A conveyor transition refers to the section of a conveyor system where the belt changes its shape or configuration. Typically, this occurs at the terminal points of the conveyor (head or tail pulleys), where the belt shifts from a flat to a troughed profile or vice versa. The transition is a critical part of the conveyor, as it needs to be carefully designed to minimize stress and wear on the belt. The length and design of the transition zone depend on various factors, including belt width, thickness, and material properties.
