A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials

from one location to another

Conveyors are especially useful in application involving the transportation of heavy or bulky
materials in industries
Conveyers are also used in general material handling such as those moving box along inside a
factory, such as agricultural materials such as grain, salt, coal, are, sand, overburden and more

TYPES OF CONVEYOR
Gravity Conveyor
Belt Conveyor
Powered Roller Conveyor
Pallet Conveyor
Overhead Conveyor
Magnetic Conveyor

GRAVITY CONVEYOR
this is an unpowered conveyors such as gravity chute or a roller conveyors that uses the force
of gravity to move materials over a downward path
A gravity conveyor is used to transport articles with sufficient weight to allow them a to move
unassisted downwards, usually on an inclines runaway

BELT CONVEYOR SYSTEM

Conveyors are durable and reliable components used in automated distribution and
warehousing. In combination with computer controlled pallet handling equipment this allow for
more efficient retail, wholesale, and manufacturing distribution.
Belt conveyors can now be manufactured with curved sections which used tapered rollers and
curved belting to curved products around a corner. These conveyors system are commonly
used in postal sorting offices and airport baggage handling system
Belt conveyors are the most commonly used powered conveyors because they are the most
versatile and least expensive. These conveyors should used only the highest quality premium
belting products, which reduces belt stretch and result in less maintenance for tension
adjustment

POWERED ROLLER CONVEYOR

Takes less effort to move loads than unpowered. They convey items at a controlled speed with
a even spacing and are typically used in warehousing, manufacturing, package, handling and
distribution application.
PALLET CONVEYOR
transfer discrete products on carries referred to a pallets typically transported by belt roller
chain, flat-top chain or for extremely high loads, poered rollers
Pallet sized are the most part standardized among manufacturing in metric dimensions
(240 x 240mm) althoghh some manufacturers offer pallets in inch or non standard metric
dimension.
Pallet conveyors are suitable for transpotying products in two dimensions, but can
accommodate small elevation changes. Curved section typically from 15 to 180 degree allow
conveyors to change the direction to transport while maintaining pallet orientation.

Parts of Belt Conveyors

Belt Designation: As per IS1891. belts are designated by IS. Grade of the cover, the type of
belting defined by thr full thickness of breaking strength and number of plies.
Belt Width: unless otherwise agreed between the manufacturer and buyer, the standard widths
of belting as per IS specification are: 300,400,500,600,650,800,1000,1200, etc with a tolerances
of +/- 5mm/1mm
Belt Splicing: two ends of a belt may be a joined either by metallic belt fasterner or by
vulcanization.

OVERHEAD CONVEYOR
Utilized a single trail, whether manual or driven, from which the conveying means and loads
handling takes places over work areas. Overhead conveyor can be installed to follow almost any
continuous path, changing directions both horizontally and vertically.

MAGNETIC CONVEYOR
This usually interesting material handling system utilized magnetism to move products which
provides them certain unique advantages over other, more traditional methods. The explore
throught its properties, types and application will be given to assist any magnetic conveyor for
their projects.
This is unlike other conveyor in that they move products from one ends to the other, either
through a trough or on top a reciprocating belt. The major didtincting lies on their uses, which
allow these conveyor and when the powered and timed these magnets will convey
ferromagnetic products.
Objectives
SAVE MONEY
this is the foremost criteria of every business to save money and to make the best out of
conveying system to meet and to securing business. Utilization of these system can prove
incredible 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 objectives for a company is to go for ideally designed conveyors up to your
requirements, which can help save money to a great extent
UTILIZING QUALITY CONVEYPRS
the next important things is to making use of the quality resources, which will allow your
business to take of the best design and product to aid in your business. Always prefer the bset
quality. Maintaining quality maintain business.

DESIGN FACTORS
Conveyors should be specifically desined keeping in mind the used, working condition and
other the conveying system requirements of your company, securing your financially and
increasing your business.
The company should take the right decision and options for only customized conveyors and
avoiding unnecessary waste of time, money and manpower.

INSTALLATION
Before assembling the conveyor components, a centre line for the conveyors system
installation should be established. This centre line should be used for construction of the
supporting structure. Ample clearance must be provided between the moving parts and
adjoining fixtures.
After the belt is installed and running properly, ammeter reading the belt speed of the empty
belt should be taken and recorded. These reading can be used as a standard of performances to
determined whether the belt conveyors is operating normally at a layer date.
Conveyors belt installation are individually designed for different application but, if not
construction correctly, can cause serious operational problems that will lead to unnecessary
production delays. Proper alignment and levelling of the conveyors components will ensure
proper belt operation.
APPROACH
Conveyors system plays a major role in the mining , minerals and, metals industry and
unexpected downtime can be costly but now there is technology the enables continuous
monitoring of conveyors assest that can be reduces maintenance costs and improves uptime.
In the mining, minerals and metal 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 conveyors system has been a low priority
for operations. This is because usually what are considered more urgent matters take
precedence such as pumps and mills.

CONVEYOR MAINTENANCE
 Confirm that components are in proper alignment and ,make necessary adjustment
 Check all safety system and control adjustment
 Confirm that all guards and covers are in place
 Look for any sign of missallignment or improper belt tracking
 Removes any material build up on components and clean up any spills along the system.
