About Belt Conveyors

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

A continuous belt is stretched over two or more pulleys (driven and idle).
One pulley (drive pulley) is powered by a motor, moving the belt forward.
The belt carries the material along the conveying path.
The material is loaded at the inlet and discharged at the outlet via gravity or scraper.

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
