Economic Considerations


the costs incurred in using conveyors can be categorized to:

1. Operating costs

- this includes the maintenance costs, wages of the operators, inspections costs etc.
- the expenses incurred for the operation of the conveyor/s.

2. Capital costs

- this includes the actual investment required on the conveyors, the changes/improvements in the warehouse (to make space for the conveyors) etc.
- the initial cost incurred for the purchase and installment of the conveyor/s.

taken from: Conveyor Belt Technology Volume I/86 (Reihard H. Wohlbier, editor-in-chief)


personal note: although the investment cost incurred in the installment of the conveyor system might be very significant, it provides long term improvements and economical benefits that will justify the need for the conveyor system. this is something that we will elaborate further.
