Waste recycling is one of the vital issues of our time. With pressure on availability of landfill sites, heightened environmental awareness at all tiers of government, and increased attention (and legislation) from both Westminster and Brussels, the need for efficient waste sortation and recycling has never been greater.

Conveyors form a critical component of any MRF (Materials Recovery Facility), facilitating the movement of waste from a loading dock, to a sortation line (human, mechanical, or a hybrid), and on into crushing and bailing machines.

Central Conveyors are able to design, fabricate and install the sort of robust, heavy-duty conveyors essential for these operations. In addition we can provide working platforms and tables, magnetic overband or eddy-current separator machines, trammels, and provide end-to-end integration with existing equipment.

We are also able to assist you to adapt or modify/extend your existing equipment, as well as undertake routine maintenance, helping you to maximise the working life (and hence return-on-investment) of your equipment.

Autmation and controls:
Whether it’s a simple start/stop button, safety and emergency stop controls, or a complex automation/robotics system, our electricians and PLC programmers are able to ensure that your MRF or conveyor system does what you want, when you want it. We are equally happy to work with your own in-house team to integrate our conveyors with any other equipment in the ‘chain’, and help ensure the overall success of a project.
