DragSlide Conveyors

Sealed DragSlide Conveyors for Plastic Film, Paper, and Fiber in the Recycling Industry.

Bunting’s sealed DragSlide conveyors are an excellent solution for customers working with plastic film, paper, and fiber in the recycling industry. The DragSlide conveyor was originally designed for the thin mil plastic film industry in order to solve that industry’s problem of static electricity. The DragSlide conveyor also excels at handling other materials that are prone to static charges.

When plastic films and other fiber materials are shredded, the shredding process generates a very high static charge that causes the material to stick to the steel frames of standard conveyor. Bunting’s DragSlide conveyors are totally enclosed and use UHMW drag flights in a chain conveyor design to efficiently move and convey material within a sealed conveyor, eliminating the daily house cleaning conventional belting conveyors require when handling this material. Running static charged plastic on conventional belted conveyors can result in material being carried around and dropping off on the bottom side, resulting in a heap of material on the floor that demands constant cleaning. Using DragSlide conveyors for handling this type of material results in a much cleaner facility, which allows your employees to focus on production rather than unnecessary cleanup and maintenance.

Bunting’s DragSlide conveyors have extensive customization options and are available in various different styles.
