A sliding conveyor in waste facilities is a specialized material-handling system that moves waste across a smooth, low-friction surface instead of using rollers or a traditional belt. The waste slides directly on the wear-resistant surface, which is typically made from steel or engineered plastic panels designed to withstand abrasion and heavy loads. This design allows the conveyor to handle mixed, irregular, or sticky waste streams that may cause problems on roller or belt systems. Sliding conveyors are often used for feeding sorting lines, distributing material evenly, or transporting waste in areas where durability and low maintenance are essential. Their simple construction, resistance to clogging, and suitability for continuous operation make them highly effective in demanding waste-processing environments.
