CONVEYOR SYSTEMS
Conveyor systems are mechanical transport vehicles that move objects from one location to another, which are frequently used especially in production centers. Conveyors are particularly useful in applications involving the handling of heavy or bulky objects. The ability of conveyor systems to move a wide variety of materials quickly and efficiently makes them very popular in the material handling and packaging industries. They are also often found in supermarkets and airports for product/bag deliveries. Many types of transport systems exist and are used according to the various needs of different industries.
Conveyor systems are widely used in many industries, including mining, automotive, agriculture, computer, electronics, food processing, aerospace, pharmaceutical, chemical, bottling and canning, final printing, and packaging.
- Conveyors can safely transport materials from one level to another; this would be tedious and expensive if done by human labor.
- 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.
- A variety of options are available to operate transport systems, including hydraulic, mechanical, and fully automated systems equipped to suit different needs.
To extend the service life of a conveyor system, it is necessary to choose the right type of conveyor, design the right system, and pay attention to regular maintenance practices.
A properly designed conveyor system can last a long time with proper maintenance.
