Most of the conveyor applications are run at constant speed or at variable speed. It can be achieved by three various methods. They are pulse control, velocity control and network control. The position of a belt will be change when it is rotated in dangerous speed. To prevent from these certain parameters are should be followed. They are side of flow direction, motor position and motor terminal box. The input voltage given to the conveyor may be a DC/AC supply. In industries they are mostly preferred AC voltage motors. In case of single direction rotating the motor, it consumes maximum 1W to 200 W. By the depending on motors connected its power consumption will be varied.
