Belt conveyor is the most efficient and widely used type of continuous conveyor. In the large and medium-sized coal-fired power plants built in China, the belt conveyor is the main equipment used to transport coal from the unloading device to the coal storage yard and boiler raw coal bunker.

Belt conveyor is a continuous conveying equipment with conveyor belt as material bearing component and traction component. According to the friction principle, the conveyor belt is driven by the driving drum to transport the materials to the required place. Compared with other types of conveying equipment, belt conveyor has good performance, can be transported continuously under continuous loading, high productivity, stable and reliable operation, continuous and uniform transportation, low noise in the working process, simple structure, low energy consumption, low operation and maintenance cost, convenient maintenance, easy to realize automatic control and remote operation, etc. Therefore, It is widely used in coal handling system.
