Belt Conveyors
Belt conveyors are fundamentally straightforward in both design and application. However, at Facet Engineering, we elevate the design and manufacturing of conveyors to a higher standard of expertise, leveraging our comprehensive understanding of the diverse range of specialized belts, pulleys, and drive configurations available for belt conveyor systems.
As experienced design and project engineers, Facet Engineering deeply understands the various principles and parameters involved in product movement. When designing conveyor systems, we meticulously consider factors such as the product's angle of repose to ensure efficient conveyance with minimal spillage. Our expertise also encompasses the selection of the most appropriate conveyor belt tailored to the specific product, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
Belt conveyors are versatile systems utilized for both unit handling—transporting uniformly shaped, fully contained items such as boxes and pallets—and bulk material handling, which involves moving large volumes of materials like grain, sand, ore, and coal.
At Facet Engineering, we are committed to delivering conveyor solutions that meet the highest standards of efficiency, reliability, and performance.
