Steel Belt Conveyor Systems

Steel Belt Conveyor Systems

Overview & Applications

The Steel Belt Conveyor Systems from Mark-Costello are engineered for heavy-duty performance in high-volume material handling environments. Designed to tackle the demands of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Construction & Demolition debris (C&D), and mixed-waste processing, these conveyors deliver material throughput ranging from 12 to 50 tons per hour (tph). Whether used as feed systems for TS-2000 Transfer System compactors, Two-Ram scrap balers, or other transfer and pre-crusher systems, these conveyors offer unmatched durability and reliability.

There are two primary classes:

SA Class – Heavy-Duty Steel Apron Belt Conveyors: Utilizing a thicker, robust 3/8″ or 1/2″ pan belt with shallow double-beaded pans, SA conveyors are optimized for extreme service conditions. Measuring up to 8 feet in width, they perform especially well under high-impact loading, such as feeding MSW or highly abrasive materials. SA systems operate with capacities between 20 to 50 tph.

SE Class – Economy Steelbelt Conveyors: A competitively priced alternative to piano-hinged belts, the SE class handles a slightly lower capacity—12 to 30 tph—but remains highly effective for high-volume applications. They accommodate widths up to 7 feet, providing efficient operation in pre-crusher feeds, scrap baling, and mixed-waste operations.
Both conveyor classes are engineered to maintain high-volume material performance in challenging environments, maintaining stability and efficiency even under high-impact loads and abrasive material wear. These conveyors excel as critical infrastructure in waste management and recycling processing facilities.
