REDWAVE conveying technology for the recycling industry

REDWAVE has expanded its product portfolio of sensor-based sorting technology to include conveyor belts optimised for use in the recycling sector.

Improvements have been made to the chute connection for feeding onto the sorting machine and also the ease of accessibility, which plays a major role during cleaning and maintenance work, because contamination and blockages are not uncommon in a recycling plant.

For example, removable sheet metal cladding and swivelling floor panels make cleaning easier and minimise the amount of maintenance required. External lubrication points also improve accessibility enormously and offer time savings. Although the conveyor belts are quick and easy to clean and maintain, they naturally comply with the product-specific applicable European directives and are 100% CE compliant.

Another point in the sorting process that should not be underestimated is the issue of dust formation. For this reason, special solutions have been developed by REDWAVE for the belt seals (covers and gutter seals), which are adapted to the respective material that is sorted in the recycling plant.

The conveyor belts themselves are currently installed in REDWAVE systems as troughed belt conveyor, sliding belt conveyor and chain belt conveyor.

A highlight of these conveyors is their modular design. This allows a simple modification of the conveyor belt length afterwards, but also additional equipment (sensors, weighing system, scraper) can be retrofitted easily.

A networked integration of the conveyor belts into the entire sorting system is designed to further improve or optimise the sorting process. This integration takes place through the integration of REDWAVE mate, the intelligent artificial support in the recycling plant.
