Mechanical Conveying

Mechanical Conveying Systems: The are several types of mechanical conveying systems. Belt Conveyors, consisting of two or more pulleys with a continuous belt that rotates about them, are used for general material handling such as moving boxes or transporting bulk materials. Elevator belts, having regularly spaced partitions, are used for transporting loose materials up steep inclines. Snake Sandwich Belt Conveyors use two face-to-face belts to gently but firmly contain the product being transported. Vibrating Conveyors, with trough shaped solid conveying surfaces, move product by vibration and slope. Roller Conveyors move product along a bed of small wheels that are either motor or gravity driven.
