A conveyor system is a mechanical apparatus and a component of material handling systems designed for the automated transportation of loads and materials. Widely utilized across various industries, conveyor systems serve as essential mechanical handling equipment, facilitating the movement of goods from one location to another. They contribute to minimizing the risk of human error, reducing workplace hazards, and cutting down labor costs.

The primary types of conveyor systems include belt conveyors, roller conveyors, pallet conveyors, overhead conveyors, tri-planar conveyors, crescent conveyors, skid conveyors, trailer conveyors, and other specialized variants. A belt conveyor system typically consists of two or more pulleys with a closed loop of a carrying medium, known as the conveyor belt, rotating about them. Key components involve aluminum profiles, a driving unit, and an extremity unit. Conveyor systems can operate manually, semi-automatically, or automatically, and they find applications in various sectors such as retail, food and beverages, poultry and dairy, automotive, airports, and other industries.
