The conveyor is a device which is a continuous belt connected between two centres. One of the centre is connected to a motor which rotates and thus allows the moving member to move. Any object now placed on the belt or chain according the designed weight is transported to the next end .
Even the Escalator which you see on big shopping malls is a type of conveyor used for carrying people.
Airports uses this to transport baggages.
Automated bottling plants and packaging industries use this conveyor to transfer the material from one work station to another.
Big conveyors are used to transfer iron ores from mining site to Blast furnace for melting purpose too.
The same name if used to transfer mechanical power then the name gets changed to a VBelt sometimes it could be called as Chain too. There the conveyor is just a power conveyor alone

A conveyor is a device used to transport material from one location to another. The most familiar type is the belt conveyor, but the screw auger also qualifies as a conveyor. Yet other conveyors utilize a discreet container, hook, or clamp of some sort to move material in units or small batches.

A conveyor is often, but not always, a continuous belt that is used to move items from one place to another. It can move vertically; it can move items from one height to another; it can flip items onto their sides and back up again. Conveyors can be used to sort items, collect items, or divide items.
Conveyors are commonly used in manufacturing industries to efficiently move items along the production line. Conveyors have many other uses in many other industries such as food preparation, printing, beverage packaging, and baking.

The answer provided by babu n is quite satisfactory. I just want to add that a conveyor is a endless belt that transfers material from one place to other. There are various electrical controls for a conveyor.
