INTRODUCTION
A conveyor belt (or belt conveyor) consists of two or more pulleys, with a continuous loop of material - the conveyor belt - that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler. There are two main industrial classes of belt conveyors; Those in general material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory and bulk material handling such as those used to transport industrial and agricultural materials, such as grain, coal, ores,fines,and lumps material
COMPONENTS
Conveyors are durable and reliable components used in automated distribution and warehousing.[1] In combination with computer controlled pallet handling equipment this allows for more efficient retail, wholesale, and manufacturing distribution. It is considered a labor saving system that allows large volumes to move rapidly through a process, allowing companies to ship or receive higher volumes with smaller storage space and with less labor expense
ADVANTAGES
Rubber conveyor could transmit shock and vibration. Therefore, rubber conveyor belt has the characteristics of a lower transmission noise. And rubber conveyor belt does not require lubrication which could meet the needs of high-speed engine's transmission. Moreover, the rubber conveyor belts required little installation space, has good ability to adapt to environment.
DISADVANTAGES
Relative to the engine using in the chain drive and gear drive, the rubber conveyor belt transfer the torque smaller. So the rubber conveyor belt is generally used in car engines. And because the rubber conveyor belt is easy access to engine oil, coolant or brake fluid and other chemicals. For the heat, the rubber conveyor belt's material will be aging; belts will be cracking, deformation or stretching, and even the phenomenon of fracture. That would cause tooth jump phenomenon, and may even cause the valve and piston collision, leading to serious consequences.
CONCLUSION
The solutions are based on the CAN open field bus which leaves possibility to interface the equipment with third party products with the greatest facility. Remote control gives flexibility and upgrading capabilities without modifying the whole installation. The AFBs, fully documented, are preset and usable immediately without requiring a particular adaptation. Standard architectures give the insurance for an optimum result in minimum designing time
