Midland Handling Equipment - Conveyors & Materials Handling for Every Industry

Waste Conveyors

As the demand for us all to recycle more increases Midland Handling Equipment designs and manufactures waste conveyor systems for waste management companies and local authorities.

The conveyor shown here is designed to carry waste material from a floor level load area up the incline and into a waste compacting machine.

The belt is fixed to steel slats running across the conveyor between 4" pitch 6000lb conveyor chains. Steel flights are bolted to the belt to aid the waste up the incline.

Slat Conveyors

Slat Conveyors are ideal for applications where belt or roller conveyors are not suitable, i.e high temperature ovens, heavy products or dirty and arduous conditions. Slat Conveyors work on a basic simple design, twin stands of conveyor chain run parallel within guides and around sprockets either end. The drive is mounted on one end and the tension device the opposite end.

Slats made of steel (normally galvanised or stainless), hard wood or plastic are bolted between the chains, effectively making a moving 'table' surface. The length of the conveyor and width of the slats is made to suit the product being carried.

The slat conveyor can move at a constant speed or index, again dependant on the requirements. Products can be placed directly on to the slat or jigs can be fixed to the slats to assist assembly on production lines.

Slat conveyors can be level or inclined to move goods between floors
