A conveyor belt is a mechanism consisting of a continuously looped belt that is used to transport materials from one place to another in a factory or other industrial environment. These belts are made of materials such as rubber, nylon or polyester, and are powered by electrical or mechanical means. They can move materials ranging from small components to heavy items like automobiles. Conveyor belts are commonly used for transportation of goods in manufacturing plants, distribution centers, mining industries and airports among others. They come in a variety of types such as gravity, powered, and modular, each designed for specific applications. Conveyor belts provide a reliable and efficient way of transporting goods, increasing productivity while reducing costs and manual labor. They have greatly revolutionized the manufacturing and transportation industry, making it easier and faster to move goods from one point to another.
