Belt Conveyor Apparatus

Belt conveyor as the name suggests, consists of endless belt, suitably supported and driven, which carry or transport solids from place to place. Belts are made of either canvas, reinforced rubber or strip steel etc. Belt conveyors are adopted to wide varieties and quantities of material, require relatively low power, and can transport solid for long distances. The present set-up is of lab size moving on two horizontal rollers. The drive is given through a worm reduction gear coupled to a motor. Feed hopper is fitted on one side of conveyor and the other end one collecting tray is placed. It demonstrates the working of belt conveyors as used in the industries. The set-up has a special arrangement to change the angle of belt.
