Description: This paper provides an overview of a number of different types of belt conveyor systems available for transporting bulk materials. While conventional troughed belt conveyors have been used since the late 1800's, a wide range of specialised belt conveyor systems have since been developed to meet the specific requirements of a diverse range of conveying applications. These requirements include; environmental limits and controls, topographical conditions, bulk material characteristics, and minimising energy intensity, to name but a few. The main characteristics of a number of specialised systems will be presented, highlighting the wide range of options currently available, in addition to their specific advantages and typical areas of application.
