Material Handling Made Easy by Conveyor Belts

Conveyor belts are equipment that is used to carry and transport goods and materials in an easier and more efficient manner as compared to human labour. Conveyor belts consist of a belt attached to pulleys that make the movement of materials easy and convenient. Conveyor belts find application in several industries where material handling is a problem and human labour cannot accomplish this task. Also when labour handles material and its transportation, there are more chances of wastage and injury to the labour. Conveyor belt systems, on the other hand ensure that there is no wastage of materials and in turn ensure that the productivity increases.

The following are a few industries where conveyor belt systems are made use for material handling:
  • Agriculture: Farmers use efficient harvesting systems to get their produce from the farms to the storage facilities and also to the buyers so that the produce does not get wasted. Conveyor belts are important parts of these efficient harvesting systems wherein these systems are used to harvest the produce, gathering and sorting the harvest on the farm as well as unloading the harvest.
  • Cement processing: Cement processing is an industry that deals with transporting cement and also handling it in an efficient manner. Cement can be a difficult material to handle as it is free flowing and also can behave erratically when packed. Conveyor systems make the packing and transport of cement easy and convenient. Conveyor systems can prevent the cement from caking as well as from environmental influences and moisture so that it does not get wasted.
  • Chemical processing: Chemicals have various properties that make them difficult to handle and transport. Conveyor systems used in chemical processing industry make sure that the chemicals are not damaged by environmental influences in any manner. Conveyor systems are used to handle harmful chemicals in an effective manner and also prevent the chemicals from getting contaminated.
  • Construction: Conveyor belt systems find wide application in the construction industry to handle the materials at different levels and stages of the construction process. Conveyor systems help in transporting construction materials without these getting wasted. The use of conveyor belts in the construction industry ensures that the construction task gets completed within time.
  • Bulk cargo handling: The cargo industry makes use of conveyor belt systems to handle the cargo and packages in an efficient manner. Heavy cargo can be easily transported from one place to another by conveyor systems. The conveyor systems can be used to effectively load and unload cargo thereby saving a lot of transit time and also ensure that the cargo does not get damaged.
