I need a complete mechanical design for an indexing conveyor that will feed plastic bags smoothly through a packaging station. The system must singulate, space, and present the bags in a repeatable, accurate manner so our downstream equipment can pick, fill, and seal without interruption. Scope of work • Develop a concept that fits within a 1.5 m footprint and supports up to 120 bags per minute. • Provide 3D CAD models, detailed manufacturing drawings, and a concise bill of materials. • Specify drives, sensors, and controls required for reliable bag indexing (servo or stepper welcome; I am flexible as long as parts are readily available). • Address static buildup and bag slippage typical with thin plastic film. • Deliver layout files that show how the conveyor ties into our existing packaging line. Acceptance criteria 1. CAD files open natively in SolidWorks 2. Drawings include clear tolerances and material call-outs. 3. Demonstrated cycle time of 120 bags/minute through simple simulation or hand calculations. 4. All off-the-shelf components are noted with supplier and lead time. If you have designed conveyors for plastic bag applications before, please briefly share a similar project or attach a rendering so I can evaluate fit.

Hello, Your project is exactly the type of industrial automation and machine design work I've been involved with over the last 4+ years. I've designed manufacturing equipment, welding fixtures, material handling systems, and custom automation solutions for OEM applications, where reliability, throughput, and manufacturability are critical. What stands out in your requirement is the need to consistently handle thin plastic bags at 120 bags/minute. In my experience, the real challenge is not the conveyor itself, but achieving accurate bag separation, indexing repeatability, and minimizing issues caused by static buildup and product slippage. These considerations need to be addressed early in the design phase to avoid performance issues during commissioning. My approach would be to develop a complete indexing solution including conveyor mechanics, drive sizing, sensor placement, servo/stepper selection, and integration with your existing packaging line. I can provide a fully parametric SolidWorks assembly, manufacturing drawings, BOM, and performance calculations to validate the target cycle rate.
