Belt Conveyors
Belt Conveyors are used to convey a great variety of products/materials along horizontal, declining or inclining paths. Belt conveyors are the most commonly used conveying equipment today due to the wide range of materials it can be used to convey and versatility of it's design.
Advance belt conveyors offer a very versatile, reliable and cost effective solution to any materials handling problem. Belt conveyors can be bought completely standard or can be tailored specifically to suit a certain environment or application.
Advance will tailor their standard design to suit your application, rather than selling you a "best fit" option.
For example if you decided you would like a standard A8120 belt conveyor but were not sure that you would get enough height adjustment on the leg frames, Advance offer bespoke leg frames built to get the exact height adjustment you require.
Or you wanted an A880 belt conveyor but were concerned that your product wouldn't transfer very well over 80dia rollers, Advance can tailor their standard belt conveyors for smaller end rollers to suit product transfer problems.

Some of the advantages are:
- A belt conveyor is one of the cheapest and most efficient ways to move material long distances.

- A belt conveyor can have changes in angle of incline/decline.
- The material can be visible on the belt while being conveyed.
