What is a motorized conveyor?
A motorized conveyor can define one of two types of equipment, but both are used to move materials from one place to another. The first is a conveyor powered by an engine or containing motorized parts, such as cylinders that provide energy transport units to move materials uphill or faster than gravity. Another type of motorized conveyor is a unit mounted on a truck, which can be driven from one place to another to move the materials at different places.
motor conveyors are used in a wide range of industries, where the product must move vertically up before reaching the end of the conveyor. Gravity or non -motorized units can often be used when boxes or parts move vertically down, but some energy must be provided to move the materials up or above a long distance level. A wide range of traffic designs can be powered by an engine, including belts, rollers and tank systems.
war dotAvnations can be powered by small rollers inside each cylinder. These conveyors use horizontal rollers located at regular intervals, and each cylinder can contain a small drive engine. The direct drive cylinder contains a central shaft with the wire winding of the engine and the metal cylinder is the second half of the engine that moves when sending electrical power to the shaft engine. Direct drive engines can be controlled by different speeds using a voltage control, allowing a motorized conveyor to adapt different production speeds or other needs.
belts conveyors are usually designed with rubber or reinforced fabric band driven by engine at one end. The belt is made in a loop, provides a continuous transport surface while running and travels on support rollers in a regular gap to support the load. Heavy materials such as rocks or metals may require an engine in oBou ending cylinders to provide additional performance. This type of motorized conveyor can be permanently memorandana place or designed with wheels or slips to allow to move.
conveyors mounted on trucks are used for luggage loading at commercial airports. The truck can be driven to the aircraft parked at the terminal and the motor conveyor can be adjusted to reach the luggage compartment of the aircraft. The conveyor can be driven by a truck engine or a separate engine and includes controls to start the luggage loader and stop the conveyor as needed.
Another type of conveyor is a motorized screw, which is designed with the central shaft and a screw continuous lifting plate closed in the hollow roller tube. When the drive shaft turns, the screw collects the material between the curves of the screw plate and the tube and carries it up until the discharge tube reaches the upper end. These conveyors are commonly used to move freeMaterials such as grains or powder compounds that would not move well on the conveyor belt.
