Conveyors |
Today, conveyor is driven with an electrical motor through gear reduction, in the earlier times, it was driven by water power, animal power or even manually. This type of conveyor system dates back at least several centuries and was originally used to move grains and flour through mills.
Modern conveying systems began in the 19th century as the industrial revolution demanded more efficient methods for moving components and products through plants. There are two main types of conveying systems; floor conveyors and overhead conveyors.
Examples of Conveyors: 1) Accumulation Conveyors 2) Belt Conveyors 3) Pallet Conveyor 4) Roller Conveyors 5) Slat Conveyors 6) Overhead Conveyors
