Mobile Conveyor

What is Mobile Conveyor?

Mobile Conveyor  is a device that can be moved between different locations and used to transport materials. Its main function is to provide a flexible material handling solution to adapt to different work sites and needs. According to the conveying method and structural characteristics, Mobile Conveyor can be divided into many types, including mobile belt conveyors, mobile screw conveyors and mobile telescopic belt conveyors. These different types of conveyors each have certain advantages, such as ease of movement, adaptability to a variety of materials, and relatively simple structure.

The advantage of Mobile Conveyor is that it can move freely between different sites according to the needs of the operation, which improves the efficiency and convenience of material transfer. Among them, mobile screw conveyors usually use spiral blades to push materials in a closed trough or pipe, which is particularly suitable for the closed transportation of bulk materials such as powders and granules. It can effectively control dust and loss and ensure the cleanliness of materials. Mobile belt conveyors carry materials through continuous conveyor belts. With their large conveying capacity and high efficiency, they are widely used in the rapid transportation of bulk materials and bagged, boxed and other finished items.

What are the types of Mobile Conveyors?

Mobile Conveyors are widely used in many occasions where frequent movement or unfixed work sites are required due to their flexibility and adaptability. According to their conveying principles and structural characteristics, common Mobile Conveyors can be divided into two categories: mobile screw conveyors and mobile belt conveyors.

Mobile screw conveyors are mainly suitable for conveying bulk materials in powder, granular and some small blocks. They are usually equipped with wheels or movable bases for on-site transfer. Mobile screw conveyors can achieve inclined conveying from 0° to about 60°. For large inclination angles (such as vertical conveying), specially designed vertical screw conveyors are required.

Features

Good closure: The spiral blades rotate in a tubular or U-shaped groove, which can effectively prevent dust from flying and material spilling, reduce environmental pollution, and are particularly suitable for conveying powder and granular materials.

Compact structure: Compared with belt conveyors with the same conveying capacity, screw conveyors occupy a smaller area and are more suitable for places with limited space.

Conveying capacity: The conveying capacity is relatively small compared to fixed screw conveyors, but it can be adjusted according to the screw diameter, speed and inclination angle, usually in the range of several tons/hour to tens of tons/hour.

Material: Commonly used materials are carbon steel (suitable for general low-wear and non-corrosive materials) and stainless steel (suitable for food, chemical and other occasions with strict requirements on hygiene and corrosion prevention).

The mobile belt conveyor conveys materials through a continuous conveyor belt, usually equipped with a lifting mechanism and a movable chassis to meet the needs of different working heights and positions.

Features

Large conveying capacity and high efficiency: The conveying capacity can be adjusted according to the belt width, speed and material density, usually reaching tens of tons/hour to hundreds of tons/hour. The bandwidth and speed of the belt conveyor can be flexibly adjusted to achieve rapid conveying of large quantities of materials.

Wide range of applicable materials: Almost all types of bulk materials (such as coal, ore, sand, grain, etc.) can be conveyed, as well as bagged and boxed items.

Adjustable height and angle: Most mobile belt conveyors are equipped with hydraulic or electric lifting mechanisms, which can easily adjust the height and tilt angle of the conveyor to meet different loading and unloading height requirements.

Conveying distance: The conveying distance of mobile belt conveyors is relatively flexible, ranging from a few meters to dozens of meters, mainly depending on the length and design of the fuselage, and can effectively cover short-distance to medium-distance material transfer needs.

Conveyor belt material: Common materials include rubber, PVC, PU etc., selected according to material properties (such as wear resistance, oil resistance, heat resistance, food grade, etc.).

Frame material: Usually made of carbon steel, the surface is spray-painted; stainless steel can also be used for special environments or occasions with anti-corrosion requirements.

What are the advantages and characteristics of Mobile Conveyor?

Mobile Conveyor, especially mobile belt conveyor, has shown significant advantages in the field of material handling. Its most prominent feature is its high mobility and flexibility. It is equipped with mobile mechanisms such as wheels, which enable it to be easily transferred between different work sites without complicated disassembly and assembly, which improves its versatility in different production links or sites. Compared with fixed conveyor lines, Mobile Conveyor can be quickly deployed and started, saving time and labor costs. It can also adapt to changing operational needs and adjust the position and conveying route according to the layout of the production or logistics site. By moving directly to the loading and unloading point or the required path, it effectively reduces repeated handling, improves efficiency and reduces labor intensity. In addition, its structure is relatively simple, maintenance is convenient, and it is cost-effective in specific scenarios. It can also be easily used in conjunction with other logistics equipment or fixed conveyor lines to form a more flexible system. In summary, the core advantage of Mobile Conveyor lies in its flexibility and convenience, which enables it to better adapt to the changing operating environment and needs.

