Handling material

(conveyor)
Presented by: Jan Bentham

 What is conveyor ?

- A conveyor system is a fast and efficient

mechanical handling apparatus for
automatically transporting loads and materials
within an area.

- To move objects from one location to another.

Types of conveyor

1. Belt Conveyor

2. Roller Conveyor

3. Screw Conveyor

4. Bucket Conveyor
 1. BELT
CONVEYOR
- It consists a belt mounted over a frame and
the belt driven by rolls at both end

- The belt is made of rubber, leather or steel

material

- It is used to deliver material over a short as

well as long distance.

Components of belt conveyor

A standard belt conveyor system has a head

pulley, tail pulley, idler rollers, belt, and
frame.
 1. Head pulley

• Coupled with the actuator and

electric motor

• Drives the whole system

• Largest diameter of all the

pulley

5. Airport baggage

6. Mining industry
 2. Roller conveyor
- It consists of rollers supported in frame
over which material are allowed to move

- The materials must posses a flat bottom

surface of sufficient area to span several
adjacent rollers.

- Roller conveyor may be Gravity operated

or Power operated

• The DC motors are built inside a roller in a zone

• The frames of roller conveyors can be permanently and are controlled by an operator that determines
positioned or temporarily placed and are made of the speed and direction of the movement of the
steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. conveyor.

 3. screw conveyor
- A screw conveyor (also known as an auger
conveyor) is, unsurprisingly, the shape of a
typical screw

- The function almost identically to screws,

where a drive motor turns the screw
moving product up one pitch every
revolution

- Can operate in horizontal, vertical and

inclined direction

 • The first screw conveyor was the
Archimedes screw, which was developed
around 250 B.C. An Archimedes screw is a
form of positive displacement pump that
was used to lift water from low-lying lands
to the elevated irrigation ditches. The
construction and driving system of
Archimedes screws were improved
throughout the years to increase their
efficiency, durability, and speed while
adapting the original mechanism.

Application of screw conveyor

• Screw conveyors can be used to transport a wide variety of materials, including

powders, granules, flakes, and pellets. They are commonly used in industries such as

agriculture, food processing, mining, and chemical manufacturing

 4. bucket conveyor
- Bucket conveyors are the most used
system for vertical transport of bulk, dry,
wet and even liquid materials

- Material is fed at the bottom and is

delivered either by gravity or by
centrifugal action as the buckets invert
after passing over the head of the elevator

- Can operate in horizontal, vertical and

inclined direction

 Types of Bucket Elevators/Conveyors

1. Continuous Bucket Conveyors

- The purpose of continuous bucket conveyors,

which sets them apart from other bucket
conveyors, is to move delicate or light
materials. There is no gap between the buckets
to stop spills, and they travel at significantly
slower speeds (3-5 feet per second).

- transporting lighter, or more fragile

agglomerated material, such lime, cement, or
dry chemicals.

24 presentation title 20XX

 2 Centrifugal Bucket Conveyors

- Free-flowing material is moved by centrifugal

force using centrifugal bucket conveyors.

- They can run up to 350 feet per minute and

have a capacity of up to 100 pounds per cubic
foot.

- They are primarily utilized to vertically convey

powder bulk solids, such as grains, sugar, sand,
minerals, etc.

25 presentation title 20XX

 3. Chain Bucket Elevators

- A chain bucket elevator benefits from a

conveyor belt because it can carry heavy loads
and lift material vertically. The buckets' unique
construction ensures high stability and a low
chance of spilling

- The chain bucket elevator is mainly used

for food, metallurgy, chemical, coal, building
materials, pharmaceutical and other industries.

26 presentation title 20XX

 4. Belt Bucket Elevators

- They have a benefit over chain-bucket

elevators for wet operations because they do
not require complicated or expensive
lubrication and have less wear- and friction-
causing surfaces.

- They take up significantly less floor space than

inclined conveyors and can lift thin pulps.
