In production industries and assembly sectors, the transportation of various parts within the plant and even outside the plant is crucial. For this, several types of shipment methods exist. These conveying methods are generally based on different materials that are transferred, their chemical and physical properties and so on. Glass is the best delicate substance that needs to be handled so cautiously in the manufacturing sectors. This paper provides the considerations and design calculations of the roller conveyer that is to be used for transporting the glass in the perpendicular direction. The roller convey or designed is powered, and different types of rollers are used rather than using conventional cylindrical rollers. The most important aspect of the design is to move the glass in the L-type conveyer without rotating the glass. Upon the successful completion of this project, a conveyer set-up is able to haul the glass in ninety degrees without changing the orientation and direction of the glass.
