All conveyor belts are designed for various purposes. However, the common goal is to transport objects from one point to another in an efficient way. Here are five that you should know about.
Roller Bed
The roller bed conveyor belt is a conveyor belt with a continuous steel track and uses rollers to move the belt along the track. They are often used in factories for packing, sorting, assembling, inspecting, and transporting items. Businesses can also use them in construction applications for moving dirt, muck, and other material.
Flat Belt
These belts are useful for applications where there is a need for heavy-duty equipment, such as materials handling, construction, and mining. They’re made with high tension and a flat shape that provides an even surface that can easily withstand the weight of heavy loads.
Modular Belt
This conveyor is perfect for liquid transportation and food processing activities. It has rows of modules that flexible, interlocking bars connect. For maintenance, teams can take the belt apart easily, and the modules can be used individually or combined to create new configurations.
Cleated Belt
The types of industries that use cleated belt conveyors include factories, warehouses, mines, power plants, and more. Cleated belts generally feature vertical cleats or barriers in their designs, keeping loose materials secure during inclines and declines.
Curved Belt
The curved belt conveyor is made from flexible material, such as rubber or fabric. The curved belt is typically placed in one direction, and as it moves in a circular path, the items on the belt are moved along with it.
