If you still don't know how a belt conveyor works and what it does in the design of an intralogistics conveying system, you can read the following.
How does a belt conveyor work?
A belt conveyor is either a vehicle that works directly on the surface or on constantly moving rollers, and it can be carried out in the same horizontal or horizontal switching. The conveyor is driven by a motorized unit located mainly at the unloading end or in the middle area.
What are the components of a belt conveyor?
A belt conveyor for managing parcels is assembled from the following components.
✴ Intermediate bed
✴ Unit (end or central)
✴ Head end
✴ Transition
✴ Belt
What are the uses and functions of a belt conveyor?
Usually, end units are used before central units. They are usually cheaper, and they can also be used as end pulleys. The unit may be a roller chain or timing belt mounted on a shaft with a gear motor or geared motor, technically known as an arrow assembly.
The most common functions are as follows.
✴ Linear transport
✴ Tilt/tilting (belt or chain - high friction)
✴ Box breakage (high friction belts)
✴ Belt accumulation (It does not let the product to slide.)
✴ Product unloading (It is mainly used for shipment.)
