Belt Conveyers are employed for conveying various bulk and unit loads along horizontal or slightly inclined paths and for transporting articles between various operations in production flow lines. They have found wide application in all branches of industry and are means of mechanical transport in foundry shops, in fuel supply systems of electric power stations, for ground and surface transport of coal and gangue in coal industry, for delivery of ores, coke and fluxes in metal making industries. They transfer building materials, fossil minerals, grain, sand, stone, etc.

Belt Conveyors have become popular due to a high load-carrying capacity, large length of the conveying path, simple design, easy maintenance and high reliability of operation. The smooth, continuous surface of a conveyor belt is ideal for many product handling applications.
