Accepted Answer

Remcon Equipment builds slider-bed conveyors, drag chain conveyors with steel flights (beltless), drag chain conveyors with rubber or PVC belt, roller chain belt conveyors, troughing idler conveyors, baler feed conveyors, sort line and sortation conveyors, sort line feed conveyors, infeed conveyors, transfer conveyors, shuttle conveyors, bulk container conveyors, and chain conveyors for bins and pallets. Approximately 95 percent of production consists of slider-bed, drag-chain belt, and roller-chain belt conveyors plus the structural platforms, catwalks, and stairs that go with them.

Question 3

What industries does Remcon Equipment serve?

Accepted Answer

Remcon Equipment serves materials recovery facilities (MRFs), solid waste and transfer stations, waste-to-energy plants, metal recycling and scrap operations, construction and demolition (C&D) recycling, electronics recycling, glass recycling, mining and aggregates operations, and OEM equipment manufacturers integrating custom conveyors into their machinery.

Question 4

Does Remcon Equipment repair conveyors from other manufacturers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Remcon Equipment repairs and refurbishes conveyors built by any manufacturer, not only Remcon-built equipment. Services include belt replacement (rubber, PVC, steel, chain), structural repair, drive component rebuild, complete refurbishment, and custom-fabricated replacement parts for any brand.

Question 5

Where does Remcon Equipment install conveyor systems?

Accepted Answer

Remcon Equipment installation crews regularly travel throughout the United States and Canada. The company has also completed on-site projects in Sweden and Australia. Installation crews are typically 2 to 4 members per project, which keeps overhead low and allows efficient on-site work at plants that need to keep operating during installation.

Question 6

Does Remcon Equipment build conveyors for OEM equipment manufacturers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Remcon Equipment maintains an OEM-supplier business unit that designs and builds conveyors integrated directly into other manufacturers' machinery. OEM customers include manufacturers of shredders, balers, recycling systems, screening machines, and computerized sorting machines. OEM conveyors feature characteristics not found in catalog equipment: articulated bends, space-saving frames for tight fits, custom adjustable legs, material-flow leveling devices, overflow sensors, and protection against operator errors and damage from forklifts or loaders.

Question 7

How long has Remcon Equipment been in business?

Accepted Answer

Remcon Equipment began building recycling equipment in 1977 as a division of a structural steel fabricator. In 1991 the operation became a separate company, Remcon Equipment, Inc. Since then, the company has produced more than 150 complete recycling systems, each typically containing up to 20 conveyors and related equipment, and built more than 150 high-speed optical sorting conveyors since 1998.

Question 8

Does Remcon Equipment build conveyors for Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MRFs are one of Remcon Equipment's largest market segments. Remcon designs and installs complete MRF conveyor systems including sort line feed conveyors, sortation conveyors engineered for glass breakage and operator fatigue, baler infeeds, transfer conveyors, and the structural platforms and catwalks that tie the system together. Built for single-stream and dual-stream recycling operations.

Question 9

Does Remcon Equipment design optical sorting conveyors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Since 1998, Remcon Equipment has built more than 150 high-speed optical sorting conveyors. These conveyors require precise belt-speed control, tight belt tracking, low-vibration mounting, and material-flow leveling and metering so optical sorters can accurately identify and separate material. Remcon supplies optical sorting conveyors integrated with sorter equipment from major optical sorter manufacturers.

Question 10

Does Remcon Equipment offer emergency conveyor repair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Remcon Equipment provides emergency conveyor repair response for plant breakdowns, including for conveyors built by other manufacturers. Inland Northwest (Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, Western Montana) gets the fastest response time. Longer-haul work is coordinated nationally. Call (509) 244-9439 to dispatch a service crew.

Question 11

What is the difference between slider-bed and drag-chain conveyors?

Accepted Answer

A slider-bed conveyor uses a rubber or PVC belt sliding over steel slats. It is affordable, reliable for light to medium loads, and well-suited to clean or semi-clean material streams. A drag-chain conveyor with steel flights uses chain riding on UHMW tracks with steel cross-angles bolted between chains, with no belt. It is engineered for severe-duty applications where belt failure is unacceptable — mixed waste, sharp scrap, demolition debris, and similar streams. Remcon Equipment also builds drag-chain conveyors with a rubber or PVC belt as a middle option for medium-to-heavy recycling loads.

Question 12

Does Remcon Equipment build live floor bins?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Remcon Equipment builds live floor bins in walking-floor and conveyor-style designs for buffered material storage and metered output. Sized to peak inflow and downstream-process feed rate, with control logic that handles surge and underfeed conditions. Used in recycling, MRF, scrap, and OEM applications.

Question 13

Is Remcon Equipment licensed and certified?

Accepted Answer

Remcon Equipment, Inc. is licensed in Washington State as a General Construction Contractor (license number REMCOEI016CE) and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. NAICS code: 333922 (Conveyor and Conveyor Equipment Manufacturing). The company is privately held.

Question 14

How long does a custom conveyor design and build take?

Accepted Answer

Lead time depends on project complexity, custom features, and current shop load. A standard slider-bed or drag-chain conveyor typically ships in weeks; full turn-key systems with structural steel, multiple conveyors, sorting equipment, and platforms take longer. Call (509) 244-9439 or email sales@remconequipment.com with project specs (throughput, material, footprint, integration needs) for a current lead-time estimate.
