Mechanical conveyors help facilities move material consistently through production, processing, packaging, recycling, and distribution environments. AES provides conveyor equipment for applications involving finished products, manufacturing scrap, bulk materials, recyclables, and other solid materials that need to be transferred, collected, sorted, or delivered to downstream equipment.
Mechanical conveyors help facilities move material consistently through production, processing, packaging, recycling, and distribution environments. AES provides conveyor equipment for applications involving finished products, manufacturing scrap, bulk materials, recyclables, and other solid materials that need to be transferred, collected, sorted, or delivered to downstream equipment.
Conveyor selection starts with how the material needs to move through your facility. Material type, loading point, discharge location, available space, and connected equipment all affect the best configuration. AES offers mechanical conveyor options using belts, chains, rollers, magnets, screens, and augers to support everything from basic transfer work to more specialized sorting, metering, and product movement.
The conveyor types below represent common equipment styles used in manufacturing, recycling, distribution, and material handling operations. Each option serves a different purpose, depending on whether the goal is to move material, separate it, control feed rates, remove ferrous metal, screen debris, or connect one process to another.
Mechanical conveyors are used where materials need to be moved consistently between work areas, processing equipment, sort lines, storage points, or final discharge locations.
Control the flow of material into balers, shredders, separators, compactors, sort lines, or other downstream equipment.
Move recyclables, scrap, containers, fiber, plastics, and mixed materials past operators or automated sorting equipment.
Elevate material between floor levels, equipment heights, hoppers, platforms, or processing stages within the system.
Deliver material directly into balers or compactors to reduce manual handling and improve processing efficiency.
Support custom facility layouts where material must travel between receiving, separation, processing, and discharge areas.
Work with air systems, shredders, separators, dust collection, controls, platforms, and discharge equipment in a complete AES system.

Mechanical conveyors are used to move solid materials, scrap, products, recyclables, or bulk loads from one area of a facility to another. They are commonly used in manufacturing, recycling, packaging, warehousing, and distribution operations.
AES offers several mechanical conveyor styles, including slider bed conveyors, chain belt conveyors, drag chain conveyors, auger conveyors, metering conveyors, sorting conveyors, magnetic conveyors, screening conveyors, transfer conveyors, and product handling conveyors.
The right conveyor depends on the material being moved, the distance it needs to travel, the feed rate, the available space, the discharge point, and what happens to the material after conveying. AES can help match the conveyor style to the application.
Yes. Mechanical conveyors can be configured around your floor layout, material type, equipment connections, loading points, discharge locations, incline requirements, and production workflow.
Mechanical conveyors are often a better fit for heavier materials, bulk handling, product movement, or applications where a belt, chain, roller, or auger is the preferred method of transfer. Pneumatic conveyors are typically used for lighter materials moved through an airstream.
