Belt Conveyor
Smooth, Gentle Grain Transfer Between Every Stage of Your Rice Mill
Belt Conveyor for Gentle, Efficient Grain Handling
A belt conveyor is a horizontal or low-angle inclined material handling system that uses a continuously moving belt to transport paddy, brown rice, or milled rice between processing stages. Because the belt carries grain in a smooth, sliding motion rather than dropping or scraping it, it is one of the gentlest conveying methods available — important for fragile long-grain and basmati varieties.
Agromach builds its belt conveyors for continuous multi-shift operation and dusty environments, matching belt width, incline angle, speed, and drop height to the grain stage being handled, with skirt boards and lined transition chutes to control spillage and reduce grain-to-metal impact.
- Gentle, low-breakage transfer between processing stages
- Horizontal or inclined configuration (up to ~15-20°)
- Multiple belt widths and speeds available
- Reduces manual handling and improves hygiene
The Cost of Poor Grain Material Handling
When mills rely on manual handling or poorly matched conveying equipment between stages, several problems compound across the plant:
- Grain-on-grain and grain-on-metal impact fractures kernels, lowering yield
- Open, unenclosed transfer points let dust escape, raising fire/health risk
- Spillage at drops and transitions causes direct material loss
- Excessive drop height or speed increases impact damage to milled rice
- Manual transfer slows throughput and adds labor cost
Left unaddressed, these issues quietly erode both output quality and plant efficiency.
Belt Conveyors Built for Rice Mill Realities
Agromach's belt conveyors are designed around the specific handling needs of each stage of the rice milling process — controlling speed, incline, drop height, and enclosure so grain moves through the plant with minimal damage and minimal loss.
Gentle handling, matched to the grain stage, is what protects your milling recovery.
- Smooth belt movement minimizes grain impact damage
- Skirt boards and lined chutes control spillage at transfer points
- Controlled speed and drop height reduce breakage of milled rice
- Enclosed/covered transfer points help contain dust
- Continuous mechanical transfer reduces manual handling
Reliable, gentle conveying stage after stage — built to protect both grain and output.
Agromach Belt Conveyor — Durable & Grain-Safe
Agromach belt conveyors combine mechanical durability with grain-safe handling.
Key Features
- Multiple belt widths (roughly 300–1500 mm) to match capacity
- Adjustable operating speed for the grain stage being conveyed
- Horizontal and inclined configurations
- Skirt boards on both sides to prevent spillage
- Rubber/fabric-lined transition chutes to cushion grain impact
- Safety features such as emergency stops and belt guards
Built for Every Stage of the Mill
Agromach configures belt conveyors specifically for:
- Cleaning-to-destoning and destoning-to-husking transfer
- Husking-to-whitening and whitening-to-grading transfer
- Grading-to-packing and bagging line transfer
- Bulk transfer to storage bins, silos, or loading points
Each stage gets a conveyor matched to its speed and gentleness requirement.

Belt Conveyor Price
The belt conveyor price depends on:
- Belt width, length, and configuration (straight vs. inclined)
- Motor power and speed for required throughput
- Frame and belt material selection
- Additional fittings — skirt boards, lined chutes, covers, guards
- Integration requirements with adjacent equipment
