• You have just checked above, the list of different conveyor belt types. Now we will check more details about each one in terms of industrial use, features, specification & cost.
• Slider Bed: The surface of Slider bed conveyor made up of steel or sometime Masonite. main function is to carry goods or items. best use for sorting, assembly line operations, inspection & packing.
