About Industrial Conveyors

Industrial conveyors are horizontal, inclined, declined, or vertical machines which move materials from one place to another at a controlled rate. Performance specifications for industrial conveyors include maximum load, load capacity, speed, volume of material transported, mass flow of material, and number of pieces per minute. There are two main conveyor technologies: bulk material and unit handling. There are also many different conveyor types. Belt conveyors are the most popular type of product. These versatile, reliable industrial conveyors are made of an endless, fabric-covered belt that traverses between two or more pulleys and is supported by idler rolls at intermediate points. Belt conveyors can move materials ranging from fine powders to large, lumpy stones at belt speeds ranging from 20 to 300 m/min.
