Belt conveyors serve a wide range of industries, including industrial, agricultural, logistics, and beyond. Key application areas are as follows:
I. Heavy Industry & Resource Extraction
Mining Transport: Transporting bulk materials like coal and metal ores. Underground versions utilize explosion-proof designs and enclosed structures to minimize dust. Used throughout the process flow from mining faces to surface storage bunkers or coal preparation plants.
Metallurgy & Power Generation: Conveying high-temperature materials (e.g., coke, sintered ore), requiring heat-resistant belts (withstanding temperatures above 200°C) and cooling systems. Used in thermal power plants for long-distance coal transport to boiler houses.
Building Materials & Chemicals: Transporting cement, fertilizers, sand, gravel, etc. Enclosed designs control dust pollution. In the chemical industry, corrosion-resistant belts convey acidic or alkaline materials.
Port Logistics: Working with stacker-reclaimers for automated bulk cargo handling (e.g., iron ore, coal). Long-distance systems can span several kilometers.
II. Light Industry & Food Processing
Food Industry: Stainless steel or food-grade PVC/PU belts are used for hygiene-critical applications like transporting grains, meats, beverages, etc., preventing contamination and meeting safety standards.
Electronics & Appliances: Conveying components and parts on assembly lines, supporting continuous operations for assembly, testing, and packaging.
Packaging & Sorting: Used in logistics centers for goods sorting and loading/unloading. Telescopic designs adapt to different truck types, reducing cargo damage and improving efficiency.
III. Agriculture & Other Sectors
Agricultural Production: Mobile belt conveyors handle grain loading into trucks and field-to-storage transport, meeting seasonal operational demands.
Environmental Engineering: Transporting municipal waste, sludge, and other waste materials to support incineration or treatment processes.
![1] IV. Specialized Conveyor Types for Specific Scenarios
High Incline Transport: Corrugated sidewall belt conveyors achieve steep inclines of 30° to 90° (e.g., mountainous terrain, mine shafts).
Tubular Enclosed Type: Prevents dust dispersion, ideal for materials like cement and fly ash.
Heat-Resistant/Corrosion-Resistant Types: Designed for specific needs in metallurgy and chemical industries.
Conclusion: Belt conveyors, valued for their high capacity, modular structure, and adaptability to diverse scenarios, have become core logistics equipment in automated production systems.
