Types of Conveyor Systems
How Conveyor Systems Work
Conveyor systems work by using a continuous loop of material, typically a belt or chain, that moves along a series of rollers or pulleys. As the material moves along the conveyor, it can be transported horizontally, vertically, or at an incline. Various components, such as motors, gears, and drives, work together to power the conveyor and move the material along the system.
Categories of Conveyor Systems
There are two categories of conveyor systems: bulk material handling systems and unit material handling systems. Bulk material handling systems are used to move large volumes of materials, while unit material handling systems are used to move individual units or items.
Basic Components of a Conveyor System
Conveyor systems typically include several basic components, such as the conveyor belt or chain, rollers or pulleys, motors, gears, and drives. Other components may include sensors, switches, and controllers to monitor and control the operation of the conveyor system.
Conveyor Types
There are six main types of conveyor systems, including belt conveyors, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, screw conveyors, bucket conveyors, and vibrating conveyors. Each type is designed for specific applications and has unique features and benefits.
Motors Used in Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems typically use electric motors to power the movement of materials along the conveyor. The type of motor used depends on the specific application and the requirements of the conveyor system.
Hazards Associated with Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems can pose several hazards to workers, including entanglement, pinch points, and falling objects. It’s essential to take steps to identify and address potential hazards to ensure the safety of workers who operate and maintain conveyor systems.
Difference Between Belt Conveyor and Chain Conveyor
Difference Between Belt Conveyor and Conveyor Belt
“Belt conveyor” and “conveyor belt” are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. A conveyor belt is the material that moves along the conveyor system, while a belt conveyor is the machine that moves the conveyor belt. A conveyor belt can be made from various materials, such as rubber, fabric, or metal, and can come in a variety of sizes and shapes depending on the specific application.
Why Preventative Maintenance?
Workplace Safety
Cost Savings
Having your conveyor checked and serviced on a regular basis, as a preventative measure may reduce if not potentially eliminate the necessity for major repair. Repairs cannot only be expensive but also disruptive at times. Lengthening the period in between repairs by ensuring routine maintenance makes more economic sense.
