1、 Reduce the dust, noise, and exhaust emissions generated by various conveyors during operation.

2、 Make the structure of the conveyor meet the requirements of automated control for single machines in material handling systems. The automatic parcel sorting trolley conveyor used by post offices should be able to meet the requirements of sorting actions, etc.

3、 Expand the scope of use of conveyors. Develop conveyors that can operate in environments with high and low temperatures, corrosive, radioactive, and flammable substances, as well as transport hot, agglomerated, explosive, and viscous materials.

4、 Towards large-scale development. Massification includes several aspects such as large conveying capacity, large single machine length, and large conveying inclination angle. The length of the hydraulic conveying device has exceeded 440 kilometers. The single machine length of the belt conveyor has reached nearly 15 kilometers, and there have been several "belt conveyors" connecting the two places. Many are exploring more sophisticated conveyor structures for long-distance, high-capacity continuous material transportation.

5、 Reducing energy consumption to save energy has become an important aspect of research in the field of transportation technology. The energy consumption for transporting 1 ton of material for 1 kilometer has been taken as one of the important indicators for selecting a conveyor.
