A powered conveyor is a system that moves items from one place to another at a controlled speed. It uses rollers that are powered by an electric motor to move items along a conveyor belt.
Works
- A conveyor belt is stretched between rollers.
- Friction belts or chains are positioned beneath the conveyor.
- These belts or chains are connected to a shaft that runs the length of the conveyor's frame.
- The shaft is linked to an electric motor that powers the rollers.
- The rollers rotate, moving the items along the conveyor belt.
Uses
- Powerized conveyors are often used in warehouses and packing departments to move packages.
- They can be used in a variety of industries, including automotive, warehousing, and the oil industry.
- They can be used for pallet handling, drum handling, and tire handling.
Benefits
- Powerized conveyors can save time, energy, and money.
- They can make it easier to transport large or heavy items that would otherwise be difficult to move manually.
