Conveyor belt system is one of the basic tools in the material handling industry. Belt conveyors are mostly used for transportation of bulk materials. It consists of two or more pulleys an endless loop of carrying medium the conveyor belt rotates about them. Both pulleys need to be powered to move the belt and material it carries forward. The powered pulley is called “drive pulley,” the unpowered one is known as “idler pulley.” Warehouse conveyor belt systems used in general material handling such as those moving boxes.
One of the several ways to optimize inventory management, while reducing the potential for employee injuries, is through the utilization of a customized conveyor belt in a warehouse. Conveyor system helps to boost your warehouse’s overall efficiency and prevent employees from strain and injury potential from constant heavy lifting. Also, it helps in loading and unloading of products and transports them throughout the warehouse. As a tried-and-true method of material handling, conveyor systems can be completely customized to best utilize your space while accommodating your inventory management needs.
Benefits of Conveyors belt system
 Conveyors are the huge enhancement over using human labor to do the activity of feeding. We have mentioned some more benefits here.
 Conveyors designed such as it allows materials, both big and small, to be moved from one elevation to another easily. It saves time. Conveyors offer unlimited opportunities to the items to load and unload continuously for a long time period.
 We can design conveyors as per the need to transport materials to multiple levels or floors with almost no limitation of height. Large factories always need such conveyors to move materials at different levels.
 Conveyors with automated incline belts can unload materials automatically, and eliminates manual unloading. This also means we can save time while monitoring material unloads.
 There are very less chances of something breaking and causing loss due to handling issues. A conveyor can control the speed at which materials removed and do each operation carefully.
 The conveyor can move in both directions. This is very useful during the manufacturing process when materials need to move between opposite ends of a manufacturing unit.
