2. Cleated Belt Conveyors:

• Equipped with cleats or lugs on the belt surface to grip and transport products.
• Ideal for handling heavy or bulky items, especially on inclined surfaces.
• Commonly used in mining, manufacturing, and construction industries.

3. Modular Belt Conveyors:

• Highly flexible and customizable, with modular components that can be easily reconfigured.
• Can be used to create complex conveyor systems with various configurations.
• Ideal for industries with frequent changes in product size, shape, or weight.

4. Sanitary Belt Conveyors:
