The purpose of a conveyor is fairly simple and self-explanatory. It moves items from one place to another without the need for manual labour to carry them. However, the types of items can vary considerably, as can the locations between which items are moved, required speed of throughout and a host of other factors. Because applications and needs can vary so much, the types and characteristics of conveyors can similarly alter. This often requires an experienced and knowledgeable conveyor system manufacturer to determine the best equipment for a particular job.
An efficient and reliable conveyor system can save any company a lot of money by increasing efficiency and reducing handling costs. That will only be fully achieved, however, if an appropriate system is chosen and installed correctly. Often, a conveyor system will form part of an integrated materials handling operation that will link warehousing, manufacturing, inspection, packing and despatch activities. Raw materials, components and finished products will be passed along the line and any interruptions caused by the failure of any element will seriously impact the whole process.
Choosing the correct conveyor system is the start point for ensuring a satisfactory process and this can comprise conveyors of different types: Roller conveyors comprise a series of rollers in a horizontal frame with items moving along the rollers in a set direction. These may be gravity rollers where items are pushed along by hand or may have a slight incline to help their progress or may be motor powered for heavier goods or longer distances, or where greater control of speed is necessary. Belt conveyors that comprise a heavy-duty, continuous belt stretched between two or more rollers. Moving the belt causes all items on it to move in the required direction.
Items will follow the path of the conveyor on which they’re placed and so this may be a straight line or have a more flexible route to suit the appropriate location. Conveyors may also have steep inclines to move items between different levels. Additionally, belts and rollers may have different widths to handle various product sizes and can handle heavyweight or lighter materials.
