Conveyor belts are commonly used in industrial automation equipment, but have you seen so many different types of them? 1. Belt conveyor: A belt conveyor uses the continuous or intermittent movement of a conveyor belt to transport various items of different weights. The items that can be transported include bulk materials as well as cardboard boxes and packaging bags with low individual weights; it has a very wide range of applications. Application areas of belt conveyors: industries such as light industry, electronics, food processing, chemicals, woodworking, and machinery. 2. Roller conveyors are mainly used for transporting relatively heavy items with a flat bottom surface, such as pallets ; Drive type: gravity-driven, chain drive, wedge belt, O-ring belt, etc ; 3. Plastic chain conveyor systems: The main types are determined by the type of chain, which can be equipped with a top plate, lateral connectors, etc. Using a double-row plastic chain conveyor fixture for material transfer offers advantages such as low friction, durability, easy maintenance, and low noise. 4. Variable-speed chain conveyor: This type of conveyor uses chains as both the pulling mechanism and the carrier for transporting materials; it can employ ordinary sleeve roller chains or various other special types of chains, offering high conveying capacity and the ability to handle heavy loads ; The conveying speed is accurate and stable, ensuring precise synchronized conveying ; It is easy to implement stacked conveying; it can be used in assembly production lines or for storing and transporting materials ; 5. Synchronous belt conveyor: The synchronous belt conveyor has 2 conveyor surfaces, allowing guards and sensors to be installed between the belts. Intermediate drive type with adjustable drive unit position. It is mainly used for transporting lightweight tooling plates. 6. Circular return type fixture conveyor line: This fixture return circuit uses a motor-driven synchronous belt to enable the fixtures to move steadily along a circular path. It allows for the simultaneous transportation and positioning of multiple products, facilitating smooth and fast transfer of workpieces between different stations in automated equipment. 7. Circular indexing type fixture conveyor line: This circular indexing system makes use of a motor-driven screw and a synchronous belt for propulsion; along a specially designed guide rail path, the fixtures move in a circular motion in a stable manner. It enables the simultaneous transfer and positioning of multiple fixtures, facilitating smooth and fast transportation between different stations in automated equipment. 8. Mesh belt conveyor: Features of mesh belt chain conveyors include resistance to contamination from oils and other substances carried by the products; they do not absorb any impurities onto their surface. They possess strong corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, are less prone to deformation or skewing, are oil-resistant, produce low noise, are lightweight, non-magnetic and anti-static, can withstand high temperatures, and have a long service life.
