Conveyors are important equipment for material handling，It can be classified in a variety of ways，The following is a detailed description of the classification of conveyors according to different dimensions：

one、Classified by mode of operation

• Loading and filling integrated conveyor：Equipment integrating loading and conveying functions。

• Belt conveyor：Flexible conveyor belts are used as material bearing parts，The conveyor belt is tensioned by a driving drum and a tensioning device，The conveyor belt is wound through the roller to carry the material。

• Screw conveyor：Consists mainly of rotating leaves、chute、Hanger bearing、Driving gear、Supporting device、Inlet and outlet, etc，The material is pushed forward by rotating spiral blades。

• Bucket elevator：Bulk material is transported upward in a vertical or near-vertical direction using a series of hoppers attached to a traction chain or tape。

• Roller conveyor：The material is transported by the rotation of the drum，Suitable for all kinds of boxes、package、Pallet and other goods delivery。

• Plate chain conveyor：chain-driven，The plate chain is used as the bearing surface，Drive materials to transport。

• Mesh belt conveyor：Use mesh conveyor belts，Suitable for light weight、Fragile material handling。

• Chain conveyor：Continuous conveying machinery with chain as pulling member，Suitable for conveying heavy materials。

two、Classification by use

• Universal mobile conveyor：Suitable for many occasions，Easy to move and install。

• Underground optional conveyor：Designed for downhole operations，explosion-proof、Dustproof and other properties。

• Fixed conveyors for open pit mines：Suitable for open pit mines，Strong construction，Long delivery distance。

• Special structural conveyor：Customized for special needs，Such as large Angle conveyor、High temperature conveyor, etc。

• Removable conveyer：It has mobility，Position can be adjusted as needed。

• Loader special transfer function conveyor：Used in conjunction with the loader，Fast transfer of materials。

three、Classification by type of material transported

• General loose material conveyor：coaly、Ore、victualling。

• Hard material conveyor：Like ore、stone。

• Single piece material conveyor：Packed as box、Bag materials, etc。

four、Classification by structure

• Linear conveyor：The transmission line is straight，Suitable for horizontal or inclined conveying。

• Bend conveyor：The transmission line contains curves，Suitable for the need to change the direction of transport。

• Inclined conveyor：The transmission line has a certain tilt Angle，Suitable for uphaul or downhaul materials。

• Crawler conveyor：Tracks are used as support and transmission components，Suitable for complex terrain or need to walk occasions。

five、Classification by vector part

• Belt conveyor：With the belt as the bearing surface。

• Chain conveyor：The chain is used as the traction component。

• Roller conveyor：The roller is used as the transmission component。

• Screw conveyor：The spiral blade is used as the transmission component。

To sum up，Conveyors are classified in a variety of ways，You can choose the right type for different needs and scenarios。In practical application，You also need to consider the nature of the material、Transport distance、Delivery capacity、Work environment and other factors，To ensure the normal operation and efficient work of the conveyor。
