| Conveying equipment play an important roles in transporting material from one mill to another, Some are designed to operate horizontally, some on a slope, others elevate the material vertically to a different level of the building. The requirement for elevators and conveyors will depend on how automated the mill is to be and how its plant is laid out. |
| |
| The
utmost use of such equipment is made in the modern pellet
mill (often using pneumatic systems) to minimize labour needs
and to maximise the use of land by building multi-storey,
rather than horizontally arranged plants |

| Airlocks:
Lock the air, release the powder or granulated materials out. |

Belt
Conveyors: Belt Conveyor is used to transfer material
or final product. It can be combined with other transfer equipments
to build different transfer lines for mass production needs.
It is basically a conveyor consisting of two or more pulleys
that have a continuous loop of material that rotates about
them. Either one or both pulleys are powered and the belt
moves along with the materials on the belt. |

| Bucket
elevators: Bucket elevators are designed to gently
transport a wide variety of products, both horizontally and
vertically, transfer material to avoid damage. More used to
lift the material to up level. |

 |
| Screw
Conveyors: Screw conveyors are used to convey materials
such as bulk solids or sludge both on horizontal and high
inclination, and are designed to provide an enclosed method
of transferring materials from one point to another. It isconsisting
of a screw inside a hollow pipe, contained within a tube and
it is turned with the help of a motor in order to deliver
material from one end of the conveyor to the other. |
