Linear transport velocity of the material is almost proportional to the product of frequency and stroke for these conveyors. However, the transport velocity and the depth that can be obtained with a specific material is dependent on the handling characteristics of that material. Manufacturers have accumulated data banks relating material characteristics to attainable conveying velocities for their proprietary conveyor designs. 

As shown in Table 11.3, the concentrations of trace elements in the water column is - despite anthropogenic pollution - extremely small (10 11 - 10 7 M) illustrating the remarkable efficiency of the continuous "conveyor belt" of the settling adsorbing and scavenging particles. The sedimentary record reflects the accumulation of trace elements in sediments and a profile of concentration vs sediment-depth (or age) gives a "memory record" on the loading in the past (Fig. 11.9). 

During rain, mud and sand from the tires acquired from the pile would accumulate on the conveyor belt. The length and steepness of this conveyor caused tires to slide off the belt.1... 

Specially designed conveyor that dredges the frying pan to remove the accumulated solids or sludge from coated products. 

Case conveyors should be long enough to accumulate the cases rather than having an extra operator to stack them off the system when the palletizer shuts down. The cost of the accumulation conveyor must be compared with the extra labor cost incurred by hand stacking the cases. Return on investment criteria should be used to make this decision. Case conveyors should be at least 10% faster than the...

Each part is hand placed on an overhead chain conveyor that dips down into a trough with the appropriate paint. The parts are immersed for a few seconds to properly cover the part with the paint. As the time for immersion is completed, the part moves out of the paint trough, up an incline to a heated area for drying. When the part moves out of the trough, any excess paint will drip off onto a piece of plastic sheet. This paint currently dries on the plastic or accumulates into a small holding container, at the end of the incline, which is recovered. Plastic sheets are reused by color for other runs of the same color paint. Currently, paint dries on the sheets and can easily evaporate out of the small holding container.
