Introduction to Conveyor Types and Applications
Conveyors are essential mechanical handling systems used across industries to transport materials efficiently. Below is an overview of common conveyor types and their primary applications:
1. Belt Conveyor
Description: Utilizes a continuous moving belt to carry materials.
Applications:
Mining (coal/ore transport)
Packaging lines
Airport baggage handling
2. Roller Conveyor
Description: Features parallel rollers powered by gravity or motors.
Applications:
Warehousing (pallet/box movement)
Manufacturing assembly lines
Postal sorting systems
3. Chain Conveyor
Description: Employs chains to drag or carry heavy loads.
Applications:
Automotive manufacturing
Heavy machinery transport
Paint finishing lines
4. Screw Conveyor
Description: Uses a rotating helical screw to move bulk materials.
Applications:
Food processing (grain, flour)
Wastewater treatment
Cement industry
5. Pneumatic Conveyor
Description: Transports materials through pipes using air pressure.
Applications:
Pharmaceutical powder handling
Plastic pellet transport
Flour milling
6. Overhead Conveyor
Description: Suspended system that carries goods from above.
Applications:
Garment industry
Paint shops
Slaughterhouses
7. Bucket Elevator
Description: Vertical transport system using attached buckets.
Applications:
Grain silos
Fertilizer plants
Mineral processing
Key Selection Factors:
Material characteristics (size, weight, abrasiveness)
Required throughput capacity
Environmental conditions (temperature, moisture)
Space constraints
Modern conveyors often incorporate automation and IoT technology for improved efficiency and tracking capabilities in smart factories and distribution centers.
