In the pursuit of efficient waste management, selecting the right conveyor system is paramount. As outlined in “SELECTING A CONVEYOR FOR YOUR WASTE FACILITY” on Concrete Construction, conveyors play a vital role in material movement across various industries, including municipal solid waste sites, food processing, paper, pharmaceuticals, and mining.

Conveyors offer versatility, adapting to diverse job sites and material types. They’re categorized into screw conveyors and belt conveyors, each serving distinct purposes. Screw conveyors, dating back to Archimedes’ ingenious design, excel in metered environments, handling materials like sludge and powders. Conversely, belt conveyors, with their open frame design, are adept at handling diverse loads over long distances, making them indispensable in aggregate and mining operations.

Belt conveyors, with their robust construction, are ideal for moving materials ranging from municipal solid waste to recyclables like paper, plastic, aluminum, and ferrous cans. Their ruggedness ensures durability in harsh environments such as transfer stations and recycling plants.
