This paper includes the design of belt conveyor system where the moving roller of the conveyor is powered by a pneumatic cylinder. Pneumatic cylinder will starts reciprocating and by using rack and pinion mechanism the reciprocating motion converts into the rotary motion. These rotary motions further transmit using freewheel-sprocket chain drive to the drive pulley of conveyor. Due to power given by cylinder piston, rack -pinion and freewheel-sprocket chain drives the shaft of pulley starts rotating unidirectional. Hence our belt conveyor is also starts rolling.

38. Conclusion
The design of conveyor belt system and the factors which are to be
considered are totally depending upon Capacity of material conveyed
and center distance between pulley.
Using rack and pinion mechanism the positioning control of belt
conveyor is easily done by controlling pneumatic cylinder.
For the belt conveyor which operated by the pneumatic cylinder is
simple mechanism and reduce the additional part required to control
the motion of conveyor belt drive.
One direction motion of conveyor belt is easily achieved using
freewheel mechanism.
39. The material carrying capacity is improved by using high strength belt
conveyor.
Automation is done using PLC can help to increase accuracy.
By using idlers it can be used to handle material for long distance
