feeder vs. conveyor

[Andrew1980]

Hi,

I would like to clarify the difference between feeder and conveyor belt in industrial context (capping machine). Are these terms synonyms or there is a difference between them?

For example here:
Automatic feeder / capping machine - Aidlin 24CR - GEBO CERMEX it looks very similar to conveyor

Thank you

Ok, my attempt: a feeder feeds something – in this case, bottle caps to a capping machine that presses them onto bottles; while a conveyor simply transports things from one place to another (the bottles might move under the capping machine, for example, on a conveyor).
