Conveyor System : A conveyor belt is used to transport or convey particles, raw materials
or finished products from one place to another. It consists of two end
pulleys which are powdered by a motor to move the material on the belt
forward. Belt conveyors are widely used in agriculture, transport and
manufacturing units. These conveying systems are more successful and
popular commercially rather than local or personal purpose. A number of
machines are equipped with the conveying belt systems for ease of
movement of materials and finished products. These machines ensure high
level of efficiency in transporting products.
Type of Conveyor Belts
- Non Woven Belts :These conveying belts are one of the strongest,
making use of a single ply of a very strong fabric that is generally
interlocked. These belts are tear resistant, cut resistant, impact
resistant. Non woven belts hold fasteners better and are less likely
to be knocked off the track.
- Plied Rubber Belts: These belts are manufactured by weaving thin
fabric and plying it with different types of natural or synthetic
rubber. It is one of the least expensive conveyor belting system
having excellent elastomeric properties.
- Plied Thermoplastic Belts:These belt systems are thinner,
stronger more flexible than the other kinds of belts. It is one the
recent and modern kind of conveyor belting system in use by various
industries. These belts require less horsepower because of thinness.
This system essentially makes use of PVC, RMV and polyurethane
plastic elastomers.
- Plastic Modular Belts: These conveying systems are assembled in a
bricklayer pattern for providing lateral strength. Modular designing
of this system enables easy installation and without using
uncomplicated tools or fasteners.
- Heavy duty Rubber Belts: These conveying belt systems are thick,
strong and used for for abrasion and impact resistance.
Application of Conveyor Belt
- Pharmaceuticals
- Chemicals
- Neutraceuticals
- Agriculture
- Food and Beverage
