Belt Conveyors

Simply put: a belt conveyor is a system that uses a continuous loop of material to transport objects from one point to another, commonly used in various industries for moving bulk materials or products efficiently.

Allocating resources to Viacore’s mechanical services for a belt conveyor is crucial for ensuring efficient operation, preventing failures, prolonging system lifespan, and maintaining safety, which together support sustained productivity and reduce costs.

What is a belt conveyor?

A belt conveyor is a mechanical system designed to transport materials or products from one location to another using a continuous loop of material, typically rubber, fabric, or metal. The system consists of two or more pulleys (also known as drums), where at least one is powered to move the belt, causing the materials on it to be carried forward. Belt conveyors are highly versatile and can be customized in length, width, and belt material to accommodate different types of materials, abrasions, temperatures, and other conditions.

Where are belt conveyors used?

Belt conveyors are commonly used across various industries, including aggregates, mining, bulk terminals, food, oil and gas, packaging, power generation, rail, recycling, steel, and agriculture, due to their ability to move materials efficiently over both short and long distances. They are essential for streamlining operations, improving productivity, and reducing manual labor. Additionally, belt conveyors can operate at different speeds and handle multiple products simultaneously, making them highly adaptable to various production or transportation needs. Their ease of installation and maintenance also contributes to their widespread use in modern industrial processes.
