Belt conveyor system contains two pulleys with a continuous loop of material. It is efficient to rotate the pulleys. The pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. Conveyor belts are extensively used to transport industrial and agricultural materials. These belts are used in self-unloading bulk freighters and in live bottom trucks.
Belt conveyors are suited to carry all sorts of material, wet or dry, from the lightest to the heaviest, and in any quantity. They are comprised of an endless belt that can be of any width and length. The belt is driven on one side with an idler roller on the other side. Sheet metal or metal rollers are used to support the belts. Belt materials can be plain or rubber-coated canvas, wire mesh or stainless steel ribbon. The belts can have the side supported at an angle to form a gutter. Smooth belts can be used for inclines up to about 20?. If the belts are fitted with special slats or other devices to prevent rollback or slipping, they can be used on inclines up 45?.
