The mechanization of production, some types of agricultural and logistic (loading, unloading) processes originates from belt conveyors, which became actively used at the beginning of the last century. They are still quite popular and in demand today thanks to:
- The simplicity of the device.
- Ease of installation.
- Low cost.
Also referred to as conveyor production and technological solutions of certain tasks imply the use of conveyors for transporting goods over certain distances ), this mechanism can be classified into several types depending on its device.
Direct Devices
It is based on the principle of using a flexible, elastic and, at the same time, strong tape, which is driven by special roller guides due to the rotation of the drum. Such devices are considered the most productive and can move loads (have a length) up to 10 km.
Grooved conveyors
The base for the conveyor belt is a roller support made of steel or aluminum in the form of grooves. Allows you to move not only packed, but also bulk cargo (coal, sand, crushed stone).
Inclined conveyors
The principle of the device is similar to the grooved and straight conveyors, but they have a certain (predetermined by the manufacturer or changed according to the necessary parameters during operation) angle of inclination.
Slewing conveyors
In some areas of industrial activity, it is necessary to use a conveyor device capable of turning in a given place at a required angle. Such systems use special mechanisms for transmitting torque.
