What type of conveyors are used to move large amounts of material and products from one area to another?

Bulk conveyors are specifically designed for transporting large quantities of material and products across various distances. They are typically used in industries dealing with bulk materials, such as agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. The design of bulk conveyors allows for the efficient handling of heavy and bulk items, including aggregates, grains, coal, and other similar materials.

Bulk conveyors may include belt conveyors, screw conveyors, and bucket elevators, each tailored to handle specific types of bulk materials effectively. Their robust construction ensures they can handle the weight and volume involved without compromising operational efficiency. In contrast, the other types of conveyors mentioned are geared towards different functions: gravity conveyors are best for lighter, moveable products, sorter conveyors specialize in directing products to different areas based on sorting criteria, and accumulator conveyors are designed to temporarily hold products before they continue on their path, thus not optimizing the movement of large quantities in the same way bulk conveyors do.
