A carrier belt is a device used to transport items or people. It consists of one or more annular belts made of rubber or metal materials, which are driven along a certain path by a driving device. Carrier tapes can be divided into the following types according to their shape and structure:
Flat carrier tape: This is the most common type of carrier tape. It consists of a straight belt made of rubber or metal material, supported and driven by two or more rollers. Flat carrier belts are suitable for horizontal or inclined conveying and can convey items of various shapes and sizes, such as boxes, bags, bottles, etc. The advantages of flat carrier tape are simple structure, convenient operation, easy maintenance and low cost; the disadvantage is that the transmission capacity is limited and complex steering and lifting cannot be realized.
Curved carrier belt: This is a carrier belt that can turn and lift in both horizontal and vertical directions. It consists of multiple interconnected small plates made of rubber or metal materials, driven by special rollers or chains. Curved carrier belts are suitable for transportation where space is limited or where the direction and height need to be changed. It can transport items of various shapes and sizes, such as coal, ore, grain, etc. The advantages of curved carrier tape are strong transmission capacity, ability to adapt to complex routes, and space saving; the disadvantages are complex structure, difficult operation, and high maintenance costs.
Spiral carrier tape: This is a carrier tape that can be lifted and lowered in the vertical direction. It consists of a spiral-shaped tape made of rubber or metal material and is driven through a central axis. Spiral carrier belts are suitable for conveying where there is a large height difference or where space needs to be saved. It can convey items of various shapes and sizes, such as cans, books, clothing, etc. The advantages of the spiral carrier tape are that it occupies a small area and can realize large-scale lifting; the disadvantages are that the transmission speed is slow, the noise is loud, and it is prone to blockage.
