Another kind of roller that only changes the moving direction of the conveyor belt is called reversing roller. The driving roller is driven by a motor through a reducer, and the conveyor belt is dragged by the friction between the driving roller and the conveyor belt. The driving roller is generally installed at the discharge end to increase traction and facilitate dragging. The material is fed from the feed end and falls on the rotating conveyor belt, which is driven by the friction of the conveyor belt and transported to the discharge end for discharge.

The main feature of the belt conveyor is that the fuselage can be easily extended and retracted, with storage bins, and the tail can be extended or shortened with the advancement of the coal mining face. Compact structure, can be directly laid on the roadway floor without foundation. The frame is light in weight and easy to assemble and disassemble.
When the conveying capacity and distance are large, an intermediate transmission device can be equipped to meet the requirements. According to the requirements of conveying technology, materials can be conveyed by a single machine or by a horizontal or inclined conveying system composed of multiple units.
Belt conveyor has the advantages of large conveying capacity, simple structure, convenient maintenance, low cost and strong versatility, and is widely used in metallurgy, coal, transportation, hydropower, chemical industry and other departments.
