Conveyer Belt

Overview

A conveyor belt (or belt conveyor) consists of two or more pulleys with a continuous loop of material - the conveyor belt - that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the un-powered pulley is called the idler.

There are two main industrial classes of belt conveyors: those in general material handling such as those moving boxes along the inside a factory and bulk material handling such as those used to transport industrial and agricultural materials, such as grain, coal, and ores, generally in outdoor locations.

Companies providing general material handling-type belt conveyors typically do not provide the conveyors for bulk material handling. In addition, there are a number of commercial applications of belt conveyors such as those in grocery stores. Here at Bohl's Equipment, we stock head pulleys, wing pulleys, and conveyor belts to meet our customer's needs. If you'd like to make a purchase, head to our store in San Antonio, TX today or give us a call if you need any information.

Benefits of Using a High-Quality Conveyer Belt

A conveyor belt system is one of the most durable and reliable ways to handle and move materials. Conveyor belts are commonly used in production facilities, warehouses, factories, and manufacturing centers for large-scale transportation of goods and equipment from one place to another within a given area.

There are many important benefits to using a high-quality conveyor belt in your San Antonio facility:

Efficiency: Conveyor belts make it easy to quickly transport materials from one location to another, even across multiple rooms and floors within the same facility. You can even use a conveyor belt to load and unload a vehicle.
Productivity: Due to reduced time spent carrying and loading materials, your team can spend time on other tasks. This drastically improves employee productivity and increases your company's output.
Cost-Effectiveness: Conveyor belts help streamline efficiency and overall employee productivity, leading to reduced labor costs and helping your company increase its output. This increased profit and reduced costs helps to significantly control your costs, allowing you to allocate funds where you need them.
Safety: A conveyor belt is much more suited to transport materials across long distances, particularly if those materials are large, heavy, or unwieldy. Using a conveyor belt helps to drastically reduce and prevent human injury, keeping your team safe and dramatically reducing product damages.
