What Is Conveyor

 

 

A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the transport of heavy or bulky materials. Conveyor systems allow quick and efficient transport for a wide variety of materials, which make them very popular in the material handling and packaging industries. They also have popular consumer applications, as they are often found in supermarkets and airports, constituting the final leg of item/ bag delivery to customers. Many kinds of conveying systems are available and are used according to the various needs of different industries. There are chain conveyors (floor and overhead) as well.

How Do Conveyor Work

Conveyor consist of a belt stretched across two or more pulleys. The belt forms a closed loop around the pulleys so it can continually rotate. One pulley, known as the drive pulley, drives or tows the belt, moving items from one location to another.


The most common conveyor system designs use a rotor to power the drive pulley and belt. The belt remains attached to the rotor through the friction between the two surfaces. For the belt to move effectively, both the drive pulley and idler must run in the same direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise.


While conventional conveyor such as moving walkways and grocery store conveyors are straight, sometimes, the unit needs to turn to deliver the items to the proper location. For the turns, there are unique cone-shaped wheels or rotors which allow the belt to follow a bend or twist without getting tangled.

 

 

How Are Conveyors Used

Manufacturing engineers include conveyors in their production facilities for many reasons:
● Moving products from point A to B (to avoid wasted time walking, or to reduce movements of forklifts, etc).
● To carry products that are too heavy to for team members to lift.
● To move a product while operators are working on it (or adding to it). Like a final assembly conveyor at an auto plant.
● To avoid injury to workers from repetitive movement. Or to prevent damage to products caused by movement.
● To deliver products to a robot for processing. Or to receive products from a robot that are ready for the next step.
Storage and buffering uses
● To store products between processes or at the final process step.
● To create a buffer or accumulation bank. This is a flexible storage system. Use it where the quantity of products in storage can be lower or higher as required to balance process flow.
● To sequence or re-sequence products between processes. Power and free systems can provide this.
Conveyors are one of the most flexible types of industrial equipment. When specified and installed they can improve productivity, efficiency and safety.

Conveyor Belt Equipment

 

Types of Conveyor

 

 

Belt conveyors:
Belt conveyors are the most common and simplest form of conveyor and can have variable speeds. They have a moving belt that rests on a steel frame that supports the belt and the materials being moved. Ones that have a supporting frame underneath are referred to as sliding style. When the belt is supported by closely placed rollers, it is called a roller belt style.
 

Gravity roller conveyors:
Gravity roller conveyors have a set of equally spaced rollers connected to a side frame. The position of the rollers provides a surface to place materials for movement. If a gravity roller conveyor is tilted or mounted on an angle, materials move by gravity. Though pieces of varying sizes can be loaded on a gravity roller conveyor, workers need to be cautious of larger materials running into smaller ones. Gravity roller conveyors are used by shipping companies to load and unload trucks.
 

Chain conveyors:
Chain conveyors can have two or several sets of chains that make contact with the bottom of items to be moved. The materials rest on the chains as they are moved. Chain driven conveyors are ideal for items with uneven bottom surfaces or ones that are very heavy. Ones that have a heavy frame can have pallets placed directly on them. Due to the types of items chain conveyors move, they operate very slowly.
 

Motorized roller conveyors:
Motorized roller conveyors use motors, placed along the conveyor frame, to power evenly spaced rollers. The design is similar to a gravity conveyor with the addition of motors. The number of motors is dependent on the load to be moved and the overall design of the system. The connection between the rollers can be a chain or belt.
 

Slat conveyors:
Slat conveyors have the same design as chain conveyors with flat slats connected to the chain. In some ways, they are similar to belt conveyors with slats replacing the belt.
The slats have a very smooth surface that prevents damage or harm to items being moved, making them ideal for assembly applications. Since the surface is smooth and without obstructions, slat conveyors can be loaded and unloaded using robotic automation.
 

Overhead trolley systems:
Overhead, trolley track systems can be manually or motor powered. They use an enclosed track or "i" beam and can move parts through finishing operations, drying booths, or supply assembly lines.
 

Monorail conveyors:
Monorail conveying systems have carriers to move materials and are ideal for use over long distances. Rails are suspended from the structure of the building and have power supplied by signal lines from conductor lines inside the mounted rails. Monorail conveyors make use of the space above the production area.
 

Power and free conveyors:
Power and free conveying systems are designed to move parts through the production and assembly process. Items being assembled move from workstation to workstation. They stop at each station to be worked on and then move on. Power and free systems are a special form of overhead conveying system.
 

Inverted conveyors:
Inverted conveyors are floor mounted and can be used as power and free conveyors. They normally have a drive system that does not involve a belt or chain.
 

Paternoster conveyors:
Paternoster conveyors are a vertical conveying system that uses equal spaced load carriers connected to a chain drive, which moves in a continuous loop. They are also known as platform conveyors.
 

