What is a Belt Conveyor System?

A Belt Conveyor System is a fundamental and versatile material handling solution that relies on two or more pulleys to drive an endless loop belt. Fabric or rubber belts are commonly used, forming a continuous loop that propels products along the conveyor's path.

How Belt Conveyor Systems Work

Endless Loop Movement

The system operates with two or more pulleys, where the belt continuously moves in an endless loop. This loop effectively transports goods, such as totes, packaged items, bulk boxes, and more, from one point to another.

Simplicity in Design

AJ Enterprises designs and builds Belt Conveyor Systems ranging from 5' to 102' in length and widths from 6" to 72", providing flexibility for various applications.

Installation and Versatility

Due to their simplicity in design and construction, our motorized belt conveyors are easily installed. These systems are excellent for transporting regular and irregular-shaped objects, making them suitable for a wide range of industries.

The Benefits of Belt Conveyor Systems

Cost-Effective: The economic footprint and minimal maintenance costs make our Belt Conveyor Systems budget-friendly and operationally efficient.

Versatile: Adaptable to various products with flexible sizing options, offering a tailored solution for diverse material handling needs.

Efficient Incline Navigation: Seamless incline movement and customizable angles optimize the speed and effectiveness of material handling on inclined surfaces.

Smooth Curved Movement: Maintains product orientation during curved movement, enhancing layout flexibility for efficient space utilization.

Belt Conveyors vs. Roller Conveyors

Belt conveyors are suitable for handling cast/tote materials, small or irregular items, and inclines/declines. They excel in accumulation with standby modes and require low maintenance. Roller conveyors are easily adjustable, energy-efficient (motorized/gravity rollers), and efficient for sortation with integration capabilities for diverts. Both systems are low maintenance and can incorporate bends, merges, and standby modes.

The selection between belt conveyors and roller conveyors depends on specific application requirements. If handling small or irregular items, managing inclines/declines, or needing efficient accumulation with standby modes are crucial, then standard belt conveyors are preferred. On the other hand, if adaptability for easy modifications, energy efficiency, and efficient sortation with integration capabilities for diverts are key priorities, then roller conveyors become the preferable choice. Understanding the distinct strengths of each system allows for tailored decisions based on the unique needs of the conveyor application.
