ABSTRACT

The conveyors listed in this chapter do not really fit into any of the other categories in this book. They are important and fill specific material handling needs. I have avoided conveyors that are specific to a particular industry and have instead included conveyor types that are applicable to multiple industries, which are of interest to the broadest audience. We cover chutes, vibratory conveyors, air conveyors, screw conveyors, bucket elevators, chip conveyors, automated electrified monorail, and finally automated electrified monorail.
