Recycling Conveyors, Tippers & Sorting Systems

Automated Sorting and Conveyor Systems Built for Heavy-Duty Material Handling

REI’s industrial sorting, conveyor, and tipping systems are designed to keep your recycling operation running smoothly from collection to compaction. Built for heavy-duty use, these systems move, separate, and prepare recyclables and waste with precision and reliability. Whether you need a single conveyor feeding a baler, a flexible, bi-directional conveyor for serving more than one system, or a complete automated sorting line, each REI installation is custom-engineered to fit your facility layout, material mix, and production goals, resulting in a cleaner work area, faster throughput and reduced labor requirements.

Recycling Conveyor Systems

REI conveyors are built to handle the toughest recycling environments. Whether you’re conveying light trim waste or heavy scrap, our chain-belt, slider-bed, and incline conveyors provide consistent material flow and long-term reliability. Every conveyor system is engineered for continuous operation with heavy-gauge steel construction, reinforced belting, and easy maintenance access.

Sorting Conveyor Systems to Streamline Recycling Operations

REI recycling sorting systems help maximize material recovery and purity by separating mixed recyclables into distinct, high-value streams. From manual sorting stations to automated separation systems, we design layouts that improve workflow and reduce contamination. Each system can include magnetic separation, optical sensors, or air-classification technology depending on your material type and volume.

Cart Tippers & Dumpers

REI tippers and cart dumpers automate the first step in the recycling process, loading material into your system safely and efficiently. Designed to lift and empty carts, bins, or containers into conveyors, balers, or sorting hoppers, these units eliminate manual lifting, reduce injury risk, and maintain consistent feed rates. Each tipper is built to your specifications, available in floor-mounted, dock-height, or portable configurations for seamless integration into any facility.

Proven Performance Across All Industries and Applications

REI’s mechanical conveyors, sorting, and tipping systems are engineered to handle a wide range of recyclable and waste materials with precision and reliability. From corrugated cardboard, mixed paper, and shredded office waste to plastics, packaging film, metals, and light manufacturing scrap, our equipment is designed to move and process materials safely and efficiently. Whether transferring trim waste from production lines, feeding balers with bulk recyclables, or loading containers for transport, these systems deliver consistent performance across the most demanding recycling and industrial applications.
