SketchArt Engineering provides conveyor design services for equipment manufacturers, engineering teams and industrial plant operators. We develop mechanical layouts, 3D CAD models and manufacturing drawings for new conveyors and modifications to existing equipment.
Our work covers belt, chain and screw conveyors, feeders, bucket elevators and transfer points. We agree the design scope around your material properties, required capacity, available space and interfaces with other equipment.
What we design
Belt conveyors — power/tension, belt selection, idlers, pulleys, take-ups, skirting/sealing.
Chain/drag & flight conveyors — suited to abrasive or sticky materials.
Screw conveyors & feeders — troughs, hangers, inlets/outlets, drives.
Roller/gravity lines — accumulation and packaging interfaces.
Bucket elevators — correct head/boot geometry for vertical lift.
Transfer points and chutes — liners and dust control with clean access.
Each project begins with a thorough analysis of your material type, capacity requirements, and installation environment. We combine mechanical engineering precision with practical experience to create systems that meet both operational and maintenance needs.
Engineering scope
Power/tension sizing; shaft/bearing life; drive and guard selection.
Belt tracking, transitions and concave/convex radii; mechanical interfaces for pull-cords and interlocks, coordinated with your controls specialist.
Wear allowances and internal FEA of critical parts under agreed loads. This supports design development and is not certified sign-off.
Guarding and access details based on agreed EN/ISO requirements. The responsible specialists must complete overall machine risk assessment, controls validation and conformity assessment.
Deliverables
GA layouts and set-outs; fabrication drawings (DWG/DXF/PDF), STEP models, BOMs.
Clear interfaces to existing plant; vendor integration (motors, gearboxes, rollers, belting).
Installation notes and service clearances for coordination with your installation team. Drawings are submitted for client review and approval before fabrication.
Upgrades & retrofits
Spillage/carry-back reduction (skirting, cleaners, chute geometry).
Mis-tracking fixes and belt life improvements.
Mechanical changes for revised throughput or operating speed, coordinated with your drive and controls suppliers.
Access platforms and guarding developed to the requirements agreed for the project.
To scope the work, send your material data, target capacity, layout or site dimensions, existing drawings and required delivery date. We will confirm the mechanical design tasks, required inputs, file formats and review stages.
Planning a new conveyor or modifying existing equipment? Send your brief, layout and material data to our team. We will review the mechanical design scope and confirm the next steps.
