Conveyor belt basics: Understand the basics of material handling
2024-03-04

What's a conveyor belt? A conveyor belt is a dynamic based mechanical device that consists of a belt and can be used to transport various types of materials such as raw materials, finished products and tools. The conveyor belt can operate to transport material from one place to another. It is an indispensable part of modern industry and business, and has applications in many industries. The main component of a conveyor belt is its strap, which is usually made of a high-strength material, such as rubber, polyester or polyvinyl chloride. The tape is placed on an automatic machine and is transported and driven to transport material from one place to another. The driving source of the conveyor belt can be an electric motor or a reducer.

Types of conveyor belts There are many types of conveyor belts, each type used for a different purpose. The most common types of conveyors include translation conveyors, wheeled conveyors, and roller conveyors. Translation conveyor belts are commonly used for horizontal material transportation, such as parts transportation on factory lines. The roller conveyor is usually used for non-horizontal material transport, such as transporting coal from one place to another in a mine. Wheeled conveyors are commonly used for material handling, and other operations such as rotation can be performed on them. In addition, there are more complex conveyor belt types, such as curved conveyor belts and sloping conveyor belts. Curved conveyor belts are commonly used to transfer material from one place to another and can be achieved along curved trajectories. The slope conveyor belt is usually used for vertical transportation of materials. Each conveyor type has its own unique uses and advantages and disadvantages.
