Recycling

What problems does this industry face?

The Recycling Industry is marked by its diverse array of materials, from plastics and paper to metals and glass. Handling these diverse materials efficiently and sustainably presents a complex set of challenges. Conveyor belts in this industry need to withstand harsh conditions as abrasion, impact, temperature variations, and exposure to chemicals while maintaining optimal sanitation properties. Furthermore, the belts should be compatible with metal detectors, NIR scanners, and X-rays to enhance sorting accuracy. Meeting these multifaceted challenges with reliable conveyor solutions is a priority for BMA Belting.

How does this affect operations?

Recycling and waste facilities encounter a myriad of demanding materials that can cut, gouge, and pierce conveyor belts, leading to significant damage. Chemicals found in household waste, along with abrasive substances, further degrade the belts. The industry also demands fire-resistant properties due to the combustible nature of waste. In this complex landscape, conveyor belts play a pivotal role in facilitating the movement, sorting, and processing of various materials, contributing to the overall efficiency of recycling operations.
