The origins of conveyor belts can be traced back to the late 18th century. In 1795, the first conveyor belt was created for use in a flour mill. However, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that conveyor belts gained widespread popularity, especially in automotive assembly lines. Henry Ford famously incorporated them into his production processes, which significantly reduced the time it took to manufacture vehicles. This innovation not only revolutionized the automotive industry but also set a precedent for other sectors to adopt conveyor systems as a standard practice.

Like any other component of a vehicle, the fan belt is subject to wear and tear. Over time, exposure to heat, friction, and environmental factors can cause the belt to crack, fray, or stretch. Neglecting to monitor the condition of the fan belt can lead to severe engine problems. A failed fan belt can result in overheating due to the water pump not functioning, a dead battery because the alternator is not charging, or even a loss of power steering. Therefore, regular inspections and timely replacements of the fan belt are crucial to avoid costly repairs in the long run.
