A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling

equipment that moves materials from one

location to another.

Conveyors are especially useful in applicationsinvolving the transportation of heavy or bulkymaterials.

Conveyor systems allow quick and ecienttransportation for a wide variety of materials,which make them very popular in thematerial handlingand packagingindustries.

Conveyor systems are used widespread across a rangeof industries due to the numerous bene-ts they provide. Conveyors are able to safely transport materials from one

level to another, which when done by human labor would be

strenuous and epensive.

!hey can be installed almost anywhere, and are much saferthan using a forklift or other machine to move materials.

!hey can move loads of all shapes, si/es and weights. Also,many have advanced safety features that help prevent

accidents.!here are a variety of options available for running conveying

systems, including thehydraulic, mechanical and fullyautomated systems, which are equipped to -t individualneeds.
