Horizontal Belt Conveyor

Horizontal belt conveyor is a conveyor system that uses a continuous belt to move materials horizontally. It is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and logistics for efficient material handling and transportation. The basic design of a horizontal belt conveyor consists of a flat, continuous belt supported by idler rollers. The belt is driven by a motorized pulley or a series of pulleys, which propels the belt forward, causing the materials on the belt to move. The materials can be loaded onto the belt manually or through automated systems such as hoppers or chutes.

Structure

Belt: The conveyor belt is the primary component of a horizontal belt conveyor system. It is typically made of durable materials such as rubber, PVC, or fabric and is designed to carry and transport goods along a horizontal path.

Rollers or Pulleys: The belt runs on rollers or pulleys, which help support and guide the belt as it moves along the conveyor system. These components ensure smooth and consistent movement of materials.

Drive Mechanism: Horizontal belt conveyors are powered by a drive mechanism, such as a motor or gearbox, which provides the necessary force to move the belt and transport materials along the conveyor.

Options

Odd lengths and widths

Stainless steel construction

Variable speed controllers

Angle and channel guard rails

Different belt styles

Drive locations
