TYPES OF CONVEYORS
Slider Bed Belt Conveyors
Chain Conveyors
Roller Bed Conveyors
Bucket Conveyors
Screw conveyors
Roller Gravity Conveyors
Slider Bed conveyors are among the
most versatile conveyors.
They can be used in many types of
material handling situations such as
assembly line operations, sorting,
packing, and inspection.
All slider belts can be fitted as
rubber belt conveyors.
A Chain Conveyor is a type of conveyor system for moving material
through production lines.
Chain conveyors utilize a powered continuous chain arrangement,
carrying a series of single pendants.
The chain arrangement is driven by a motor, and the material
suspended on the pendants are conveyed.
GRAVITY CONVEYOR: Roller or wheel conveyor over which objects
are advanced manually by gravity.
GUARD RAIL: Members paralleling the path of a conveyor and
limiting the objects or carriers to movement in a defined path.
HOG RINGS: Rings used to hold the shaft in a roller.
Gravity conveyor is an unpowered conveyor such as a gravity chute
or a roller conveyor that uses the force of gravity to move materials
over a downward path.
A gravity conveyor is used to transport articles with sufficient weight
to allow them to move unassisted downwards, usually on an inclined
runway.
Types of Bucket Elevators
Centrifugal Discharge Bucket Elevators have buckets mounted at
intervals on chain or belt.
This type of Bucket Elevator is used to handle bulk materials which can
be picked up by spaced buckets as they pass under a Boot Sprocket
(Chain Elevator) or Boot Pulley (Belt Elevator) and then discharged by
centrifugal force over the Head Sprocket or Head Pulley.
Continuous Discharge Bucket Elevators have buckets mounted
continuously on chain or belt.
The material is directed into the buckets through a loading leg and is
discharged over the face of the preceding bucket while passing around
the Head Sprocket (Chain Elevator) or Head Pulley (Belt Elevator).
These Elevators may be used to handle the same kinds of material as
the Centrifugal Type, but they are more recommended especially for
handling materials that are difficult to pick-up in a boot or are friable
(easily broken apart) materials.

• A screw conveyor or auger conveyor is a mechanism that uses a rotating
helical screw blade, called a "flighting", usually within a tube, to move liquid
or granular materials.
• They are used in many bulk handling industries.

OUT RIGGERS
• A mobile crane is a cable- controlled crane mounted on crawlers or rubber-
tired carriers or a hydraulic-powered crane with telescoping
boom mounted on truck-type carriers or as self-propelled models.
• They are designed to easily transport to a site and use with different types
of load and cargo with little or no setup or assembly.
• They use outriggers to give bigger base and stability to crane while
operating.

Lift and shift cranes: can move short distances with cargo.
Can be used for stacking on wharf and to load on to trailers
OUTRIGGER
Harbour mobile crane with high SWL: This mobile crane is a cable- controlled
crane with mounted rubber-tired carriers as self-propelled models.
They are designed to easily transport in port on flat surface.
Can be used with different types of load and cargo with little or no setup or
assembly.
They use outriggers to give bigger base and stability to crane while operating.

VACUUM SUCTION BLOWERS: A vacuum created by
the turbine-style blower draws a mixture of air and
grain into the suction cyclone.
Grain is separated from the air inside the suction
cyclone while the air is returned to the blower.
The grain drops into the rotary valve where it is fed
into the air stream coming from the blower.
The grain is directed through the pipeline to the
discharge cyclone.
A discharge cyclone decelerates the grain and allows
it to gravity flow out of the bottom of the cyclone.
Excess air is blown through the top of the discharge
cyclone
