Product details
A belt conveyor is a simple and widely used mechanical system that transports materials using a continuous belt loop powered by motors and supported by rollers. It’s ideal for moving products over long distances or through production lines. ⚙️ How It Works: A belt (usually made of rubber, fabric, or PVC) loops around drive and idler pulleys. A motorized pulley moves the belt, carrying items from one point to another. Rollers or slider beds support the belt and help maintain its shape. 🧱 Types of Belt Conveyors: Flat Belt Conveyor – Basic type for general material handling. Inclined/Declined Belt Conveyor – Moves items up or down between elevations. Trough Belt Conveyor – Belt is curved (like a trough); used for loose materials (e.g., coal, sand). Cleated Belt Conveyor – Has vertical cleats to hold items in place on inclines. Modular Belt Conveyor – Uses plastic segments; durable and easy to clean. ✅ Advantages: Versatile – Handles a wide range of materials and products Cost-effective Low maintenance Can span long distances Works well with automated systems 📦 Common Applications: Manufacturing and assembly lines Food processing Airport baggage handling Warehousing and logistics Mining and agriculture
