At the initial stage of designing a production workshop, a number of technical and economic problems arise. Using the GPSS World package, a belt conveyor model was built to simulate loading and unloading a production line. The model reflects the geometric, kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the conveyor. Loads of four types, different in weight and size, are loaded randomly. Unloading is carried out at the end of the conveyor or at intermediate points, depending on the type of cargo. To test the model, a test was carried out with one type of load with movement through the entire conveyor. The experimental results correspond to the calculated data and the actual performance of the conveyor. Received statistics on loading sections of the pipeline and queues before loading.
