Belt Conveyor Suppliers in Melbourne

A belt conveyor is a mechanical assembly designed to efficiently transport objects and material from one point to another. The purpose of a belt conveyor is to improve workplace efficiency by reducing damage, lowering workplace risks, minimising human error and reducing labour costs. Belt conveyors also benefit production by being able to span multiple levels allowing the transport of goods to take place up and down factory floors.

A belt conveyor is a fast and versatile handling apparatus used to transport components to assembly as well as packaged goods that are ready to be shipped. Belt conveyors are available in many different specifications and have the ability to transport a wide variety of goods such as fresh fruit and vegetables, packaged foods, electrical components, pharmaceuticals, cans, cartons, sachets, bottles and jars.

Typically, belt conveyor systems consist of a continuous looping belt that extends the length of the frame that is powered by a rotor. The belt is supported by pulleys at either end of the system and soft sliders throughout the frame. Multiple conveyor assemblies can be used in tandem to create a conveyor system.
