Material Handling Equipments

Material handling equipment can improve efficiency and automate processes that would otherwise require a lot of manual labor. Some types of material handling equipment include:

Anapurna Storage System is a leading manufacturer and supplier of chain conveyors. Chain conveyors are a type of belt conveyor that moves heavy bulk goods. They are used to move products down an assembly line or around a manufacturing or warehousing facility.

• Chain conveyors use an endless chain to transmit power and propel material through a trough. The chain runs over sprockets at either end of the trough.
• The chain can push material directly or push attachments that push the material.

• Chain conveyors are used to transport heavy loads over long distances.
• They are used to move pallets, grid boxes, and industrial containers.
• They are used to move products with a sturdy lower surface.
• They are used to move products with small contact surfaces, such as mesh boxes or steel frames.

Screw conveyors are a type of mechanical conveying system commonly used to move materials horizontally or at a slight incline. They consist of a helical screw blade, known as an auger, rotating within a cylindrical casing or a trough. These devices are often employed in industries such as agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, and mining for bulk material handling.

• Function : Screw conveyors are used to transport bulk materials, such as grains, powders, granules, and even liquids, by pushing them along the trough or casing as the auger rotates.
• Design : The design of a screw conveyor can vary based on the material being conveyed and the specific application. Different screw configurations and trough shapes are available to suit various needs.
• Types: There are different types of screw conveyors, including horizontal screw conveyors, inclined screw conveyors, and vertical screw conveyors, each tailored to the specific requirements of the material being transported.
• Applications : Screw conveyors are used in a wide range of industries, including agriculture (for grain handling), wastewater treatment (for dewatering and conveying solids), manufacturing (for handling raw materials), and more.

Belt conveyors are a common type of mechanical handling equipment used to transport items or materials from one location to another. They consist of a continuous loop of material (the conveyor belt) that rotates around two or more pulleys. Here’s some key information about belt conveyors:

• Flat Belt Conveyors : These are used for moving items of various sizes and shapes on a flat surface.
• Incline or Decline Belt Conveyors : These are designed to move materials up or down slopes.

• Conveyor Belt : This is the moving part of the system, typically made of rubber, PVC, or other materials designed for durability and grip.
• Pulleys : These are the rotating wheels or drums over which the belt travels.
• Supporting Structure :The frame or structure that holds and supports the conveyor system.

• Belt conveyors are widely used in manufacturing, distribution, mining, and various industries to transport items like raw materials, products, and baggage.
• They are essential in assembly lines for automating the movement of products.

• Efficient and cost-effective for transporting bulk materials or heavy items.
• Can be customized for specific applications.
• Reliable and require minimal maintenance.

• Proper maintenance is essential to prevent belt wear and tear.
• Safety precautions are important to avoid accidents.

• Conveyor belts come in various types, including flat belts, modular belts, timing belts, and more, each suited to different applications.

• Conveyor systems can be automated, incorporating sensors and control systems for precise material handling.

• Conveyor systems can be designed to be energy-efficient, reducing the environmental impact of material transport.
