Waste & Recycling

Waste & Recycling Solutions

May Conveyor offers rugged, efficient conveying solutions tailored to the Waste & Recycling industry. Their heavy-duty products—Steel Hinge Belts, Combination Belts, Conveyor Chains, and Specialty Belting—are engineered to handle harsh waste streams, including metal scrap, chips, sludge, and abrasive materials. Built for durability and sustainability, they ensure efficient, reliable material handling in both new installations and retrofit applications.

Steel Hinge Belts

Robust hinged steel belts are designed for the toughest waste-handling environments:

6″ & 9″ pitch options, with heavy-duty pan thickness (3/16″ or 1/4″)

Customizable wings, cleats, impact pads, reinforced C-channel support

Transporting metal chips, scrap, stampings, die castings, fasteners

Suitable for wet or dry material, horizontal or incline runs

Extreme durability in demanding environments

Configurable for varying sizes, cleats, and reinforcements

Long service life with minimal maintenance thanks to hardened components and robust design

Combination Belts

Lightweight yet strong, these belts bridge steel hinge and standard belt technologies:

May Conveyor Rubber Combination Conveyor Belt

PVC or rubber tops paired with 6″ or 9″ pitch chain

Interlocking wings, bar wings, and C-channel support; adaptable fasteners and modifications

Ideal for retrofits or new systems requiring lighter weight conveyors

Efficiently handles mixed waste streams where full steel belts are overkill

Lower weight reduces energy and component stress

Retrofittable into existing steel-hinge systems with minimal efforts

Customizable cleats and pads for improved material control

Conveyor Chains

Precision-engineered conveyor chains form the backbone of scalable systems:

Journal-bearing rollers, hardened link plates, flanged options

Standard sizes: 6C2, 6E3, 6EW (6″), 9F4, 9FSRB (9″)

Supports chains in scrap handling, sludge, and bulk waste across varied installations

Ideal for interfaces with belts or apron pans

Engineered for longevity under constant heavy load

Durable against rust, abrasion, and allows for easy lubrication

Ensures smooth, consistent operation in demanding conditions

Specialty Engineered Belting

Custom belts designed for extreme environments where standard belts fail:

Materials: stainless steel, aluminum, rubber; pitch 1.25″–12″; custom width/length

Built to resist corrosion, chemicals, heat, abrasion, and moisture

Ideal for chemical waste, hot or corrosive waste streams, or extreme temperature zones

Used in sludge processing, chemical plant waste handling, or chemical-laden scrap

Longer lifespan in aggressive conditions

Tailored to corrosion/chemical resistance and thermal endurance

Precision-engineered to fit tight or complex layouts via custom specs
