Conveyor systems are designed to minimize human labor in distribution and transfer. They are a crucial means of transporting solid materials over long distances, whether inclined or horizontal. These belt systems, which utilize two rotating pulleys for conveying materials, consist of numerous gears, hooks, buckets, and rubber belts. Conveyor belts are widely used in daily life for loading, unloading, stocking, retrieving, and material handling, from industry to airports and winter sports centers. The choice of materials used in their production, as well as the belt dimensions and weight based on the load it will carry, are entirely dependent on the intended final use.
