A belt conveyor system is one of many types of conveyor systems. A belt conveyor system consists of two or more pulleys (sometimes referred to as drums), with a closed loop of carrying medium—the conveyor belt—that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward.
A sortation conveyor system is used for merging, identifying, inducting, and separating products to be conveyed to specific destinations, and typically consists of flat-belt, roller, and chute conveyor segments together with various moveable arms and/or pop-up wheels and chains that deflect, push, or pull products to different destinations.
A screw conveyor or auger conveyor is a mechanism that uses a rotating helical screw blade, called a "flighting", usually within a tube, to move liquid or granular materials. They are used in many bulk handling industries.
A conveyor system is often the lifeline to a company's ability to effectively move its product in a timely fashion. The steps that a company can take to ensure that it performs at peak capacity, include regular inspections and system audits, close monitoring of motors and reducers, keeping key parts in stock, and proper training of personnel.
The cross-belt sorter operates in several stages: Induction: Items are fed typically at an angle of 30˚ or 45˚ onto the moving sorter through a series of conveyors that accelerate the item to the sorter speed. The cross-belt then activates and the item is inducted to the sorter cell at null relative speed.
Conveyor transport is the broad category of transport modes that includes modes developed from the idea of a conveyor belt. Examples include: Conveyor belt, two or more pulleys, with a continuous loop of material that rotates about them; Escalator, a moving staircase, for carrying people between floors of a building; Moving sidewalk, for ...
A conveyor pulley is a mechanical device used to change the direction of the belt in a conveyor system, to drive the belt, and to tension the belt.Modern pulleys are made of rolled shells with flexible end disks and locking assemblies.
Rather than the user powering a mill, the device provides a moving platform with a wide conveyor belt driven by an electric motor or a flywheel. The belt moves to the rear, requiring the user to walk or run at a speed matching the belt. The rate at which the belt moves is the rate of walking or running.
