Power Consumption of Conveyor Accessories
Join us for an informative webinar on the power consumption of conveyor accessories and their critical role in modern bulk material handling. CEMA defines conveyor accessories as components that, while not essential in themselves, significantly enhance the effectiveness and usefulness of the entire conveyor system. Many conveyors are initially purchased with only basic components, leading to unrealistic performance expectations.

In this webinar, we will explore how accessories that were once considered non-essential have now become standard components central to efficient and safe conveyor operations. These accessories can transform a problematic conveyor into a clean, safe, and productive system, provided they are properly fitted and maintained. We will also discuss the common issue of modifying basic conveyors to add problem-solving accessories without considering the additional belt tension required, which can result in conveyors that fail to start up even when empty.
