A well-designed conveyor system is only as good as its individual parts. From heavy-duty rollers to precision sensors, each conveyor component plays a critical role in keeping operations running smoothly. Whether you're maintaining an existing system or designing a new one, understanding these parts ensures peak performance and longevity.
1. Belts & Surfaces
- Conveyor Belts (Rubber, PVC, Modular Plastic, Wire Mesh)
- Belt Cleaners & Scrapers – Prevent material buildup
- Wear Strips – Reduce friction on sliding surfaces
2. Rollers & Pulleys
- Drive Rollers – Powered by motors to move the belt
- Idler Rollers – Support the belt’s weight and load
- Snub Pulleys – Increase belt wrap for better traction
- Take-Up Pulleys – Maintain proper belt tension
3. Motors & Drives
- AC/DC Motors – Provide movement power
- Gearboxes & Reducers – Control speed and torque
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) – Adjust conveyor speed dynamically
4. Frames & Supports
- Aluminum/Steel Frames – Structural backbone of the system
- Leg Supports & Stands – Adjustable height for ergonomic loading
- Guards & Covers – Safety protection for moving parts
5. Tracking & Alignment Systems
- Belt Trackers – Auto-adjust to prevent misalignment
- Side Guides – Keep products centered
- Pivot Wheels – Correct minor belt deviations
6. Sensors & Controls
- Photoelectric Sensors – Detect product presence
- Encoder Wheels – Monitor belt speed
- Emergency Stop Switches – Instant shutdown for safety
7. Specialized Attachments
- Sidewalls & Cleats – Prevent spillage on inclines
- Magnetic Separators – Remove metal contaminants
- Dust Covers – Contain fine particles in processing
