Our single-stream recycling conveyors deliver exceptional durability, strength, and longevity, year after year.

Single-stream recycling simplifies the recycling process by allowing consumers to place all recyclables into one bin without sorting. 

Single-stream can increase recycling rates, but it creates a larger challenge for recycling facilities, which face additional sorting and processing steps.

1. Single-stream systems grew from 29% to 80% in American communities between 2005 and 2014.
2. Single-stream recycling has been criticized for producing low-quality recycled materials and higher contamination levels, which can impact its potential value

This system relies heavily on sorting technology to separate different materials effectively. Conveyors play a vital role in this process.

As recyclables move through a single-stream recycling facility, conveyors transport materials to sorting stations. 

Manual sorting, air blowers, magnets, and infrared sensors are used to separate paper, plastics, metals, and other materials. Conveyor belts can be equipped with advanced sorting technology, such as optical sorters, to effectively separate different materials, thus improving the quality of the recycling output and enhancing profitability.
