About Conveyor Components

Conveyor components are parts and accessories for industrial conveyors, machines that transport bulk materials at a controlled rate. They are used to build new systems, modify existing equipment, or improve conveyor performance. There are many different types of conveyor components. Conveyor type is the most important specification to consider. Maximum load is also an important consideration. In terms of features, some conveyor components are made of anti-static materials that prevent the build-up or discharge of an electrical field. Others are designed to move corrosive or hazardous materials. Sanitary and washdown-capable conveyor components are also available. Typically, sanitary products meet requirements from regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
