Continuous conveying machinery refers to the machinery that continuously transports granular materials or finished goods along a given line. Continuous conveying machines are mostly used for horizontal and inclined conveying of materials. Generally, the vertical conveying adopts bucket elevator, cradle conveyor, belt conveyor with pressure belt and fluid conveying device, etc.

There are two types of flexible traction components (such as tape, chain) and non flexible traction components.

The former is to place the goods on the traction component or in the bearing component, and use the continuous movement of the traction component to transport the goods along a certain direction, such as belt conveyor, plate conveyor, scraper conveyor, buried scraper conveyor, bucket elevator, cradle conveyor, aerial ropeway, escalator and automatic sidewalk, etc;

The latter uses the rotating or reciprocating movement of working components to transport materials, such as screw conveyor, vibration conveyor, roller conveyor, etc. In addition, there are also fluid conveying devices that use fluid power to convey materials in pipelines, such as pneumatic conveying devices, hydraulic conveying devices, etc.
