items –Must consider labor efficiency and time/motion studies –Included would be bale spikes and some bale loaders Lecture 20 – Materials Handling (Chpt 8 Henderson/Perry) (Chpt 8 Henderson/Perry)

8. Dr. C. L. Jones Biosystems and Ag. Engineering Example: A bucket elevator has buckets similar to the configuration in Fig. 8.10(b). The belt speed is 35 ft/min and there are 52 buckets on the belt. The lift is 92 ft. Calculate the HP. Lecture 20 – Materials Handling (Chpt 8 Henderson/Perry) (Chpt 8 Henderson/Perry)
