Conveyor belt

A conveyor belt is the carrying medium of a belt conveyor system (often shortened to belt conveyor). A belt conveyor system is one of many types of conveyor systems. A belt conveyor system consists of two or more pulleys (sometimes referred to as drums), with an endless loop of carrying medium—the conveyor belt—that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler pulley. There are two main industrial classes of belt conveyors; Those in general material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory and bulk material handling such as those used to transport large volumes of resources and agricultural materials, such as grain, salt, coal, ore, sand, overburden and more.

Today there are different types of conveyor belts that have been created for conveying different kinds of material available in PVC and rubber materials.

Arcade is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in 1978's Marvel Team-Up (vol. 1) #65, created by writer Chris Claremont and writer/artist John Byrne.

He was the main villain and driving force behind the 2012-2014 comic book Avengers Arena.

Arcade's first intended victims were Spider-Man and Captain Britain but since Arcade's Murderworld games always leaves the outcome up to chance the duo defeated Arcade and escaped with their lives. Over the years Arcade has targeted a multitude of X-Men and members of X-Factor, X-Force and Excalibur. For a while he used the Crazy Gang as his hired henchmen with limited success. In Avenger Arena Arcade and his associates manage to kidnap 16 super powered teens and force them to fight each other and his latest Murderworld for survival. During the storyline several of the teens were killed but in the end Arcade seemingly dies as S.H.I.E.L.D.. Wolverine, Hank Pym and Captain Britain free the surviving teens. In the follow up series Avengers Undercover it was revealed that Arcade survived and that it was a clone that was killed at the end of the story.

Conveyor system

A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the transportation of heavy or bulky materials. Conveyor systems allow quick and efficient transportation for a wide variety of materials, which make them very popular in the material handling and packaging industries. Many kinds of conveying systems are available, and are used according to the various needs of different industries. There are chain conveyors (floor and overhead) as well. Chain conveyors consist of enclosed tracks, I-Beam, towline, power & free, and hand pushed trolleys.

Industries that use conveyor systems

Conveyor systems are used widespread across a range of industries due to the numerous benefits they provide.

Conveyor (sternwheeler)

The Conveyor sternwheeler was one of five sternwheelers built for the use on the Skeena River by Foley, Welch and Stewart for construction work on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The other four were the Operator, the Skeena, the Distributor and the Omineca. Three of these, the Conveyor, the Operator and the Distributor were built at Victoria, British Columbia in 1908 by Alexander Watson Jr.

Skeena River

The Conveyor began her work on the Skeena River in 1909 under the command of Captain Jack Shannon. She and the other four Foley, Welch and Stewart sternwheelers had their work cut out for them. The construction of the railway from Prince Rupert to Hazelton was one of the most difficult sections of track that would ever be laid in North America. This 186 mile stretch would take nearly four years to build and would employ thousands of workers.

At the end of the season of navigation in 1911, the Conveyor and her sister ship Operator were finished on the Skeena, but would continue to work on the Grand Trunk Pacific from the other end of construction on the upper Fraser River.
