           Coming to types of conveyors, there are many alternative varieties of conveyors we are able to notice. First of all companies those who want to use conveyors should be able to notice their wants. Some of the foremost common things ought to be considered before installation are mentioned below.

Product type being handled: Unit load or Bulk load
Product dimension: Length, breadth and height
Product Variability
Surrounding environment i.e., It's location : Overhead, on-floor, or in-floor
Whether or not lots will accumulate on the conveyor
Type of path: Horizontal, Declined or Inclined manner

Different types of conveyors:

          The verity of conveyors is infinite, but the two major classifications used in typical plants are Pneumatic and Mechanical.

Note: The power requirement of a Pneumatic conveyor system are much greater than for a mechanical conveyor of equal capacity.
