Group 2 (Conveyors and Conveying System)
It is commonly use in transporting material
from one point to another and in material
handling.
-Conveyor System
A conveyor that use to transport material
between floors and known for simplest example
of gravity operated conveyor.
-Chute Conveyor
It is made from a series of skate wheels
mounted on a shaft or axle and made for light-
duty applications.
-Wheel Conveyor
Conveyor that may be powered or conveying
materials with the help of gravity.
-Roller Conveyor
Another mechanical handling system that uses
compressed air to transport materials vertically
or horizontally.
-Pneumatic Conveyor
A conveyor system that uses carts or trucks in
material handling that move along the floor.
-Tow Conveyor
It is an overhead conveyor system that consists
of series of trolleys that attached to the
overhead tracked.
-Trolley Conveyor
Conveyor system that travels from one or two
rows or powered rollers or wheels above from
the surface that guides the load.
- Sortation Conveyor: Pop-up Device
This conveyor is used to convey material in
horizontal surfaces or slightly inclined.
-Troughed Belt Conveyor
This conveyor is suitable for transportation,
stacking, loading and unloading of bulk grains in
locations that change frequently.
-Mobile Belt Conveyor
Conveyors that are spiral shaped that rotate
inside a trough and transports materials with
sticky or viscous materials.
