A conveyor belt is a line where transport units are conveyed by a powered conveyor belt that covers almost the entire nominal width.

Conveyor belts are used for horizontal transport and for ascending and descending conveyor lines.

An inclination of 18° should, however, not be exceeded.

Belts with different surface characteristics may be used.

Belts with fine grooves are, for example, used for inclinations of 10° or more.