What are the uses of Mobile Conveyor?

Mobile Conveyor plays an important role in many industries and links due to its convenient mobility and flexible deployment capabilities. Its main uses include temporary material transportation in occasions where temporary construction or adjustment of conveyor lines is required, such as material handling at construction sites and grain transportation during the agricultural harvest season. In terms of loading and unloading operations, Mobile Conveyor is widely used in cargo loading and unloading links, especially in places without fixed loading and unloading platforms, such as loading and unloading trucks, train carriages, and bulk or piece goods on ships. In terms of short and medium-distance transportation, it serves as a flexible tool to connect processes or equipment in the production process that are not far away and whose layout may change. In addition, some mobile conveyors that can be lifted and lowered can also be used for stacking and palletizing materials to improve the utilization of storage space. Mobile conveyors are also often used in conjunction with other equipment to form a material handling system, and as an emergency or backup solution when a fixed conveying system fails. In short, the purpose of mobile conveyors is to provide a flexible and convenient material transportation solution that can quickly adjust the transportation route and the work location according to actual needs, and is suitable for a variety of scenarios that require temporary and variable material handling.

Mobile Conveyor Cases

Mobile Conveyors play an irreplaceable role in a variety of scenarios where material transfer is required, due to their inherent flexibility and convenience. Their main advantage is that they can be quickly deployed and moved between different locations according to operational requirements, which improves the efficiency and adaptability of material handling. This type of equipment is widely used in bulk material loading and unloading operations. For example, when materials are unloaded from transport vehicles (such as trucks and trains) to yards or silos, Mobile Conveyors can efficiently lift materials from low places to a specified height, or directly transport them to a specific location. Conversely, when materials need to be loaded from yards or silos to transport vehicles, they can also provide the same convenient solution. In addition, Mobile Conveyors are particularly outstanding in temporary or site-constrained working environments. At construction sites, they can be easily moved to transport sand, soil or other construction materials to adapt to changes in construction progress. In warehouses or logistics centers, when goods in different areas need to be quickly sorted, stacked or transferred, Mobile Conveyors can quickly adjust their positions to form temporary conveying paths, thereby optimizing the work process. They are also often used to connect different material handling links. In the process of agricultural product collection and storage, they can transport crops directly from the field to processing equipment or storage facilities, improving efficiency from source to storage. In short, Mobile Conveyor is an ideal choice for working environments that require frequent adjustments to the conveying path, height and position. They significantly improve operational flexibility and production efficiency by providing fast and variable material conveying solutions.

Mobile Conveyor Manufacturers

How much does a Mobile Conveyor cost?

The price of a Mobile Conveyor varies significantly due to its diverse designs and features, typically ranging from $300 to $7,000 or even higher. This wide price range reflects the differences in equipment configuration, performance, and degree of customization. The primary factor affecting the price of a Mobile Conveyor is the type. Mobile screw conveyors are usually relatively low in price, especially in standard configurations, because their structure is relatively simple and they focus more on the conveying of powdered or granular materials. Mobile belt conveyors are generally more expensive due to their large conveying capacity, wide range of applicable materials, and adjustable conveying distance and height, especially models involving large bandwidths, long distances, or special functions. The second is the specifications and performance parameters of the equipment. This includes the length, width (belt width or screw diameter), lifting height, conveying capacity (hourly conveying capacity), and drive power of the conveyor. Generally speaking, the equipment with greater conveying capacity, longer length, higher lifting height, and stronger drive power has higher manufacturing costs and selling prices. Material selection is also a key factor. Standard carbon steel structure equipment is usually less expensive. However, if the material is corrosive, abrasive or has hygiene requirements, stainless steel or other special alloys are required, which will significantly increase the manufacturing cost of the equipment and thus be reflected in the final price. Therefore, when evaluating the price of Mobile Conveyor, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the above factors to select equipment that meets actual needs and budget.

Due to its movable characteristics, mobile conveyors are practical in situations where flexible arrangements of transportation routes are required. When selecting equipment, it is necessary to consider the type of material to be transported, the required conveying volume, the conveying distance, and the specific conditions of the work site. For example, belt or spiral types may be selected for conveying bulk materials, while belt or roller types may be considered for conveying unit cargo. Convenience of movement is one of the main considerations for selecting mobile conveyors. Selecting the appropriate type and specification according to actual application needs can provide a relatively convenient solution for material handling.
