Waste Cardboard Conveyors

Streamlining the movement of waste material in warehouse operations

Waste cardboard conveyors, also known as dunnage conveyors, are specialised conveyor systems designed to transport waste cardboard from a process area to a disposal or recycling area within a warehouse or factory. These systems play a crucial role in managing waste efficiently, especially in facilities where processes such as decanting, repacking (value-added services), and inbound receiving are routine. As these processes generate significant amounts of waste cardboard due to the repackaging of goods, managing this waste becomes a critical operational concern.

In a typical warehouse environment, the volume of goods handled can vary greatly. For operations with lower volumes, manual handling and processing of waste material might be manageable. However, as the volume increases, this method becomes inefficient and time-consuming, leading to potential delays and increased labour costs. In such scenarios, investing in a dedicated waste cardboard conveyor system is not just an option but a necessity for maintaining smooth operations and ensuring a clean work environment.

The primary function of these conveyor systems is to streamline the movement of waste cardboard to a baling machine. Baling machines are essential for compacting the cardboard, making it easier to handle, transport, and process by recycling companies. Without a conveyor system, transporting this waste to the baling machine can consume a significant amount of time and physical effort, particularly in high-volume operations. This not only affects the efficiency of the workflow but also poses potential health risks to workers due to repeated heavy lifting and carrying.

By integrating a waste cardboard conveyor system, warehouses can significantly reduce the manual labour involved in waste management. Operators who generate waste cardboard can directly dispose of it onto the conveyor, which then efficiently transports it to the baling machine. This not only speeds up the process but also minimises the risk of workplace injuries associated with manual handling. Moreover, it allows workers to focus on more productive tasks, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Key Features

  • Robust and durable construction – designed specifically for demanding warehouse environments
  • Hard wearing conveyor belt material – ideal for the handling of abrasive cardboard material
  • Extra high side guides – to keep waste cardboard material contained on the conveyor during transport
  • Side guide cut-out sections – to allow easy throw-on of material at the operator positions
  • Full width belt and integrated sides – providing full width conveying surface and prevention of waste material from getting under the belt
  • Waterfall transition points – where conveyor systems need to change direction, waterfall transitions are used
  • Integration to 3rd party systems – integration to 3rd party systems such as balers and conveyor systems if required
  • Optional extra features available – additional features can be added to the system if required, such as, safety netting to provide additional object fall protection, jam detection at waterfall transition points, and operator pullcord safety stops inside the conveyor
