conveyors transport material. From the perspective of the economy, conveyors perform the redundant tasks historically done by animals, people, handcarts, wagons, and trucks. From conveying integrated circuits only a few inches, to millions of tons of dirt over many miles, conveyor systems are the backbone of global product handling. This article examines the types of conveyors, conveyor components, and relevant terminology.
