belt conveyor

Industrial transport loop

A belt conveyor is a continuous loop of material—rubber, fabric, or metal—stretched between rollers to transport goods or bulk materials.

Common in factories, warehouses, airports, and mines: Luggage moved along the belt conveyor to baggage claim.

The belt runs in a single direction, carrying items from one point to another.
