Conveyors can use different methods to convey products and materials. Conveyor machines for stable solid products or packages can use belts, rollers, side belts, or interlocking plastic plates, know as tabletop (Delron), to convey products. Side belt transfer conveyors are a special classification of conveyor for stable solid products.
