saco-indonesia.com, Pada saat ini teknologi conveyor juga sudah umum terdapat di bidang industri, pada awalnya ide dalam menciptakan teknologi ini telah terjadi kendala pada proses pemindahan raw material ataupun finished good pada industri pertambangan, yang sarat dengan tenaga manusia, yang sangat melimpah jumlahnya pada saat itu. Tetapi karena terkendala dengan produktivitas tenaga manusia yang tidak konsisten dan banyaknya tenaga kerja yang sakit, maka manusia telah mulai berpikir tentang cara pemindahan barang yang lebih efektif dan konsisten, lalu digunakannya rel dan gerobak kereta yang tidak terlalu banyak menguras tenaga manusia, sebelumnya dengan menggunakan tenaga manusia dalam pemindahan dengan diangkat dengan menggunakan ember pada awalnya. Saat sekarang ini teknologi conveyor juga sudah digunakan dalam industri pertambangan, dan jumlah tenaga kerja yang digunakan berkurang cukup signifikan sesuai dengan semakin banyaknya conveyor yang digunakan.
Conveyor adalah alat yang dapat digunakan memindahkan barang, dimana barang diletakkan diatas belt yang diputar oleh drum yang telah digerakkan oleh motor, bagaimana belt ini dapat berputar yaitu dengan diletakkannya drum pada awal sampai akhir meja conveyor, sehingga belt dapat dililitkan dengan menyambung ujung belt dengan ujung yang lain, selain itu terkadang drum yang digunakan hanya diletakkan diawal dan akhir meja conveyor karena bagian tengah meja conveyor hanya diberikan plat besi sebagai alas belt.
Conveyor dapat digunakan untuk mengangkut berbagai macam barang dari besar sampai kecil, baik itu mobil, makanan, minuman, koper dll. Pada saat sekarang ini sudah banyak digunakan pada industri-industri di tanah air, yang penggunaannya juga sudah banyak di implementasikan dalam berbagai fungsi yang luas, hampir seluruh bidang industri berskala menengah keatas yang memanfaatkan penggunaan conveyor ini, tetapi bila kita melihat industri kecil kita dapat melihat berbagai proses pemindahan masih banyak menggunakan tenaga manusia hal ini dikarenakan industri kecil masih dalam tahapan perkembangan baik itu dalam demand dan teknologi, sehingga proses produksinya tidak membutuhkan conveyor. Lain bila kita melihat indutri di jepang pada umumnya sangat tergantung dengan teknologi karena jumlah tenaga kerja yang sedikit dan mahal, sangatlah berlawanan dengan keadaan kita disini yang jumlah tenaga kerjanya melimpah dan murah. Conveyor sangat banyak fungsinya dalam membantu proses dalam industri dan penggunaannya digabung-gabung dengan berbagai macam fungsi sebagai berikut :
Proses pemindahan raw material keruang produksi, yang sangat banyak digunakan dalam berbagai industri terutama industri makanan, minuman, semen, botol, lampu, pertambangan dan lain-lain.
Proses pemindahan finished good, telah terjadi setelah proses produksi menjadikan raw material sudah selesai dan telah menjadi finished good, lalu barang dipindahkan di gudang, dimana barang siap packaging.
Proses produksi yang banyak dengan melakukan tahapan-tahapan dalam proses produksinya, yang dalam proses pemindahannya dilakukan oleh conveyor yang telah diselaraskan dengan proses produksinya agar dapat cepat dan akurat hasil produksinya.
Banyak industri yang juga sudah mengimplementasikan semua proses pemindahan seperti diatas, bahkan penggunaan forklift sudah banyak berkurang, hanya digunakan pada proses memasukkan finished good ke dalam container, yang sangat mengagumkan bahkan sudah ada industri yang menerapkan hal ini sehingga dengan sedikit orang sudah dapat menjalankan industri dengan baik dan cepat.

Demikian artikel singkat tentang Fungsi dan Kegunaan Conveyor  semoga dapat bermanfaat dan jangan lupa mampir lagi disini..

BALTIMORE — In the afternoons, the streets of Locust Point are clean and nearly silent. In front of the rowhouses, potted plants rest next to steps of brick or concrete. There is a shopping center nearby with restaurants, and a grocery store filled with fresh foods.

