Conveyors are the most basic carrying medium in a conveyor system.
Out of all the distinct types of conveyors, belt conveyors are the most widely used type as they are the most versatile and least expensive.
It uses a wide belt and pulleys with the support of rollers or flat pan along its path.

Conveyors

Within the Extension, the Transportation, Accumulation, Gravity, Specialty, Sortation and Lifts sections are all defined as conveyors. Each of these means:

• Transportation
  Conveyors that have a motor, primarily used to move MTBH from one end to another. Drives can be moved by dragging the connector on the drive.
• Accumulation
  These conveyors have sensors that can detect a MTBH, then move parts of the conveyor to separate them between equal distances, then move the MTBH further into the conveyor system.
• Gravity
  Like Transportation, but does not come attached with a motor, therefore uses gravity, inertia, etc. to move the MTBH.
• Specialty
  Have special functions besides what have been covered in other sections. Such as measuring the weight of a MTBH, portable and stretchable conveyor, gapping between MTBH, etc.
• Sortation
  As the name suggests, these conveyors are mainly used to sort MTBH from one another.
• Lifts
  Lifts, or vertical conveyors are built to move MTBH vertically.

Properties

Though there are different properties among conveyors, you'll find that they come with a set of common properties.
Here are the explanations of some of these properties:

Property	Description
Name	The Name property is used to label conveyors. Whatever is typed here will be shown on the 2D tag when the Conveyor View Mode is selected.
Part	Conveyors of the same form can be swapped to another part. For example: Straight Belt Unit to Straight Gravity Unit.
Speed	Speed of the conveyor belt. This property can be shown in the Calculation Columns.
Length Conveyor 2D Length Elevation Discharge Elevation
BF	Also known as Between Frames. Is the width between the two side frames of the conveyor.

Transfer

Unlike conveyors in Sortation, which is a whole conveyor on itself. Transfers are additional parts or beds that attach to another conveyor, to transfer MTBH.

There are three types of Transfers in Essential Conveyors. Arm, Pop-up, Unit.

Arms

These divert MTBH with a moving arm.
A right-angle arm diverts a MTBH by 90 degrees, pushing the target MTBH onto another conveyor connected perpendicularly:

The other arm is called a swing arm, which diverts MTBH at 30 degrees by default, usually transferring MTBH to another Spur unit:

Pop-up

As the name suggests, these pop up or stay down to divert the course of a MTBH. Since these are located at the bottom of a conveyor, they can only attach below a narrow belt conveyor (Sortation).

The roller pop-up can move transfer MTBH perpendicularly:

Whereas the steerable wheel divert can be used to divert in any angle between 90 to 270

Transfer Unit

Unlike pop-ups which can only be attached below a narrow belt conveyor, Transfer units are a unit of its own. Here we have 90 degree transfer units, and steerable transfer units:
