Belt conveyor systems are transport systems used in different industries to move materials effectively and continuously from one place to another. These belts are composed of a flexible belt that moves on rollers or other supports, and are ideal for transporting heavy or bulky loads automatically.

  1. Conveyor belt: The central part of the belt conveyor system is made of a flexible and resistant material, such as rubber or PVC. The belt is placed onto rollers or pulleys (sometimes referred to as drums) that make it rotate, consequently moving the material.
  2. Rollers (sometimes known as pulleys): The parts that support the conveyor belt and move it forwards, driven by a motor.
  3. Support structure: The metal structure that supports the rollers and conveyor belt. It provides stability and resistance when transporting loads.
  4. Drive system: For some belt conveyor systems, a drive system is used, either an electric motor or transmission mechanism, to drive the movement of the belt.

Features:

  1. Versatility.
  2. Efficiency and automation.
  3. Flexible design.
  4. Reduction of costs.
  5. Safety.
  6. Easy to maintain.
  7. Possibility to incline the belt.

In conclusion, belt conveyor systems are fundamental systems in the recycling industry and other sectors, as they offer an effective and automated solution for transporting materials, facilitating the continuous movement of loads and improving productivity in different industrial processes.
