Efficient Empty Corrugate and Trash Removal Systems for High-Volume Distribution Centers.

Clear the floor and improve facility safety by automating the removal of dunnage and empty boxes. Our overhead and incline systems transport waste directly to balers or compactors, keeping your picking aisles free of clutter.

When Waste Isn’t Handled Properly, Safety and Productivity Suffer

Reclaim Labor and Space

In busy DCs, empty boxes pile up quickly, blocking paths and creating trip hazards. Manual collection carts congest the aisles further, slowing down pickers and reducing overall facility throughput.

Prevent Baler Feed Jams

Standard conveyors often struggle with light, oddly shaped trash, leading to bridging or jams at the compactor feed. This forces maintenance staff to climb into dangerous areas to clear blockages.

Where trash conveyor Systems Deliver Results

What industries typically use these systems:

Conveyor Types Often Used in Assembly Line Systems

Slider Bed Belt Conveyors (Trash Spec)

Features high side guards and durable belting to contain loose boxes and plastic wrap.

Incline Conveyors

Cleated belts designed to elevate trash from floor level up to overhead lines or into compactor hoppers.

Overhead Trash Lines

Suspended conveyors that run above picking aisles, saving valuable floor space while transporting waste to the back dock.

Chutes and Hoppers

Custom steel fabrication to guide trash from mezzanine levels onto the takeaway conveyor.

Our Proven Process for Engineering Conveyor Systems

Engineering and Custom Design

We calculate the volume of waste generated to size the belt widths and speeds appropriately to prevent backups.

Manufacturing and Factory Acceptance Testing.

Built with robust guarding and fire-retardant belting options to meet facility safety codes.

On-site Installation and Project Management.

Our teams install overhead supports safely while your facility continues to operate below.
