Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Grain Conveyor Transfer Loss

This Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering final year project investigates measuring spillage in a guarded low-speed transfer demonstrator, linking a defined agricultural engineering need to a bounded model or supervised teaching experiment.

Why choose this project topic?

The project concentrates on measuring spillage in a guarded low-speed transfer demonstrator, giving the study a practical farm or processing context without requiring a full commercial installation. Comparing spillage fraction, transfer consistency and throughput supports useful diagrams, calculations and a critical discussion of the evidence and its limits.

How do the selected agricultural system design choices affect spillage fraction, transfer consistency and throughput when measuring spillage in a guarded low-speed transfer demonstrator?

Choose an accessible approved teaching setup or explicitly fictional farm case, then agree the parameter range and evaluation plan for measuring spillage in a guarded low-speed transfer demonstrator.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the system, operating assumptions and evidence required for measuring spillage in a guarded low-speed transfer demonstrator.
  2. 02Use inert approved granules, compare chute alignment and flow rates and recover all material for a mass balance.
  3. 03Evaluate spillage fraction, transfer consistency and throughput and report uncertainty and practical constraints.

A suggested research approach

Use inert approved granules, compare chute alignment and flow rates and recover all material for a mass balance. Agree the protocol and any equipment use with a qualified supervisor before work begins. Check units, calibration and model assumptions, compare spillage fraction, transfer consistency and throughput with a stated reference, and distinguish laboratory or simulated outcomes from field performance.

What you will need

  • Guarded tabletop conveyor
  • Approved inert granules
  • Calibrated balance

Keep your project scope clear

A teaching rig does not certify commercial grain handling or dust-explosion safety.
