If you transport material by truck/plane/boat, it is "cargo".

Is there a word that describes material that is being transported by machinery in an industrial setting, like in a pipeline / on a conveyor belt / in a bin or bucket? ("load"? "material"?)

  • I can't think of a generic term for this.

I skimmed an article, "Understanding Conveyor Systems." It uses the following terms:

material(s)

product(s)

  • But far too ballpark for a decent answer on a site aimed at linguists.

  • @EdwinAshworth - this is technical language and I imagine OP would get better results from a group of engineers.

"Pipeline transport" can be used but specifically only for transporting a liquid/gas via pipes.

Being more generic, I would suggest "load" or "goods".
