CONVEYOR SYSTEM

USED
 DEFINITION
CONVEYOR SYSTEM
IS A COMMON PIECE OF MECHANICAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT
THAT MOVES MATERIALS FROM ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER.

ACCORDING TO SCLATER, CONVERYOR SYSTEMS CAN BE DIVIDED

INTO TWO CLASSES: THOSE THAT ARE PART OF A MACHINE FOR
PROCESSING PRODUCT, AND THOSE THAT MOVE PRODUCTS IN
VARIOUS STAGES OF FABRICATION.
 DEFINITION
A CONVEYOR SYSTEM IS USED IN MANY INDUSTRIES AS A STANDARD PIECE
OF MECHANICAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT TO MOVE GOODS, PRODUCTS, RAW
GOODS AND OTHER MATERIALS FROM ON LOCATION TO ANOTHER,
USUALLY IN THE SAME AREA OR BUILDING
CONVEYOR SYSTEM ALLOWS FOR QUICK AND EFFECIENT
TRANSPORTATION OF A BUSINESS MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS AS WELL
AS BEING ABLE TO MOVE HEAVY ITEMS SUCH ARE CARS DOWN A
PRODUCTION LINE WHICH MAKE THEM POPULAR IN THE MATERIAL
HANDLING AND PACKAGING INDUSTRIES AS WELL AS THE
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
 BENEFITS OF USING A
CONVEYOR SYSTEM
CAN SAFELY TRANSPORT MATERIALS FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER THROUGH
ELEVATED CONVEYOR.
CAN BE INSTALLED IN MOST SITUATIONS WHILE USUALLY BEING ABLE TO ADD
VALUE AND INCREASE THE SAFETY OF THE WORKPLACE DUE TO AUTOMATION,
FAILSAFES AND SAFEGUARDS.
CONVEYORS CAN MOVE HIGH QUANTITIUES OF ITEMS IN VARIOUS SHAPES, SIZES
AND WEIGHTS.
HAVE ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES THAT PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES
WHILE INCREASING THROUPUT OF THE SYSTEM.
VARIETY OF OPTIONS TO RUM THE CONVEYING SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE
HYDRAULIC, MECHANICAL, AND FULLY AUTOMATED SYSTEMS WHICH ARE
EQUIPPED TO FIT INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
 WHERE ARE
CONVEYOR SYSTEM
USED?
A CONVEYOR SYSTEM IS COMMONLY
USED IN THE MINING, AUTOMOTIVE,
AGRICULTURAL, FOOD AND
BEVERAGE, BOTTLING,
MANUFACTURING, WAREHOYUSE AND
LOGISTICS, AND PACKAGING
INDUSTRIES.
PRESENTATION
 SCREW
CONVEYORS
THE SCREW TYPE CONVEYOR USUALLY CONSISTS OF A LONG
PITCH PLATE STEEL HELIX MOUNTED ON SHAFT OR SPINDLE
CARRIED IN BEARINGS WITHIN U SHAPED TROUGH.

ACCORDING TO HUDSON, FOR MANY FUNCTIONS, IT IS THE BEST

TYPE OF CONVEYER.

SCREW CONVEYOR ARE USED TO CONVEY BULK MATERIAL FROM

ALMOST ANY POSITION AND ARE ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE
METHODS OF CONVEYANCE
 SCREW
CONVEYORS
 FLIGHT
CONVEYORS
THE FLIGHT CONVEYOR HAS AN ENDLESS CHAIN OR TWIN CHAINS
PASSING AROUND SPROCKETS AT THE HEAD AND FOOT ENDS, WITH
SPACED TRANSVERSE SCRAPERS OR "FLIGHTS" WHUCH PUSH THE
MATERIAL ALONG A TROUGH.

