The belts move the material in a straight direction or they can be moved through directional changes; and elevation. One feature of conveyor belts is that when transporting the materials, it is done through controlled movement. Belt conveyors, gravity roller, a chain conveyor or whichever your business requires; they are a crucial asset.

Here are five main reasons as to why conveyors are so popular in industry:

1. Material handling: The speed and efficiency provided by conveyors when handling materials contributes to increased productivity; thus making it easier to meet production targets.
2. Reduces injury: Being designed to handle heavy loads, they reduce workplace injuries that employees could incur when moving large or heavy loads.
3. Environmentally friendly: No fossil fuels are needed to operate conveyor belts therefore no harmful emissions are released. Making them an environmentally friendly addition to the working environment.
4. Secure handling: Conveyor belts are used to move various types of material; their speed can be adjusted to suit the material being handled; this adjustable speed allows for secure handling.
5. Versatility: A key benefit of conveyors is how versatile they are. Loads of different shape, size and weight can be moved across the belt, contributing to the efficiency of a company.

With the increased desire to have maximum productivity with low costs – conveyors are helping business achieve this goal. Outside of automation conveyors are also suited in the following industries:

• Food processing – Belt conveyors as well as Vibratory and Flexi-screw conveyors are popular in the food processing industry
• Bottling & Canning – often multi-lane conveyors are used
• Mining – conveyors are prominent in the mining industry. There you can find PVC and Rubber conveyors being made use of.

Whichever industry you find yourself in, there are numerous choices in which conveyor is best suited for your business.

1. A conveyor system can speed up your production process.

If you're looking to increase efficiency in your production line, a conveyor system is an ideal solution. By automating the movement of materials, you can drastically reduce the amount of time and labor required to move them from one stage of production to the next.

2. A conveyor system can improve your product quality.

By ensuring that materials are moved smoothly and evenly throughout the production process, a conveyor system can help to reduce defects and improve the quality of your finished products.

4. A conveyor system can help you meet customer demands.

By increasing the speed and efficiency of your production process, a conveyor system can help you meet customer demands more effectively, resulting in satisfied customers and increased sales.

5. A conveyor system can improve employee safety.

Conveyor systems can automate many dangerous or repetitive tasks that would otherwise be performed by employees, improving safety conditions in your workplace.

6. Automating your processes saves time, and saving time saves money. There are many other more productive tasks that your staff could be doing rather than manning a conveyor system. Automation can also help you cut back on any mistakes. CCL have recently completed an AI automated process that a human being simply couldnt compete with in terms of output, and neither would they want to. The speed in which the product went down the belt was breath taking. Each and every product was checked using AI, and sorted accordingly.

As well as the above there are another of positive reasons as to why a conveyor belt system from CCL can help you:

You need to reduce product damage. Naturally damage in the production or packaging environment occurs, but the threshold can rise too much the wrong way, if automation is not something that is part of your process. Conveyor Automation is a simple but effective way of automating your production environment and here at CCL we have worked with many customers where their objective was to install a system that was automated, to improve the costs associated with damage.

You want a competitive edge. If your competitors are not focusing on automation or conveyor automation for example then instantly you are going to be in the driving seat. Through taking a modern and effective approach to improving your systems and processes you can find that you end up streets ahead of your rivals in terms of production output. Not only that, if you put together the 6 advantages listed above they will have an overall impact upon your competitive edge, and thats surely the best outcome your investment can get for you.
