Description: This paper presents a brief overview of the various modes of transporting bulk solids with guidelines concerning factors to be considered regarding conveyor selection. The main emphasis of the paper is on mechanical conveyors in which salient aspects of research and technological developments are highlighted. Since the subject of mechanical conveying is indeed quite broad, the paper focuses primarily, by way of example, on belt and screw conveyors and bucket elevators. Of paramount importance to the design and selection process is the characterization of the flow and handling properties of the bulk solid to be conveyed. This aspect of conveyor design forms the main theme of the paper. The paper is illustrated by case study examples.
