How do you make a conveyor belt?

In: Science [Edit categories]

Answer:

A conveyor belt is usually a flexible belt (rubber, plastic sheet, metal links, etc) that is passed around 2 or more rollers. One or more of the rollers is powered which makes the belt move. If you put something on the belt it is "conveyed." Typically there are also tensioners, a support system, etc.

The decision to make or buy will depend on your application and budget but it would not be simple to put together a really good conveyer from scratch.
