A belt conveyor is a conflict driven machine that transports materials in a continuous manner. It mainly consists of a frame, conveyor belt, belt roller, tensioning equipment, transmission equipment, etc. It can transport materials along a certain transportation line, from the initial feeding point to the final unloading point, forming a material transportation process. It can transport both fragmented materials and individual items. In addition to carrying out simple material transportation, it can also coordinate with the skill processes required in the production processes of various industrial companies to form a rhythmic flow of work and transportation lines.

Belt conveyors can be used for horizontal or inclined transportation, and are very easy to use. They are widely used in various modern industrial companies, such as underground tunnels in mines, above ground transportation systems in mines, open-pit mining sites, and beneficiation plants.
Working principle of belt conveyor
The belt conveyor is mainly composed of two end rollers and a closed conveyor belt tightly fitted on them. The rolling drum of the belt conveyor is called the driving drum (transmission drum); The other drum, which only changes the direction of the conveyor belt movement, becomes a reversing drum. The driving drum is driven by an electric motor through a reducer, and the conveyor belt is dragged by the conflicting force between the driving drum and the conveyor belt. The driving drum is usually installed at the discharge end to increase traction and facilitate dragging. The material is fed into the feeding end and falls onto the rolling conveyor belt. It is then transported by the collision force of the conveyor belt and discharged from the unloading end of the bag.
Before opening the transport machine
The high rotation drum car and water lifting overturning in ancient China were the prototypes of modern bucket elevators and scraper conveyors; In the mid-17th century, aerial ropeways were used to transport bulk materials; In the mid-19th century, various modern constructed transport machines emerged one after another. In 1868, belt conveyors were introduced in England; In 1887, the spiral conveyor was introduced in the United States; In 1905, a steel belt conveyor was introduced in Switzerland; In 1906, inertial transport aircraft were introduced in the UK and Germany. Afterwards, the conveyor was influenced by advances in mechanical manufacturing, electrical engineering, chemical and metallurgical industry skills, constantly improving and gradually transitioning from completing internal transportation in workshops to completing material transfer within companies, between companies, and even between cities, becoming an essential component of mechanized and automated material transfer systems.
