Our conveyor manufacturing process

Our paper recycling conveyors are designed and manufactured in the USA to CEMA standards and tolerances.

• Goodyear, Flexco belt options resistant to rips, tears, and impacts
• Baldor, Leeson, Toshiba TEFC motors selected for 24/7 operation
• 3/16" and 1/4" thick structural steel frames to prevent flexing
• 25-35 pound rail track to withstand heavy loads
• ASTM A36 steel for fabrication per structural code
• Premium bearings sized for L10 life ratings, made in USA
• Dodge, Nord, SEW drives matched to application torque
• Formed using heavy duty steel plate, rectangular tubing, and structural channel
• Precision components such as cold-rolled steel shafts and flame-hardened sprockets
• All hardware is grade 8 for maximum strength
• Painted with industrial grade powder coating for durability
• All systems fabricated by certified welders for structural integrity
• Designed for simple maintenance access and component serviceability
• Extensively tested and inspected prior to shipment

Our paper recycling conveyors deliver exceptional durability, strength, and longevity, year after year.

The paper recycling industry—and the broader fiber recycling industry—reduces the demand for virgin resources, conserves energy, and mitigates climate change impacts. Its success depends on efficient recycling processes, market dynamics, and supportive policies.

1. The U.S. paper recycling rate in 2021 was 68%, and the recycling rate for old corrugated containers (cardboard boxes) was 91.4%.
2. On average, 58% of paper waste is recycled worldwide. In some of the more developed countries, recycling of waste paper has even increased to 70% to 75% of the total amount of waste paper in that country.
3. Recycling one ton of paper can save enough energy to power the average American home for six months, save 7,000 gallons of water, save 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one metric ton of carbon equivalent (MTCE).
4. The global waste paper recycling market size was valued at USD 48,582.81 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.34% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2030.
5. Using 100% recycled copy paper instead of 100% virgin fiber paper saves 100% of the trees, 31% of the energy, 53% of the water, and produces 39% less solid waste.
6. Every time paper is recycled, the fibers in the paper shorten slightly. An efficient recycling process can ensure that these fibers are treated gently and kept intact as much as possible. If done well, the same paper product can be recycled multiple times

Our conveyor systems meet the specific needs of paper recycling facilities and increase operational efficiency. We’re working toward a sustainable future, just like you.
