Belt Conveyors

A belt conveyor is a conveyor consisting essentially of a powered belt made of canvas, rubber or metal, on top of rollers or a slide pan.

These conveyors can be horizontal or vertically inclined to move product through a facility. Belt conveyors are a cost-efficient mode of moving product and are especially applicable to situations where the product is irregularly shaped or does not have a flat bottom.

Because a continuous belt makes contact with the product, there is enough friction created to allow these conveyors to convey at an incline, decline, or horizontally.
