Wherever bulk material needs to be moved from one point to another within a plant or factory, a conveyor belt drive is essentially an essential component of a conveyor belt system. Prior to the introduction of lighter, composite materials and the development of stricter regulatory norms in the pharmaceutical, food processing, tire manufacturing, and chemical industries, the Conveyor Belts used in the industry were made of steel and other metal parts. However, in industries where there is a chance of contamination or chemical reaction, plastic belts have been introduced. Conveyor belts have been more popular recently due to their low cost, light weight, and high adaptability. They consequently find use in the industrial, mining, food processing, warehouse, manufacturing, and electric car industries.
