Chip transport General approach Belt conveyors are normally used to transport chips from the wood room to storage. Depending on the mill layout, the chips sometimes need to be elevated. In these cases, vertical screws are used for distances up to 10 m. For longer distances belt elevators are used. Conveying systems, such as double
