Types of Scrap Conveyors
Hinged Steel Belt Conveyors are a robust option designed for handling large volumes of heavy scrap material. These conveyors use metal cleats attached to heavy-duty chains to move materials efficiently.
Magnetic Slide Conveyors use a magnetic field to move ferrous materials along the conveyor path, offering a unique solution for removing small to medium-sized ferrous scrap metal effectively.
Apron Conveyors are ideal for handling bulk materials and large volumes of scrap. Their design incorporates metal plates or aprons to carry materials through processing areas or to disposal sites.
Pivot Belt Conveyors have a unique pivoting design that helps prevent jamming and reduces the downtime associated with removing stuck materials. This design is especially useful in handling stringy or difficult-to-move scrap.
