If thousands of tons of bulk materials are to be transferred per hour, the use of belt conveyors is an inevitable option. Today, belt conveyors are the main carrier element in the manipulation of ore, coal, lime and sinter materials in mines, iron and steel factories, thermal power plants.

The history of belt conveyors is not very old. Belt conveyors, which first appeared in 1830, spread rapidly all over the world, especially after the improvement of belt quality and the use of triple guide rollers. Today, 20,000 tons per hour (1,000 truckloads per hour) material belt conveyors approximately 50 Km. can be transported long distance. Moreover, the cost of this transportation is ten times cheaper than the cost of transportation by truck.
