Definition of modular conveyor line

Modular conveyor line

The modular conveying line is mainly to complete the conveying tasks of its materials. Around the warehouse, production workshop and packaging workshop, a conveyor chain composed of many belt conveyors, roller conveyors, etc. is set up, which are connected to form a continuous conveyor line. At the entrance and exit of the material, there are path fork devices, elevators and ground conveyor lines. In this way, a closed circulating conveyor line system that can reach each production location smoothly is formed within the scope of the warehouse, production workshop and packaging workshop. All materials, parts, components and finished products used in the production process must be packed in pallet boxes with barcodes before they can enter the conveyor system. Under the action of the production instruction issued by the production management system, the pallet box filled with materials enters the conveyor line system from the designated entrance.

The history of modular conveyor lines

The ancient Chinese high drum car and the water-lifting tipper were the prototypes of modern bucket elevators and scraper conveyors; in the middle of the 17th century, aerial ropeways were used to transport bulk materials; in the middle of the 19th century, various modern structures were used for transportation Machines appeared one after another.

In 1868, belt conveyors appeared in Britain; in 1887, screw conveyors appeared in the United States; in 1905, steel belt conveyors appeared in Switzerland; in 1906, inertial conveyors appeared in Britain and Germany. Since then, the conveyor has been continuously improved by the technological advancement of machinery manufacturing, electrical machinery, chemical and metallurgical industries, and has gradually developed from the completion of the transportation within the workshop to the completion of the material handling within the enterprise, between enterprises and even between cities, becoming a material An indispensable part of the mechanization and automation of the handling system.
