Conveyors |
A conveyor is one of the most common equipment used in all industries across the world. This material handling equipment is mainly employed for efficiently transporting bulky material from one location to another. There are many kinds of conveyor system available commercially, suiting the various needs of different industries.
The use of conveying system in the process of molding
Conveying system generally functions in cycles, transporting pellets through the conveying line in slugs. First of all, the pellets from the silo are introduced to the the conveying system pressure vessel through its top inlet. The intake lid closes as soon as the pellets reach a high-level sensor and a stream of compressed air surges into the vessel to pressurize it and push the pellets out of the bottom discharge into the conveying line. This causes the slug through the conveying line to be pushed at a very high velocity after which the vessel's discharge then closes and its top inlet opens again to allow more pellets in.
The system repeats this cycle until all of the pellets have filled into the dryer-hopper, ending with an air purge cycle to ensure that the conveying line is clear.
Benefits of Conveyor System
-
 Conveyor systems are used widespread across a range of industries due to the numerous benefits they provide.
- Conveyors efficiently transports bulky materials from one level/place to another, which when done by human labor would be strenuous, expensive and would consume a lot of time.
- These belts are very easy to install and dismantle. Hence they can be installed almost anywhere and are much safer than using a forklift or other machine to move materials.
- They can move loads of all shapes, sizes and weights. Also, many have advanced safety features that help prevent accidents.
- There are a variety of options available for running conveying systems, including the hydraulic, mechanical and fully automated systems, which are equipped to fit individual needs.
