Steel plate conveyor
Wirtech AG provides profound knowledge of the sector and assistance in the optimisation of your processes. We represent competent service, also in an emergency. A steel plate conveyor is used under the toughest of conditions, for example in the scrap and recycling industry or in quarries, for discharging, transportation and dosing.
Benefits of a steel plate conveyor from Wirtech
We know from experience what you expect from us:
- Application of the steel plate conveyor under
toughest conditions
- Reliable provision of spare parts for decades
- Steel plate conveyors must demonstrate a very long
service life
- No opening of the steel plates at the deflector
- Short pitch and, therefore, low polygon effect
- Robust construction with high slat flexural strength
- Low service costs

Application options of steel plate conveyor
Steel plate conveyor for the horizontal conveyance of bulk material and unit load
Steel plate conveyor for the conveyance of products with an arbitrary ascent angle, bend upwards and horizontal discharge
Steel plate conveyor for feeding two destinations using deflection of the direction of travel of the conveyor (reversing)
Steel plate conveyor for ascending conveyance at an arbitrary angle
Steel plate conveyor for horizontal feeding with a bend downwards and subsequent ascending conveyance at an arbitrary angle
Steel plate conveyor for horizontal feeding with a bend downwards and upwards for horizontal discharge
Important: These types of steel plate conveyors are also available as swivel conveyors. Through the swivelling motion using a turntable, different discharge positions can be approached and fed.

Steel plate conveyor dimensions in mm
The steel plate conveyor is exposed to extreme loading: Boulders weighing many tons are discharged into the feed hopper by a loader, compressed scrap vehicles and heavy metal parts are loaded onto the steel slats using crane claws and must be conveyed. On especially heavily loaded positions, such as e.g. in the discharge areas, so-called impact rails are used that help to absorb the blows.
In many applications, the steel plate conveyor is used for feeding crushers (rock and stone) or shears and shredders (metal recycling); thereby, a constant flow must be ensured. Using frequency-controlled drives, the conveyance speed of the steel plate conveyor can be coordinated with the machine downstream.
Further examples of use
- Paper and carton industry: Steel plate conveyors are used for the transportation of complete tree trunks, cellulose packages weighing tons and for discharging waste paper from storage hoppers.
- Refuse Incineration Plants (RIP): Discharge from storage hoppers and transportation of slag.