And the National Guard and the police are largely absent. So, too, residents say, are worries about what happened a few miles away on April 27 when, in a space of hours, parts of this city became riot zones.

“They’re not our reality,” Ashley Fowler, 30, said on Monday at the restaurant where she works. “They’re not what we’re living right now. We live in, not to be racist, white America.”

As Baltimore considers its way forward after the violent unrest brought by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died of injuries he suffered while in police custody, residents in its predominantly white neighborhoods acknowledge that they are sometimes struggling to understand what beyond Mr. Gray’s death spurred the turmoil here. For many, the poverty and troubled schools of gritty West Baltimore are distant troubles, glimpsed only when they pass through the area on their way somewhere else.

And so neighborhoods of Baltimore are facing altogether different reckonings after Mr. Gray’s death. In mostly black communities like Sandtown-Winchester, where some of the most destructive rioting played out last week, residents are hoping businesses will reopen and that the police will change their strategies. But in mostly white areas like Canton and Locust Point, some residents wonder what role, if any, they should play in reimagining stretches of Baltimore where they do not live.

“Most of the people are kind of at a loss as to what they’re supposed to do,” said Dr. Richard Lamb, a dentist who has practiced in the same Locust Point office for nearly 39 years. “I listen to the news reports. I listen to the clergymen. I listen to the facts of the rampant unemployment and the lack of opportunities in the area. Listen, I pay my taxes. Exactly what can I do?”

And in Canton, where the restaurants have clever names like Nacho Mama’s and Holy Crepe Bakery and Café, Sara Bahr said solutions seemed out of reach for a proudly liberal city.

“I can only imagine how frustrated they must be,” said Ms. Bahr, 36, a nurse who was out with her 3-year-old daughter, Sally. “I just wish I knew how to solve poverty. I don’t know what to do to make it better.”

The day of unrest and the overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations that followed led to hundreds of arrests, often for violations of the curfew imposed on the city for five consecutive nights while National Guard soldiers patrolled the streets. Although there were isolated instances of trouble in Canton, the neighborhood association said on its website, many parts of southeast Baltimore were physically untouched by the tumult.

Tensions in the city bubbled anew on Monday after reports that the police had wounded a black man in Northwest Baltimore. The authorities denied those reports and sent officers to talk with the crowds that gathered while other officers clutching shields blocked traffic at Pennsylvania and West North Avenues.

Lt. Col. Melvin Russell, a community police officer, said officers had stopped a man suspected of carrying a handgun and that “one of those rounds was spent.”

Colonel Russell said officers had not opened fire, “so we couldn’t have shot him.”

The colonel said the man had not been injured but was taken to a hospital as a precaution. Nearby, many people stood in disbelief, despite the efforts by the authorities to quash reports they described as “unfounded.”

Monday’s episode was a brief moment in a larger drama that has yielded anger and confusion. Although many people said they were familiar with accounts of the police harassing or intimidating residents, many in Canton and Locust Point said they had never experienced it themselves. When they watched the unrest, which many protesters said was fueled by feelings that they lived only on Baltimore’s margins, even those like Ms. Bahr who were pained by what they saw said they could scarcely comprehend the emotions associated with it.

But others, like Lambi Vasilakopoulos, who runs a casual restaurant in Canton, said they were incensed by what unfolded last week.

“What happened wasn’t called for. Protests are one thing; looting is another thing,” he said, adding, “We’re very frustrated because we’re the ones who are going to pay for this.”

There were pockets of optimism, though, that Baltimore would enter a period of reconciliation.

“I’m just hoping for peace,” Natalie Boies, 53, said in front of the Locust Point home where she has lived for 50 years. “Learn to love each other; be patient with each other; find justice; and care.”

A skeptical Mr. Vasilakopoulos predicted tensions would worsen.

“It cannot be fixed,” he said. “It’s going to get worse. Why? Because people don’t obey the laws. They don’t want to obey them.”

But there were few fears that the violence that plagued West Baltimore last week would play out on these relaxed streets. The authorities, Ms. Fowler said, would make sure of that.

“They kept us safe here,” she said. “I didn’t feel uncomfortable when I was in my house three blocks away from here. I knew I was going to be O.K. because I knew they weren’t going to let anyone come and loot our properties or our businesses or burn our cars.”
