How Do Conveyor Belts Work?

  • BLOG
  • BELT CONVEYOR

A conveyor belt works by using two motorized pulleys that loop over a long stretch of thick, durable material. When motors in the pulleys operate at the same speed and spin in the same direction, the belt moves between the two.


Parts of the Conveyor Belt System


In a conveyor belt system, the aluminum profile consists of the frame, belt and any supports. Systems that use a belt are generally powered by a motor, though conveyor systems can also use gravity or manual force to function. Motorized conveyor belts are ideal for industrial use as they are more reliable and efficient — the driving unit for such systems would include the motor bracket, electrical drive and any counter bearings.


Belt Conveyor Manufacturers

The conveyor belt system’s extremity unit typically includes any pulleys and clamping straps. Additional stands or lateral guides could be necessary for specific variations or functions, so consider your industry’s needs when choosing these optional add-ons. Parts and functions of a new conveyor belt system might include:


  • * The frame: The system’s framework holds all of the moving parts together for safe and secure operation.
  • * The belt: A long stretch of thick, durable material upon which materials are transported from one place to another.
  • * The conveyor belt support: Rollers assist the belt to stay on course and swiftly maintain movement. Rollers keep objects in place and prevent the belt from sagging.
  • * The driving unit: Motors may use either variable or constant speed-reduction gears to power the conveyor belt. An efficient driving unit must continually assist the belt with continuous running, smooth reversing and repeatedly adjusting direction.
  • * The pulleys: The conveyor belt should loop over two or more strategically positioned pulleys. The pulley controls the belt’s movement and performs critical functions such as driving, redirecting, turning, tensioning and tracking the belt.
  • * The clamping straps: Clamping straps are used on various machines to hold down fixtures and work components.
  • * Add-on modules: Most additional parts are installed for further reinforcement. While rollers support the belt from within the system, stands and lateral guides support the outer framework.

    • Conveyor Belt Uses


    A conveyor system has a wide variety of uses, such as:


  • 1. Quickly and reliably transport a large amount of material
  • 2. Stack materials at the end of a transportation line
  • 3. Streamline the process to get something from Point A to Point B
  • 4. Move a product vertically or horizontally with a high degree of flexibility

    • The advantages of using a conveyor belt system include:


  • 1. Reduce labor while massively increasing productivity and time efficiency
  • 2. Protect workers from any injuries caused by carrying heavy loads
  • 3. Keep the product safe from damage during transportation
  • 4. Easily transfer a product onto a different route
  • 5. Enjoy relatively simple maintenance of this durable, long-lasting system

    • Conveyor Belt Applications


    The most effective method for processing, sorting, loading, and unloading passenger luggage is using a conveyor belt. Most people have seen a baggage carousel in action; it is a useful application of industrial conveyor belts where bags are loaded onto the belt in a secure location and quickly transported to the terminal where passengers can access it. For effective delivery, the belt loops back around to the baggage reclaim area after continually passing through the loading area.
