Slat Conveyors
Wirtech AG provides established knowledge of the sector and assistance in the optimization of your processes. We represent competent service, also in an emergency. A 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 plate conveyor from Wirtech
We know from experience what you expect from us:
- Application of the plate conveyor under toughest
conditions
- Reliable provision of spare parts for decades
- Plate conveyor must demonstrate a very long service
life
- No opening of the plates at the deflector
- Short pitch and, therefore, low polygon effect

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

The 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 plate conveyor 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 dampen the blows.
In many applications, the 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 plate conveyor can be coordinated with the machine downstream.
Further examples of use
- Paper and carton industry: 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 hopper and transportation of slag.
