Belt conveyors are widely utilized across a diverse range of industries—including home appliances, electronics, electrical equipment, machinery, tobacco, injection molding, postal services, printing, and food processing—for various operations such as assembly, inspection, testing, packaging, and transportation of goods.
Depending on specific process requirements, the conveyor line can be configured to operate using various control modes, such as continuous running, intermittent (paced) running, or variable-speed running. Furthermore, the physical layout of the line can be customized to suit the specific site conditions, adopting forms such as straight sections, curves, or inclined slopes.

Also known as belt conveyors or rubber belt conveyors, these systems constitute an indispensable and cost-effective piece of logistics equipment for establishing rhythmic, assembly-line-style production workflows.
Based on their conveying capacity, belt conveyors can be broadly classified into two categories: heavy-duty conveyors (such as those used in mining operations) and light-duty conveyors (typically employed in sectors such as electronics, plastics, food processing, light manufacturing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals).
Belt conveyors are characterized by their robust conveying capacity, ability to cover long distances, simple structure, and ease of maintenance; moreover, they facilitate convenient implementation of programmed control and automated operations. By utilizing the continuous or intermittent movement of a conveyor belt, these systems are capable of transporting individual items weighing up to 100 kg, as well as powdery or granular materials. They operate at high speeds with exceptional smoothness and low noise levels, and are capable of conveying materials both uphill and downhill.
