Heavy Duty conveyors for the Waste and Recycling Industries

Waste sortation is becoming a growth industry, with governments under ever-rising pressure to reduce usage of landfill by diverting as much waste as possible into recycling plants. This is due to both declining landfill capacity and European regulation. At the same time the HSE are increasingly looking at workplace ergonomics and issues of back-related workplace injuries.

Efficient, properly designed Materials Handling Systems are at the core of the solution to both problems, allowing rapid transfer of waste from loading bays to automated sortation machines (or human sortation lines), and thence to output accumulators/balers etc.




Central Conveyors has a philosophy of working closely with our customers to ensure that the resulting product – whether a simple small conveyor or a large integrated system – meets their business needs and provides excellent value for money.

We are happy to work with your engineers or contractors to link new conveyors to your present equipment; allowing existing bailers, shredders or conveyors to control them and to form a single end-to-end functional system.

Our chain-driven heavy-duty conveyors are extremely robust, and readily able to handle intensive round-the-clock operation with the absolute minimum of maintenance. Our supportive and helpful team of designers and engineers take pride in working with our customers to develop innovative, reliable and cost-effective solutions
