Mechanical transport uses devices such as belt conveyors, screw conveyors, bucket elevators, and chain conveyors to move materials within a facility.
It is used to transfer raw materials between successive stages of production or between loading and unloading points. This method offers high capacity, low operating costs, and the ability to work in continuous or batch mode.
Mechanical conveyors are transport devices used for moving bulk materials or semi-finished products between various stages of a technological process, typically over short distances within a single production line.
They are widely used as components of internal material handling systems, ensuring continuity, automation, and precise dosing of material to subsequent equipment.
These devices are an essential part of the technological infrastructure in many industrial plants, and their performance significantly affects process efficiency, safety, and product quality – especially in systems requiring precise and clean transport of bulk materials.
The most commonly used types of mechanical conveyors include:
- Screw conveyors – for horizontal or inclined transport of bulk and fine-grained materials.
- Chain (drag) conveyors – for difficult materials, e.g. moist or cohesive bulk solids.
- Belt conveyors – for light and medium continuous transport over longer distances.
- Bucket elevators – for vertical transport (e.g. from storage hoppers to process equipment feed points).
Key Advantages of Mechanical Transport
Automation and process continuity
- Ensures smooth and automated transport of materials between technological stages, eliminating the need for manual handling.
Precision and dosing control
- Allows accurate control of the amount and speed of transported material, improving process stability and product quality.
Adaptability to installation layout
- Available in horizontal, vertical, or inclined versions, with closed-design options, enabling easy integration into existing plants.
Reduced dust and material losses
- Thanks to enclosed construction, particularly important when handling dusty or hazardous materials.
Durability and reliability
- With appropriate materials and construction, conveyors provide long service life and low failure rates, even in demanding industrial environments.
