# Industrial Specification: Infeed/Outfeed Conveyor

## 1. Technical Definition
A conveyor system component of a depyrogenation tunnel responsible for the automated loading (infeed) and unloading (outfeed) of containers or vials.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s linear speed, 0.1-1.0 kN belt tension, 20-60°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Belt tension exceeding 1.2 kN causes permanent deformation of polyurethane belt material, motor torque exceeding 15 N·m causes gearbox shear failure, linear speed below 0.3 m/s causes container jamming**, Mechanism: **Polyurethane belt material undergoes plastic deformation at tensile stress &gt; 3.5 MPa (Hooke's Law elastic limit exceeded), gear teeth experience Hertzian contact stress &gt; 1.8 GPa causing subsurface fatigue cracks, insufficient kinetic energy (KE=½mv²) at low speeds prevents overcoming static friction coefficients &gt; 0.4**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Tractive Power & Resistance Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = \frac{F \cdot v}{\eta}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures motor torque capacity exceeds operational inertia.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| F | Total Tractive Resistance | Engineering Constant |
| v | Belt Speed | Engineering Constant |
| \eta | Efficiency | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| AC motor phase imbalance exceeding 5% causes 120% current in remaining phases | 8 | Motor winding insulation breakdown at 155°C Class F thermal limit | Three-phase current monitoring relay with 2% imbalance trip threshold and PTC thermistor embedded in stator windings |
| Belt tracking misalignment &gt; 3mm causes edge loading on 6204-2RS bearings | 8 | Bearing cage fracture from asymmetric radial loads exceeding 4.5 kN dynamic capacity | Laser-aligned tracking rollers with 0.5mm precision and vibration monitoring accelerometers detecting &gt; 4.0 mm/s RMS velocity |

- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in your infeed/outfeed conveyors for depyrogenation applications?
**A**: Our conveyors feature AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel construction with food-grade conveyor belt materials such as silicone or PTFE-coated fabric, ensuring compliance with pharmaceutical and food safety standards.

### Q: How does the sensor array improve conveyor operation in depyrogenation tunnels?
**A**: The photoelectric sensor array provides precise detection and positioning of containers/vials, enabling automated loading/unloading, preventing jams, and ensuring smooth integration with depyrogenation processes.

### Q: Can your infeed/outfeed conveyors handle different container sizes in pharmaceutical applications?
**A**: Yes, with adjustable guide rails and customizable conveyor belt configurations, our systems accommodate various vial and container sizes while maintaining precise handling throughout the depyrogenation cycle.
