A conveyor is an assembly designed to move bulk materials or discrete articles from one location to another through a continuous mechanical mechanism such as a belt, chain, screw, or rollers.
PT-BR
Um transportador é um conjunto projetado para mover materiais a granel ou artigos discretos de um local para outro por meio de um mecanismo mecânico contínuo, como correia, corrente, parafuso ou roletes.

Outputs (O)
MaterialEntity
— same material delivered at discharge point
Transformation (T)
continuous mechanical transport of material from one location to another without change in material state
The conveyor moves material spatially without chemically or physically altering it, distinguishing it from mills, crushers, and mixers.
