How conveyor belt head pulley works?

A Conveyor belt's head pulley is also known as the drive pulley, its on this end of a conveyor system where the motorized pulley is installed. At this point the conveyed material is discharged "wherever" and the belt wraps around and begins its return cycle. The head pulley is at the discharge so that the conveyed material is "pulled" through the system vs. having the tail pulley motorized which would be forcing the system to "push" the belt containing the conveyed material.

What is conveyor belt?

Conveyors beltIt's a mechanical machine consisting of a continuous moving belt that transports materials from one place to another place.A conveyor belt consists primarily of two or more drums, with a continuous loop of material - the conveyor belt - that rotates about them.One or both of the drums (or pulleys) are powered by motoreducer, moving the belt and the material, the other drum are free to turn being dragged from the first.The powered drum is called "drive drum" while the unpowered pulley is called the idler (or tail drum).It can be divided into two main industrial classes of belt conveyors:- Those in general material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory generally in indoor locations.- Those used to transport industrial bulk material handling, such as clay, grain, coal, ores, rice, etc. in indoors or outdoor locations.Generally companies providing general material handling type belt conveyors do not provide the conveyors for bulk material handling.i just know the rubber belt,which use around the conveyor,and it is to save time and money to conveying goods in many factory,like steel factory,cement factory,and mines,you know i am working in a conveyor belt factory,and i know more about the conveyor belt.if you have anyquestion,aslo can emil to me.my email address is maoxiangrubber@foxmail.com.thankyou.i will reply to you .

How does a glacier recede?

An advancing glacier is like an ice making machine with the output being dropped on a conveyor belt. The ice travels along until the temperature of the surrounding environment stops it from proceeding any further by causing it to melt. When a glacier recedes, the conveyor belt is not switched to "reverse", it just means that the point at which it melts is moving closer to the ice making machine.
