A conveyor is a mechanical system that transports materials from one location to another using belts, rollers, or wheels.
Conveyors are integral components in manufacturing operations to move products and materials along production lines efficiently. They exist in different forms, such as belt, roller, or chain conveyors, each selected based on the specific requirements like load capacity and the type of material being transported. Implementing conveyors can enhance operational efficiency by reducing manual handling and speeding up production lines.
