Metallic strip belt conveyors are used in food, chemical industry and for conveying hot and reactive loads. Wire-mesh belts are being widely used to handle unit and lump materials through furnaces (up to 1000°C temperature), as mobile base for baking industry and also for wetting, cooling, dehydrating and similar operations.

(e) Portable Conveyor: Short length flat conveyors carried on a wheeled structure is termed portable conveyor. These are particularly useful for loading and unloading of trucks / transport vehicles. The inclination of the conveyor can generally be adjusted to suit application. Apart from above mentioned major types of belt conveyors, there are a few special types worth mentioning. These are:
(f) Chain or Rope Driven Belt Conveyor: In which the specially designed belt is driven by a moving chain or rope, where belt only serves as load carrier, and motion is by a chain or rope conveyor (refer section 6.2).
(g) Submerged Belt Conveyor: In which a portion of the belt moves through a metallic trough
(casing) which is filled with free flowing, powdered material at the loading end. The moving
belt with holes, makes the material flow to the unloading end of the trough. Fig. 6.1.5
shows a line drawing of a submerged belt conveyor.
