o A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical

handling equipment that moves materials from one

location to another.

o Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving

the transportation of heavy or bulky materials in
industries.

o Conveyers are also used in general material

handling such as those moving boxes along inside a
factory, such as agricultural materials, such
as grain, salt, coal, ore, sand, overburden and more.
 Gravity Conveyor
 Belt Conveyor
 Powered Roller Conveyor
 Pallet Conveyor
 Overhead Conveyor
 Magnetic Slide Conveyor
 Conveyors are durable and reliable components used in
automated distribution and warehousing. In combination with
computer controlled pallet handling equipment this allows for
more efficient retail, wholesale, and manufacturing distribution.

 Belt conveyors can now be manufactured with curved sections

which use tapered rollers and curved belting to convey products
around a corner. These conveyor systems are commonly used in
postal sorting offices and airport baggage handling systems.

 Belt conveyors are the most commonly used powered conveyors

because they are the most versatile and the least expensive.
These conveyors should use only the highest quality premium
belting products, which reduces belt stretch and results in less
maintenance for tension adjustments.
 Save Money
This is the foremost criteria of every business to save money and to
make the best out of conveying system to meet company’s demands
securing business. Utilization of these systems can prove incredibly
expensive for any company, but, note it is only one time expenses.
Utilization of conveyors can be most effective way to work with and of
course beneficial.

 Customization
The next objective for a company is to go for ideally designed
conveyors up to your requirement, which can help save money to a
great extent.

 Utilizing Quality conveyors

The next most important point is making use of the quality resources,
which will allow your business to take benefits of the best design and
product to aid in your business. Always prefer the best quality.
Maintaining quality maintains business.
 Conveyors should be specifically designed keeping in
mind the use, working condition and other the
conveying requirements of your company, securing you
financially and increasing your business.

 The company should take the right decision and opt for
only customized conveyors avoiding unnecessary waste
of time, money and manpower.
 Before assembling the conveyor components, a centre line
for the conveyor installation should be established. This
centre line should be used for the construction of the
supporting structure. Ample clearance must be provided
between moving parts and adjoining fixtures.

 After the belt is installed and running properly, ammeter

readings and the belt speed of the empty belt should be
taken and recorded. These readings can be used as a
standard of performance to determine whether the belt
conveyor is operating normally at a later date.

 Conveyor belt installations are individually designed for

different applications but, if not construction correctly, can
cause serious operational problems that will lead to
unnecessary production delays. Proper alignment and
levelling of the conveyor components will ensure proper
belt operation.
 Conveyor systems play a major role in in the mining, minerals
and metals industry, and unexpected downtime can be costly
but now there is technology that enables continuous
monitoring of conveyor assets that can reduce maintenance
costs and improve uptime.

 In the mining, minerals and metals industry, it is often

thought that materials handling begins where processing
ends and therefore does not have a significant impact on
overall quality and value.

 Traditionally, routine maintenance and monitoring of

conveyor systems has been a low priority for operations. This
is because usually, what are considered more urgent matters
take precedence, such as pumps and mills.
 Confirm that components are in proper alignment and
make necessary adjustments.
 Check all safety systems and control equipment.
 Confirm that all guards and covers are in place.
 Look for any signs of misalignment or improper belt
tracking.
 Remove any material buildup on components and clean
up any spills along the system.
 We can canclude that time
and human effort can be reduced by
implementing such project in Airports, Bus
stands and Industries.