Chute conveyors:
Chute conveyors have a smooth flat surface made of wood, metal, or plastic that is set on an angle in a frame, which can be straight, spiral, or circular. Items are slid down the surface.
 

Screw conveyors:
Screw conveyors are used to move bulk substances such as granular products, chips, and loose materials. The central part of a screw conveyor is a rotating helicoid on a shaft inside a pipe. Screw conveyors are known as auger, helix, and spiral conveyors. The blades of the screw flights are designed to carry the material upwards.
 

Pneumatic conveyors:
Pneumatic conveyors transport bulk materials using a pressurized gas that pushes the material through a sealed pipeline. As the pressure builds in the pipeline, powders or granular materials are lifted and moved through the pipe.
 

Vibratory conveyors:
A vibrating conveyor uses vibrations to move materials along a conveying trough and is ideal for materials such as grains, various solids, vegetables being picked in a field, and quarried rocks. The agitations and constant motion gently moves products through the use of vibration cycles. Each form of vibratory conveyor has a specific design to fit its function with ones for mining being radically different from those made for harvesting and food production.

 

Common Conveyor Parts

Conveyor have essential parts that enable them to operate properly. These parts will vary depending on the types of product being moved and how the system is being used. However, there are three main parts to every industrial conveyor:

 
 

Belt support

This ensures the belt moves smoothly. The support unit must be firm; otherwise, the belt will sag when you place a heavy object on it—sagging results in slower operation and poor efficiency. Proper belt tension will keep the belt tight and the system running effectively.

 
 
 

Pulley

This external component controls the belt's movement. The working principle behind this system is that every unit has a minimum of two pulleys. One operates under power, the other is idle. Complex conveyor may feature more rotors along the frame.

 
 
 

Drive unit

This unit has a counter bearing to keep the parts moving effectively. It allows the belt to shift into reverse and handle the repeated changes in direction that some systems require.

Precautions When Working on or near the Conveyor

There are many hazards associated with working at or near a conveyor, including:
● Rotating parts or pinch points can drag in, crush or entangle
● Confinement or assembly areas (the area between a fixed object and a moving one) can shear or crush
● Parts that slide or reciprocate (press down) can crush or shear
● Items can break or be ejected (thrown from) the conveyor system
● Items can fall off the conveyor
● Electrical, fire or explosion hazards
When working near any conveyor:
● Wear hard hat and safety shoes.
● Tie back (and tuck in) long hair.
● Know the location of the emergency "shut-off" devices and how to use them.
● Make sure all safeguards and guards including cages, barriers, guardrails, warning signals, and other safety devices that are required are in place and operational.
● Know how to work near machinery safely.
● Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
● Do not climb, step, sit or ride on the conveyors.
● Do not alter or remove guards or safety devices.
● Do not try to remove stuck items or debris until the conveyor is locked out.
● Do not service the conveyor without following lock-out procedures.

 

 
What Is the Benefit of Using a Conveyor in the Food Industry
 

 

When conveyors are designed, constructed, and installed to meet food production regulations, the result is a conveyance system that is safe, sanitary, and efficient. Here are the top benefits of using conveyors in the food industry.

 

Eliminating or minimizing manual labor

Before conveyors, transporting materials from one level to another was done with human labor. It was strenuous and slow, forcing companies to spend a lot of money on labor costs.
Conveyors allow the automated transportation of materials between long distances that may be on varying elevations. Conveyors can be used to transport raw materials out of storage and into the production line, move products into other storage devices, move the finished product into the packaging line, or transport packaged products to shipping.

Reducing the risk of accidents

Food plants become safer and more productive with the right conveyor. Installing a conveyor means needing fewer workers, which in turn reduces the number of workplace accidents. Thanks to automation, employees can do their jobs without being exposed to risks that could get them injured or damage fragile materials. There is less demand (if any) for carrying heavy loads, repeating specific movements, and a significantly reduced chance of injury or disease.

Increasing efficiency and productivity

Industrial conveyors help save time by allowing materials to be moved between multiple levels quickly. Materials can move in different directions, which is useful when moving them between opposite ends of a processing plant. Because modern conveyor solutions eliminate manual unloading, there's also no need to waste time monitoring unloads and workers. Conveyors have speed controls, which means materials are moved at optimal speed, reducing wastage or material loss.

Ensuring food safety and maintaining quality standards

There are certain conveyors that are better for the food industry than others. Tubular drag conveyors are explicitly designed to be dust-free and contamination-free and to move food materials safely and efficiently. Product and material handling equipment must be easy to clean and kept free of contaminants when it comes to foods and beverages.
From small and powdered materials to sanitary or delicate materials, a cable tubular conveying system can move just about any food material that fits into a tube. What makes tubular drag cable and disc conveyors different is the technology that holds materials between discs within an enclosed tube. This design keeps breakage to a minimum and maintains a sanitary environment.
