Belt conveyors at MHEL are one of the most widely used and dependable material handling solutions across a broad range of industries. Simple and yet highly versatile, they use a continuous moving belt to carry items from one point to another – whether that’s across short distances in packaging lines or between production zones in a factory.
With options ranging from standard drum-driven belts to modular mesh systems and heavy-duty slat or plate-link conveyors, belt conveyors can suit almost any operational need. Whether you’re handling light goods or rugged materials, there’s a belt conveyor setup to match.
Products are transported directly on the belt surface, ensuring smooth, reliable, and consistent movement. This makes them ideal for situations where gentle handling, speed control, and clean, uninterrupted flow are essential.
Where Belt Conveyors Are Used
Belt conveyors are a staple in sectors such as manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, food production, and recycling. Their adaptability means they’re just as effective transporting delicate consumer goods as they are moving heavy or abrasive materials.
Common uses include:
Assembly lines, where components are transferred between stations efficiently.
Food processing, where hygiene and temperature resistance are critical.
Distribution and fulfilment centres, for reliable goods movement and order picking.
Recycling plants, handling high volumes of mixed materials.
Foundries and waste facilities, moving heavy, hot, or sharp items with ease.
Thanks to their low maintenance and high reliability, belt conveyors are an excellent investment for any business!
Types of Belt Conveyors at Mhel
At Mhel, we offer three main types of belt conveyors, each suited to different applications:
Mesh / Modular Belts
Modular, wire mesh or honeycomb belts generally have a driven shaft with sprockets or pulleys integrated that engage into the modular pitches of the belt (or chain). Mild steel or stainless steels belts are excellent for high temperatures whilst plastics etc. are flexible options for sterile environments.
