Different kinds of industrial used belts

Conveyor Systems are mechanical devices or assemblies that transport material with minimal effort. While there are many different kinds of conveyor

systems, they usually consist of a frame that supports either rollers, wheels, or a belt, upon which materials move from one place to another. They may be

powered by a motor, by gravity, or manually. These material handling systems come in many different varieties to suit the different products or materials

that need to be transported.

Conveyor Belt System Speed/Rated Speed

Belt conveyors are typically rated in terms of belt speed in ft/min. while powered roller conveyors described the linear velocity in similar units to a

package, carton, etc. moving over the powered rollers. Rated speed applies to apron/slat conveyors and drag/chain/tow conveyors as well.

Belt Conveyors are material handling systems that use continuous belts to convey

products or material. The belt is extended in an endless loop between two end-pulleys.  Usually, one or both ends have a roll underneath. The conveyor

belting is supported by either a metal slider pan for light loads where no friction would be applied to the belt to cause drag or on rollers. Power is

provided by motors that use either variable or constant speed reduction gears.

The belts themselves can be made from numerous materials, which should correspond to the conditions under which the belt will be operating. Common

conveyor belting materials include rubber, plastic, leather, fabric, and metal. Transporting a heavier load means a thicker and stronger construction of

conveyor belting material is required. Belt conveyors are typically powered and can be operated at various speeds depending on the throughput required. The

conveyors can be operated horizontally or can be inclined as well. Belt conveyors can be troughed for bulk or large materials.
