Basic Information Everyone Should Know About Conveyors

By Dorothy Gray


A conveyor system refers to a mechanical device used for moving materials from one place to another. These pieces of equipment are particularly useful in applications that involve the transportation of heavy and bulky materials. Conveyors are very popular and useful in the packaging and material handling industries because they provide a quick and efficient means of transporting a wide range of materials.

Most industries have been using conveyor systems for quite some time now. The advantages of these systems have led to their wide adoption in several industries. They provide safe transportation of materials in a cheap manner. The use of human labor to transport such materials would be too expensive and strenuous. Thus, the devices are installed as a way of cutting costs and improving efficiency and safety within the work environment.

Secondly, these devices incorporate a lot of flexibility so that they can be installed anywhere. Modern technology allows for production of systems that can be used in various settings and environments. Similarly, the designs of the devices allow for transportation of loads of different shapes, sizes, and weights. Therefore, loads of different characteristics can be moved using these systems without much trouble.

Lastly, modern conveyor systems are designed in a way as to ensure the safety of the operator and material. They include several safety features that can be exploited by the user to guarantee safe operation over the life time of the machine. There are also various options available for running conveying systems. Such options include fully automated, mechanical, and hydraulic systems. Most of them are also customized to suit individual needs.

The use of conveyor systems is in many industries. However, the systems have been used in some industries for longer than in others. Among the industries they are used in include bottling, aerospace, pharmaceutical, electronic, automotive, food processing, agriculture, chemical, print fishing, canning, and packaging. In these industries, they are used to move various materials. Some of the materials include automotive components, wood, pills, scrap, bottles, furniture, grain, nuts, metal, powder, cans, and animal feed.

These devices were first adopted several years ago, but they are still being adopted. Many purchases are happening and new applications are being formulated. Industries such as construction are adopting the use of the devices although they previously did not use them. Growth seems to be highest in Asia, North America, and Europe. Of all types of these devices, the one that are frequently being used include line shaft roller conveyor, conveyor belts, and chain conveyor.

There are very many types of conveyor devices. The main ones include gravity, bucket, flexible, chain, gravity skatewheel, plastic belt, pneumatic, lineshaft roller, screw, spiral, vertical, overhead, overland, dust proof, and drag conveyor systems among others. The choice of system is usually done depending on the material that needs to be handled. The devices vary in capacity, size, and material of construction.

When one is thinking of buying these systems, price is among the factors to consider. There are several factors that determine the price including material used to make the product, manufacturer, application, size, and place of manufacture among others. Before making a choice, one should compare prices among various manufacturers and dealers.
