Izithuthi zamabhande, ezaziwa nangokuthi ama-belt conveyors, zisetshenziswa kakhulu embonini yokudla yanamuhla. I-conveyor yebhande ingakhethwa ngokuvumelana nezidingo zenqubo, njengokusebenza okuqhubekayo okuqhubekayo, ukusebenza okuqhubekayo kwesigqi, ukusebenza kwejubane eliguquguqukayo nezinye izindlela zokulawula; i-conveyor yebhande kufanele futhi ikhethwe ngokuvumelana nezimo zendawo. Njengoba ibhande elihambisa ibhande lidlala indima yesikhashana ezimbonini ezihlukahlukene, liphinde libe yimishini ewusizo ebaluleke kakhulu kumthumeli webhande. Ngakho-ke, indlela yokukhetha kahle i-conveyor yebhande nayo ibalulekile ebhizinisini lokukhiqiza.
Uma sikhetha i-conveyor yebhande, kufanele siqale sinqume izici eziningi ezifana nempahla yebhande lokuthutha, imingcele yezobuchwepheshe ye-bandwidth, njll ngokusho kwemboni lapho isetshenziswa khona. Isibonelo, ibhande lenjoloba lifanele izinga lokushisa lendawo yokusebenza phakathi kwama-degrees angu-15 no-40, futhi izinga lokushisa lempahla alidluli ama-50 degrees. Amabhande epulasitiki anezinzuzo zokungazweli ku-oyela, i-asidi ne-alkali, kodwa angakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimo zezulu, futhi kulula ukushelela nokuguga. Okwesibili, sidinga ukukhetha ngendlela efanele isivinini sebhande lesithumeli sebhande. Ku-conveyor ende evundlile, isivinini sebhande esiphezulu kufanele sikhethwe; ukuthambekela okukhulu kwe-conveyor, lifushane ibanga lokudlulisa le-fuselage, ijubane eliphansi lebhande lokuthutha.
