How Conveyor Systems Are Revolutionising Waste Management
The Australian waste management sector is under mounting pressure, with 75.6 million tonnes of waste generated in 2022-23. Conventional handling
OGTEC is a leading provider specialising in the concept design, manufacturing, and installation of Transfer Station equipment and systems tailored to handle all types of waste from small regional areas to large metropolitan cities. OGTEC is committed to providing high-quality, efficient, and reliable solutions for all your Transfer Station needs.
Once collected, the material is transferred via conveyor belts to advanced sorting systems. These may include magnetic separators, air classifiers, screens, or optical sorting units, often configured to recover high-value commodities like metals, cardboard, and plastics. These systems are especially effective in managing co-mingled recycling, where mixed recyclables must be efficiently separated for processing. OGTEC’s tailored systems support higher landfill diversion rates while ensuring compliance with Australia’s strict recycling mandates.
Compacted waste is staged on moving floors, which use hydraulically driven slats to transport material toward transfer trailers. This system enables precise material flow, controlled discharge, and efficient buffer storage. It’s particularly valuable for multi-stream stations where timing and sequencing are critical, including those processing RDF recycling solutions, where consistency in feedstock flow is essential for downstream thermal recovery systems.
Large-scale industrial operations, including food processing, metalworking, or chemical manufacturing, require waste transfer solutions for by-products that may be wet, acidic, or otherwise corrosive. For this sector, OGTEC can deliver trailers with custom liners, sealed doors, and leachate drainage systems to maintain hygiene, prevent spills, and comply with EPA regulations. Transfer trailers streamline internal waste logistics by facilitating long-haul movement from processing plants to licensed disposal or recycling sites, including specialised facilities like tyre recycling plants that deal with dense, rubber-based materials requiring safe, sealed transport.
