A pneumatic conveying system is similar to a belt or chain conveyor in terms of material handling. The primary benefit of a pneumatic conveying system is that the material is moved in a closed loop, preventing contamination of the environment and vice versa. Different parameters that determine the design of the system, such as air velocity, pressure, particle size and shape, distance to be conveyed, are described in this topic. The findings from the research on the pneumatic conveying system during the last decade that took these parameters into account are also provided. For the design of a pneumatic conveying system, there is no standard approach. As the system's configuration changes, the variables involved change as well, necessitating a change in design considerations based on the applications. As a result, in the field of pneumatic conveying systems, there is a lot of scope for experimenting. The material handling mechanism is accomplished by reciprocating a double acting cylinder that is controlled by a solenoid-operated 5/2-way DC valve that is actuated by an ON/OFF relay control system. The chain and sprocket wheel mechanism converts the linear action of the piston rod into rotational motion of the belt conveyor. We will construct a system in which the conveyor's moving roller is driven by a pneumatic cylinder in this project. The pneumatic cylinder will begin to reciprocate, and a power plate with holes will begin to roll along the sprocket. The sprocket begins to rotate unidirectionally due to the power provided by the cylinder piston and power plate. As a result, our belt conveyor begins to move.
