Conveyor belt

A conveyor belt is a mechanism which is able to transport goods or people over a distance. It is made of a band, which is held by a number of wheels. On one side, the belt is used for transport, on the other, it travels back the distance. Conveyor belts are commonly used to transport bulk goods, such as sand or coal.
