Conveyor system

A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves

materials from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in applications
involving the transportation of heavy or bulky materials. Conveyor systems allow quick and
efficient transportation for a wide variety of materials, which make them very popular in
the material handling and packaging industries
Industries that use conveyor systems
Conveyor systems are used widespread across a range of industries due to the numerous
benefits they provide.
Conveyors are able to safely transport materials from one level to another, which when
done by human labor would be strenuous and expensive.
They can be installed almost anywhere, and are much safer than using a forklift or other
machine to move materials.
They can move loads of all shapes, sizes and weights. Also, many have advanced safety
features that help prevent accidents.
There are a variety of options available for running conveying systems, including
the hydraulic, mechanical and fully automated systems, which are equipped to fit individual
needs.
Conveyor systems are commonly used in many industries, including
the automotive, agricultural, computer, electronic, food
processing,

aerospace, pharmaceutical, chemical, bottling and canning, print finishing
and packaging. Although a wide variety of materials can be conveyed, some of the most
common include food items such as beans and nuts, bottles and cans, automotive components,
scrap metal, pills and powders, wood and furniture and grain and animal feed. Many factors are
important in the accurate selection of a conveyor system. It is important to know how the
conveyor system will be used beforehand. Some individual areas that are helpful to consider are
the required conveyor operations, such as transportation, accumulation and sorting, the material
sizes, weights and shapes and where the loading and pickup points need to be.
