Conveyor belts are commonly used to transport irregular or small items efficiently in warehouses and manufacturing facilities. The global conveyor belt market is growing at 3% per day and worth $2.15 billion, with India being one of the fastest growing conveyor belt markets. Conveyor belts are made of materials like rubber, PVC or polyurethane on a carcass of materials like PET, polyamide or steel. They undergo various tests to ensure strength, tear resistance and durability.

Textile & Engineering Institute, Ichalkaranji Promoted by Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India Introduction Rubber conveyor belts are commonly used to convey items with irregular bottom surfaces, small items that would fall in between rollers or bags of product that would sag between rollers. Conveyors are durable and reliable components used in automated distribution and warehousing. In combination with computer-controlled pallet handling equipment this allows for more efficient retail, wholesale, and manufacturing distribution. It is considered a labour saving system that allows large volumes to move rapidly through a process, allowing companies to ship or receive higher volumes with smaller storage space and with less labour expense. What is conveyor belt • a continuous moving band of fabric, rubber, or metal used for transporting objects from one place to another. • Conveyor belts are composite material that should be endless in nature. • They are either use to transmit motion of power of motor form one pulley to another. • Or used as material handling and transportation systems to carry goods form one place to another. Market scenario Global market: • conveyor belt market size will grow by USD 2.15 billion by 2021 • Growing by 3% day by day. Domestic market: • Indian conveyor belt market size is around $250 billion. • And it is growing day by day. • India is worlds fastest growing economy in world conveyor market.
