Conveying and feeding

Conveying is where a line stalls

The machines get the attention, but the conveying between them decides whether a line keeps running. A belt set too steep lets material roll back. A belt that is too narrow fills up at the first peak, and then the shredder behind it stands waiting for work that is already there.

Belt height, incline and speed

Those three decide most of it. The incline follows from the material: light, smooth material slides back where heavy material stays put, so we lay a belt flatter for film than for wood. We match the speed to the machine behind it rather than the one in front, because a belt running faster than the shredder can take only produces a blockage.

What we put on the belt

An overband magnet at the point where the layer is thinnest takes the iron out before it does damage further along. Where dust is released we put a cover or an extraction point on the transfer, because that is where it starts. And the emergency stop along the feed belongs within reach of where somebody actually stands.

Matched to your hall

We draw the conveying onto the layout you have: where the door is, where the forklift has to pass and how much height is free under the trusses. That is also the moment to decide whether a dosing bunker is worthwhile, because it takes the peaks out of the feed and keeps the shredder at a constant load.
