Conveyor belts

Conveyor belts are the carrying medium of a belt conveyor system (often shortened to belt conveyor). A belt conveyor system is one of many types of conveyor systems. Conveyor belts system consists of two or more pulleys (sometimes referred to as drums), with an endless loop of carrying medium—the conveyor belt—that rotates about them.

One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the conveyor belts and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler pulley. There are two main industrial classes of conveyor belts.

Those in general material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory and bulk material handling such as those used to transport large volumes of resources and agricultural materials, such as grain, salt, coal, ore, sand, overburden and more.

Applying the quality management system ISO9001 and under the full European specifications, in 1998 Houtris manufactured the handling equipments for the new Paphos International Airport.

The project completed successfully, introducing a very new automatic and PLC controlled system which includes conveyor belts equipped with weighing system and a series of various types’ conveyor belts to the final collection point.

Designs can be modified according to customer need.
