Linda has spent more then

[Bassim]

I am wondering if my sentence is grammatically correct.

Linda has spend more than thirty years working on the conveyor belt in a biscuit factory.

 

[Tarheel]

Bassim, a place where they bake biscuits or cookies or crackers is called a bakery. As, for working on a conveyor belt, that would be the job of the maintenance person, who is tasked with fixing it if it breaks down. Perhaps Linda worked on the production line.

Any factory with a conveyor belt that needs maintenance constantly for thirty years is either going to be bankrupt by now or, at the very least, should have had a better conveyor belt installed many years ago.

Say she has been "working on the production line" at the biscuit factory for 30 years. (If she still works there -- if not, then "spent.")

It is biscuits rather than workers that are on the belt. The workers are standing by the belt.

Thanks - in the US, we'd say "on the line" or "on the production line" or "as a line worker."

Thanks for the pictures, but they don't give me any new information.

Admittedly, I only looked up Nabisco. ( They make Oreo cookies.)

 

[emsr2d2]

Thanks - in the US, we'd say "on the line" or "on the production link" or "as a line worker."

"Link" or "line"?

 

[Barb_D]

Line. Sorry!

Both images show workers inspecting things on a conveyor belt. They aren't working on one [in American English].

people work on a conveyor belt.

It means people produce/repair/improve a conveyor belt according to the following:
