WHAT IS A BELT CONVEYOR?
A Belt Conveyor is a mechanical material handling system that uses a continuous belt loop to transport bulk or unit materials over a horizontal or inclined path. It is widely used in industries for efficient, fast, and safe transfer of material.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
TYPES OF BELT CONVEYORS
Type | Description | Use Case |
Flat Belt Conveyor | Simple horizontal transport of unit goods | Assembly lines, packing stations |
Inclined/Declined Conveyor | Transports material at angles | Loading/unloading, bins |
Cleated Belt Conveyor | Belt has raised cleats to carry materials uphill | Chips, grains, granules |
Trough Belt Conveyor | Belt edges are curled to form a trough | Bulk solids (coal, sand, ores) |
Modular/Plastic Belt Conveyor | Belt made of plastic links | Food, pharma, clean room |
Heavy-Duty Belt Conveyor | Designed for large loads, harsh conditions | Mining, cement, steel plants |
