Gaining professional knowledge about the design of transport processes, material flow, transport machines and equipment.

The acquired knowledge can be used in practice for the devilment of preliminary and main projects, optimal choice and exploitation of transport systems and equipment.

Introduction. Transport material. Characteristics of piece and bulk material. Calculation and construction of mechanical transporters. Transporters with a traction element (ribbon, plate, rake, suspension and elevator). Transporters without a traction element (gravitation, vibration, cylinder and worm. Calculation and construction of specific devices of continuous transport (elevators, cable cars, pneumatic transport, …) Calculation and construction of machines and devices of automated transport (automatically controlled vehicles, manipulators and industrial robots, flexible monorail and double rail gantry cranes, electrical descent decelerators…) Fundamentals of control of machines and equipment with continuous operation. Basic characteristics of transporting systems design.

Teaching takes the form of lectures, auditory, laboratory and computer practice classes.
