2. Description of basic devices
2.1 Belt conveyor
The belt conveyor is certainly one of the most widely used machines for continuous mechanical handling of bulk materials, providing technically and economically satisfactory solutions to many handling problems.
The construction of a belt conveyor does not present any particular difficulties, but it is essential to pay particular attention to the choice of belt. This choice will depend on the weight and dimensions of the product pieces, its temperature, its loading on the device, not forgetting the geometric and mechanical characteristics of the planned installation.
