Introduction
The UK’s shift toward a **circular economy** is driving innovation in material handling. Recycling plants need conveyor systems that are not only tough and reliable but also energy-efficient and designed for waste diversity. Hoverdale is helping UK industries meet this challenge with specialised **recycling conveyors**, **wear-resistant parts**, and **vulcanising services** that reduce waste and improve performance.
Challenges in Recycling Conveyor Systems
Handling abrasive, wet, and inconsistent materials is hard on belts and components. Without the right setup, recycling facilities suffer from high wear rates, spillage, and frequent maintenance.