FLIGHT CONVEYOR EFFECTIVELY MOVES SMALL CHIPS, FINES AND

PARTICLES OF STEEL, BRASS, BRONZE, CAST IRON OR ALUMINUM AS
WELL AS, SLUDGE AND PASTE IN FABRICATED METAL PRODUCT
MARKETS
 SCRAPER
FLIGHT
CONVEYORS
FLIGHTS ARE DRAWN ALONG
THE TROUGH BOTTOM, THE
FIGURE BELOW IS A SINGLE
STRAND SCRAPER FLIGHT
CONVEYOR
 SUSPENDED
FLIGHT
THIS TYPE HAS WEARING SHOES
ATTACHED TO THE FLIGHTS TO
CARRY THEM CLEAR OF THE
THROUGH ALONG THE CARRYING
RUN, AND SUPPORT THEM ALONG
THE RETURN RUN. THE FIGURE
BELOW IS A DOUBLE-STRAND
SUSPENDED FLIGHT CONVETOR
 ROLLER
FLIGHT
IT IS SIMILAR WITH THE
SUSPENDED FLIGHT
CONVEYOR EXCEPT THAT,
ROLLERS ARE SUBSTITUTED
FOR SHOES.
 ROLLER
CHAIN
THE FIGURE BELOW IS A DOUBLE STRAND WITH
ROLLER CHAIN TO CARRY THE FLIGHTS
 DRAG
CHAIN
SUCH CONVEYORS DO NOT HAVE FLIGHTS
AS THE OPEN LINKS SERVE TO MOVE
MATERIAL
 APRON
CONVEYORS
THE ALTERNATIVE TO A FLIGHT CONVEYOR MAY BE AN APRON
CONVEYOR.
THE APRON CONVEYOR CONSIST OF
OVERLAPPING BEADED STEEL PANS
SUPPORTED BETWEEN OR
MOUNTED UPON TWO STRANDS OF
ROLLER CHAIN, AND WITH THE
USUAL HEAD AND FOOT ASSEMBLY.
 BUCKET
ELEVATOR
A BUCKET ELEVATOR, ALSO
CALLED A GRAIN LEG, IS A
MECHANISM FOR HAULING
FLOWABLE BULK
MATERIALS(MOST GRAIN OR
FERTELIZER) VERTICALLY.
 SPIRAL CHUTE
IS THE SIMPLEST METHOD AND LOWEST COST WHEN A
DIRECT LOWERING OF PACKAGE OR BOXED MATERIALS
IS INVOLVED.
 ROLLER
CONVEYORS
EITHER GRAVITY ROLL OR POWER ROLL CONVEYORS MAY SOLVE
THE PROBLEM OF HORIZONTAL AND INCLINED MOVEMENTS MORE
ECONOMICALLY THAN IS POSSIBLE WITH ANY OTHER MACHINES.

WHEN TWO OR MORE ROLLER CONVEYORS ARE TRIBUTARY TO A

TRUNK LINE, IT IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT COLLISIONS BY AN
INTERCEPTOR.
 GRAVITY
CONVEYORS
GRAVITY CONVEYERS ARE BEST
ADAPTED FOR BOXES OR
CARTONS WITH UNYIELDING
RIDING FACES, APPROXIMATE
UNIFORMITY ON WEIGHT, AND NOT
OVER 100 LB. EACH.
 PALLET CHAIN
CONVEYORS
PALLET CHAIN CONVEYORS IN THE FOREGROUND IS A
ROTATING DISC WHICH, WITH GUIDE PLATES, SERVES TO
SHIFT THE BOTTLES FROM APPROACH LINE TO THE REVERSE
LINE.
 BELT
CONVEYORS
FOR UNIT LOADS, IT MAY BE
SIMILAR TO THE STANDARD
FLAT-BELT CONVEYOR, BUT
WITH CLOSELY SPACED
CARRYING IDLER ROLLS. ALMOST
ANY TYPE OF UNIT LOADS, NOT
DESTRCUTIVE TO THE BELT, MAY
BE SO HANDLED.
 GRASSHOPPER
CONVEYOR
THE VIBRATING TROUGH, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS
GRASSHOPPER VONVEYOR IS THE BEST MACHINE TO MOVE
SUSTAINED OUTPUT OF FRAGMENTARY MATERIALS
 TRAY
ELEVATOR
WHEN STACKS OR BATCHES
OF MAGAZINES ARE TO BE
LIFTED OR LOWERED, THERE
ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF TRAY
ELEVATORS OR LOWERERS
AVAILABLE.
 TRAMRAIL OR
MONORAIL
SYSTEM
THE TRAMRAIL OR MONORAIL
SYSTEM, CONSISTS OF A CARRIER
SUSPENDED FROM AN OVERHEAD I-
BEAM TRACK OR RUNWAY USUALLY
SUSPENDED FROM THE CEILING
BEAMS EXCEOT IN THE LARGER
UNITS WHEREIN IT IS SUSPENDED
BELOW.
 OVERHEAD
CONVEYORS
OVERHEAD CONVEYORS OR TROLLEY CONVEYORS, CONSISTS OF A
POWER PROPELLED CHAIN TRAVELLING AT MODERATE SPEED.
SUSPENDED BY TROLLEYS FROM SUITABLE TRACK, AND
PROVIDE WITH ATTACHMENTS OF VARIOUS FORMS ADAPTED TO THE
WORK BE DONE.
 CONTINOUS-
FLOW
CONVEYOR
THE CONTINUOS-FLOW
CONVEYOR IS A
MACHINE IN WHICH THE
MATERIAL MOVES
SLOWLY WITHIN A DUCT
AS A CONTINUOUS CORE.
 PNEUMATIC
CONVEYORS

THE PNEUMATIC
CONVEYOR DEPENDS
ON A HIGH-VELOCITY

AIR STREAM TO MOVE

MATERIAL IN ABOUT
THE SAME MANNER AS
THE WIND
 HYDRAULIC
CONVEYORS
THE HYDRAULIC CONVEYOR IS
A SYSTEM FOR HANDLING
MATERIAL; REFUSE IS FLUSHED
FROM A HOPPER OR SLAG
TANK TO A GRINDER WHICH
DISCHARGERS TO A PUMP FOR
CONVEYING TO A DISPOSAL
AREA.
