Conveyor belts are an integral part of our lives today. From our exercise machines, to the malls that we visit, to companies that produce almost anything, conveyor belts are an important part of the process. Conveyor belts can be considered to be the invisible force that makes our lives easier to live. There are several types of conveyor belts that are used for various purposes.
The Chain Driven conveyors are used to transport loads in industries and manufacturing units. These live rollers are perfect for industrial use, wherein loads have to be transported at a modified and controlled speed. The Chain Driven Live Rollers can be used to transport light as well as heavy loads.
The Roller Conveyor Belts are used to transport heavy as well as light weights in various industries. These Roller Conveyor Belts are constructed in a rugged manner and are known for their dependable operation. These conveyor belts are used when the need to side load, accumulate a product or push off and adjust pressure on carrying rollers. These conveyor types are driven either by line shaft, belt, chain, and accumulation or non-powered. This adds versality to the type of transfers and stops that can be used in a system.
There are several other types of conveyors that are used in the industry as well as outside. Apart from chain driven conveyor belts, there are rubber based conveyor belts that work with many applications. The rubber belt conveyor is available in these types:
1. Slider Bed Conveyor
2. Roller Conveyor
