The inclined belt conveyor is commonly used in plastics recycling lines, used to transport materials from a low to a high level, connecting different equipment for automated operation. It plays an important role in the plastics recycling process, efficiently transporting plastic waste materials such as bottles, films, plastic sheets, etc.

Application In Plastic Recycling

Conveyance of Recycled Material to Machine

Plastic waste (e.g. plastic bottles, films) can be easily conveyed to the inlet of a shredder or other equipment, ensuring a continuous input of material and providing stable support for the production process.

Automated Transport Between Machines

In the plastics recycling process, the conveyor is often used to connect different pieces of equipment, for example, to transport dried material to the pelletizer inlet. This type of automated conveying not only improves productivity but also reduces the amount of time wasted by human intervention between machines.

Handling of Different Materials

Conveyors can accommodate many types of plastic waste, including plastic bottles, plastic film, crushed plastic flakes, and more.

Features of The Recycling Belt Conveyor

  • Inclined design: The conveyor belt is inclined at a certain angle, which can easily transport the materials to a higher position and realize the continuous transmission of upper and lower materials.
  • Customized design: The length, width, and angle of inclination of the inclined belt conveyor can be customized according to the customer’s recycling site and material characteristics, to flexibly meet different needs.
  • Strong flexibility: the most suitable conveying device can be configured according to the characteristics of different materials.

Screw Conveyor

Screw conveyors are mostly used in PET bottle washing lines to convey plastic chips after crushing or washing, transferring them from one machine to the next. Its enclosed design prevents material leakage, ensuring a clean production environment and material integrity.

Iron removal device of inclined belt conveyor

Feeding conveyor belts equipped with an iron removal device are typically used to convey plastic film to the granulator. The iron removal device can effectively remove metal impurities in the material to avoid damage to the pelletizing machine screw.

This design not only prolongs the service life of the equipment but also ensures the continuity and stability of production, as the granulator screw is expensive and time-consuming to replace, which can have a significant impact on production efficiency.
