For more than 30 years, The ACT Group has designed custom conveyor belt systems, small to large, for many industries. Recycling and solid waste plants benefit greatly from conveyor belting and sorting systems. Trucks dump large loads of recyclables, which are sorted into hoppers. The hoppers then feed items to conveyors for processing. Just one broken idler or a slack belt slows production, and that costs you time and money.
Our experts design and install all types of belt systems. The two most common for recycling are feed belting and elevating belt systems. Feed conveyors push bulky items into balers and shredders. Elevating conveyors, on the other hand, move smaller materials into bins for further processing. We stand by our work and provide remote support for any downtime. Just reach out to your regional representative.
Unloading and sorting creates airborne particles and sand-like plumes. These pose a real risk to idlers and other moving parts. Over time, particle buildup lodges between rollers and idlers until they cannot turn, which holds up processing. An effective fix is a containment system right at the unloading zone. Depending on your needs, that may mean misting to carry particles to the ground, or heavy-duty vacuums.
Enclosed sorting lines also benefit from industrial ventilation, which keeps air quality within safe limits for your sorters.
