Continuous conveyor machinery is a major category of material handling equipment. 3rd-floor warehouse discharge chute, outdoor warehouse unloading chute and automatic belt slideway. It is mechanical equipment that transports certain types of goods (or personnel) along a fixed route to form continuous material flow. Some continuous conveyors can also perform intermittent transportation. Compared with cranes for intermittent operation, continuous conveyors have the following characteristics.
Large conveying capacity. It enables non-stop continuous transportation. Loading and unloading proceed without halting the conveying process, with no interruption caused by empty return trips. Since frequent start and stop are not required, higher operating speeds can be adopted. The capacity of continuous high-speed transportation far exceeds that of intermittent cranes.
Relatively simple structure. Continuous conveyors are installed along the whole conveying route to transport goods. With single movement, compact structure, light self-weight and low cost. Uniform load and stable speed lead to little fluctuation in power consumption during operation. Under the same conveying capacity, continuous conveyors generally require less power.
Long conveying distance. Not only the length of single units keeps increasing, but multiple units can be combined to build long-distance conveying lines.
Easy to realize programmed control and automatic operation.
