Belt conveyors
ZM Automation design and manufacture plays an important role in
transporting bulk materials due to plenty of inherent advantages like
the economy and safety.
Conveyor belts
are mechanical apparatuses that contain a continuous moving belt that
is used to transport materials, packages and people from one point to
another. The belt operates by forming a continuous loop on rollers or
metal sliders. Power is provided by motors operating at constant or
variable speeds. Conveyor belts offer many advantages in various walks
of life.
Belt-Conveyor Systems
The most commonly used conveyor belt is the "
belt-conveyor system."
They are important in automated distribution and warehousing. It allows
for big savings on labor expenses because large volumes of goods can be
moved faster. This in turn leads to a need for smaller storage spaces
and subsequent savings on warehouse rent. Belt-conveyor systems are also
used at packing depots and for baggage handling at airports.
Long Belt Conveyors
These conveyor belt systems are used mostly in airports and mines. From
conveying airport cargo to equipment and minerals, it is convenient and
saves time as well as expenses in transporting materials across long
distances.
Environmentally Friendly
Conveyor belts
ZM Automation desinged are also ecologically advantageous. An average
mine conveyor belt uses a fifth of the consumption of heavy trucks,
which has a positive effect on carbon dioxide emissions.
