Course overview
Conveyor systems vary from small, simple conveyors to massive, industrial conveying systems. To operating and maintain these systems, technicians need a working knowledge of the basic components used in a typical conveyor. They also need to understand the equipment making up an industrial conveyor system. The Introduction to Conveyor Systems training course describes the components of a typical belt conveyor used in an industrial setting. It identifies equipment found in large-scale, industrial conveying systems. It also describes the purpose of each piece of equipment. Introduction to Conveyor Systems is part of the Belt Drive Maintenance series.
