3. Indication of use There are more usages for Synthetic Belts besides the normal A-to-B (horizontal) conveying of goods, where a specific belt is needed to get the job done. Conveyor types examples: • Troughed conveyors • Curved conveying • Inclined or declined conveying • Accumulation • Troughed (roller support) Used to convey bulk materials such as sand, grain, sugar, etc. The belts need to have good lateral flexibility. • Curved conveying Curved belts are used to change the direction of travel of goods (between 30 and 180 degrees), for sorting purposes or when saving floor space is crucial. • Inclined/declined conveying For inclined conveying measures must be taken to prevent goods from sliding down or falling: cover profile providing high friction between goods and belts or accessories (like cleats) for larger angles of inclination or for bulk products. • Accumulation To interrupt the flow of goods temporarily, the simplest solution is to stop the belt, but often this is neither possible nor desirable. In this case, the flow of goods is stopped, while the belt continues to run. This is called accumulation or buffering.
