Konveijorityyppejä refers to different categories or types of conveyors. Conveyors are mechanical handling systems that move materials from one location to another. They are widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and logistics, to automate the transportation of goods and materials.

Broadly, conveyor types can be classified based on their operating principle and the materials they are designed to transport. Belt conveyors are one of the most common types, utilizing a continuous loop of material (the belt) to move items. They are suitable for a wide range of bulk materials and discrete items. Roller conveyors use a series of rollers, either powered or unpowered, to move items. They are often used for lighter loads and in assembly lines or shipping areas. Chain conveyors employ a series of interconnected links or plates that form a continuous chain, often used for heavier items or in harsh environments. Screw conveyors, also known as auger conveyors, use a helical screw rotating within a tube or trough to move materials, particularly powders and granular substances.

Other types include vibrating conveyors, which use vibratory motion to move materials, and overhead conveyors, which suspend items from an overhead track, commonly seen in automotive manufacturing. Bucket elevators are designed for vertical lifting of bulk materials. The specific type of conveyor chosen depends on factors such as the nature of the material being transported, the required volume and speed, the distance of travel, and environmental conditions.
