Conveyor Sytem Types


CONVEYOR SYSTEMS

A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the transportation of heavy or bulky materials and also, for faster and easier transportation of heavy materials.

History

The first conveyor belt systems were very primitive and consisted of a leather, canvas or rubber belt traveling over a flat wooden bed. This rudimentary system was successful enough to provide incentive for engineers to consider conveyor systems as an economical and efficient way to haul large quantities of bulk material from one location to another. In 1892, Thomas Robins began a series of inventions which led to the development of a conveyor belt used for carrying coal, ores and other products.

Types:

Aluminum Frame Conveyor        engineered for strength, light weight and are designed for ease
                                                      of automation.
Belt Conveyors                            consists of two or more pulleys, with a continuous loop of material - the
                                                      conveyor belt - that  rotates about them.
Cleated Conveyor                        for conveying up steep inclines
Modular Conveyors for Curve    conveyor system for every  curve application
Turns Food Quality Conveyors
Industrial Conveyors Lift Gate   work areas and the efficient movement of personnel can be provided by                                                       utilizing lift gates and pivot conveyors in the conveyor line.
Low Profile Conveyors                ideal for use in manufacturing plants as well as distribution centers,
                                                      packaging lines, metal stamping and precision manufacturing
                                                      environments, and more.
Plastic Chain Conveyors             flexlink's cutting-edge solutions use proprietary technology not found in
                                                     other conveyor systems.
Portable Conveyors                    can help transport construction materials with easy.
Stainless Steel Frame Conveyors an handle everything from food processing to final packaging.
Vacuum Belt Conveyors             hold flat parts of any material fast to the belt which is ideal for elevation
                                                     changes or part holding.
Z-frame Conveyors                     an incline conveyor or decline conveyor to match a production line
                                                      height.
