Mobile conveyors are movable material handling equipment used in mining, quarries, warehouses, and construction sites. They come in two categories: large ones for mining and quarrying, and smaller ones for handling loads. The conveyors can be powered by electric motors, gas, or diesel engines. They can use flat belts, buckets, cleats, or bollards to move materials. Some models are foldable for easy transportation. A mobile vacuum conveyor is used to move powders and liquids. Non-powered roller conveyors are also mobile and foldable.
A mobile conveyor is a type of material handling equipment that can be moved from one location to another, rather than being permanently installed. One category of mobile conveyors is primarily used in mining and quarrying contexts, while the other is more commonly used to handle much smaller loads in warehouses and outdoor construction sites. Some mobile conveyors that are used in mining and quarrying operations are very large and rest on masts that can be assembled where needed. Other very large mobile conveyors are intended to follow mobile crushing plants and other machinery around a quarry. The smaller mobile transport units are designed to be set up temporarily in warehouses or construction sites and are sometimes foldable or set up on dolly trailers.
There are two primary classes of mobile carriers which can be differentiated based on the industries they are in. The largest units are found in quarries and mines and are designed with movement in mind despite being very large. This type of mobile transporter is sometimes built on a truss that can be mounted wherever the job requires, and in some cases various types of heavy equipment can also be mounted on the truss. A mobile stacking conveyor is a variety that rests on tracks installed on a heavy truss so that it can move back and forth as needed.
Another type of mobile conveyor found in quarries is designed to follow mobile crushing plants and other similar machinery. These conveyors are often constructed in segments so that materials from a crushing plant or excavator can be moved through the quarry for further processing. The other purpose behind this type of mobile conveyor is that it can be moved to a safe location while blasting.
Many other mobile transporters are much smaller and designed for use in locations such as outdoor construction sites, warehouses and even delivery vehicles. These conveyors can use flat belts, buckets, cleats and various other components depending on the types of materials that need to be handled. Some of these mobile haulers use bollards to lift objects up a steep incline, while buckets are useful for moving dirt and other loose materials. These conveyors are often powered by electric motors, although gas and diesel engines are also often available for outdoor work away from electricity.
In addition to the various types of mobile belt conveyors, there are also other models for handling a variety of materials. A mobile vacuum conveyor is a device primarily intended to move powders and liquids short distances. This type of mobile conveyor is often built on some type of rotating frame, and is usually capable of transporting materials both vertically and horizontally. Non-powered roller conveyors are also sometimes mobile and are often foldable for easy transportation. Some foldable mobile roller conveyors can be particularly useful for delivering goods to loading docks.
