Whillst Central Conveyors do not have "stock"conveyors per se, some conveyor designs have become so popular that they have almost become a 'standard' to our fabrication engineers.

The rubble/sand conveyors are a case in point. These are designed to be simple, flexible, light, but as robust as possible. Typical uses have included:

  • Feeding sand and/or cement into a cement mixer.
  • Transporting bricks and other structural materials from the storage/dump area to the working area on a building site
  • Rubble clearance, particularly in confined spaces (such as basements etc)

The original conveyors where designed to be lighweight, allowing them to be easily repositioned as and when required. In addition to carrying handles, they also featured "scaffold holes", allowing the conveyors to be scaffold-mounted, and hence positioned almost anywhere, and at any angle. (though the standard model won't work at angles significantly beyond 30 degrees).

We have supplied them in 3m, 5m, 7m and 10m lengths, though virtually any length can be manufactured. Usually customers favour the smaller lengths, rather than 'one big conveyor', as this makes for a more flexible arrangement. The smaller conveyors can be daisy-chained together to form longer lengths, including turning corners and going over hills or ditches. But they can also be split into smaller 'packets' to allow several jobs to be carried out simultanously.

A requirement for a heavier-grade (in both senses of the term) conveyor began to emerge. This unit (the yellow conveyor in the pictures to the left) was originally specified for taking rubble and wet clay from the basement of a building as part of a renovation project.

This simple, but effective, application suite is becoming increasingly popular with the small-medium scale building industry


Not all of our building site conveyors are scaffold-mounted. The unit shown to the left was designed as a static feeder conveyor, loading sand and/or cement into a hopper. (the unit shown was undergoing final calibration in our factory).
