REDWAVE conveyor belts

for the recycling industry

In addition to our sorting machines, we offer conveyor belt solutions. These solutions are adapted to the different materials. There are three different types of conveyor belts to choose from. Troughed belt conveyors, sliding belt conveyors and chain belt conveyors can be integrated into your system as required.

 

Troughed belt conveyor

REDWAVE troughed belt conveyors (MGF) are normally used to transport household waste, materials similar to household waste, commercial waste, glass or organic waste. The belt body consists of a dimensionally stable sheet metal construction. In order to be prepared for possible retrofitting of accessories at a later point, the necessary holes are already provided in the belt body. The complete hinge body is manufactured in segment construction. The specific length is realised by appropriate fitted joints. Basically the troughed belt conveyor is operated by a rolling supporting structure of the upper belt. The safety equipment is designed to facilitate maintenance work so that it can be removed quickly and easily for cleaning and service purposes. One example of this is the removable bottom belt cover, which can be manufactured in galvanised sheet steel.


Chutes, funnels, and supports of the conveyor are designed according to the relevant requirements.

Due to the very compact construction, this type of conveyor belt can be used optimally where space is limited.

Sliding belt conveyor

REDWAVE sliding belt conveyors (GGF) are normally used to convey light materials. Examples of this are various plastics in LVP sorting systems, paper, and cardboard. Most of the time it is especially important to have an even material distribution in such systems. In terms of construction, the conveyor belt consists of a torsional rigid sheet metal construction with screwed in cross sections. The belt running surface can also be screwed on and may be made of other materials, e.g. stainless steel. The removal of the top belt is done by sliding it off; the underside of the conveyor belt is made as a polyester fabric. The conveyor belt can also be designed with T-studs on inclinations > 20°. It is also suitable as a moveable and reversible conveyor.

Chain belt conveyor

REDWAVE chain belt conveyors (KGF) are normally used for the transport of a wide variety of materials to feed into a waste treatment plant or to a baler. Since material is usually loaded by wheel loaders, the chain belt conveyors are embedded in the hall floor for feeding material at ground level. It is also frequently used as a discharge belt automatically fed by bunker conveyor belts in sorting plants. The robust chain belt conveyors are characterised by high reliability and a long service life. The conveyor belt frame is made of steel profiles with screwed-in cross profiles. In combination with the rest of the sheet steel structure, this creates a very stable and torsion-resistant overall construction. The cladding panels are screwed to the belt frame, which enables quick and uncomplicated maintenance service. Because the chain conveyor is manufactured in a modular construction, it can be extended or shortened without much effort. A solid pin conveyor chain of type FV112 is used as the conveyor chain. Lubrication is carried out as standard by automatic drip oilers, which switch off automatically when the chain belt conveyor stops.
