SORT → RECOVER → RECYCLE

Recycling and waste processing facilities place some of the most extreme demands on conveyor systems. Plant conveyors must continually handle a chaotic mix of materials—including sharp metals, glass, hard plastics, and jagged objects that can pierce, cut, and gouge standard belts in seconds. Furthermore, household and industrial waste often contains mineral oils, greases, solvents, and combustible elements that cause rubber swelling, ply separation, and fire hazards. At Mahajan Conveyors, we manufacture multi-hazard-resistant, super-tough rubber conveyor belts specifically engineered to withstand the punishing realities of modern recycling plants and sorting stations.

Multi-hazard performance for waste handling

Our specialized recycling belts are engineered to provide maximum resilience against everyday plant hazards.

High cut & puncture resistance

Dense fabric plies and tough rubber covers absorb severe impact from sharp, heavy objects and prevent tearing.

Oil & chemical resistance (Nitrile compounds)

Prevents rubber swelling, softening, and structural decay caused by exposure to oils, lubricants, and household chemical residues.

Steep-incline waste conveyance

Compatible with Chevron, Wavy Top, and Rough Top profiles for efficient upward transport of loose waste materials and packaging scrap.

Fire-retardant safety (FR grades)

Self-extinguishing rubber formulations designed to mitigate fire risks caused by combustible waste materials.

Low maintenance design

Built to ensure extended service life, reduced repair interventions, and minimal operational downtime.

Recommended cover grades & specifications

We recommend specialized cover grades tailored to the specific sorting and processing stages of waste management.

Grade Application
MCI N-17 / DIN Y
General Purpose & Abrasion Resistant
Best for sorting lines, dry municipal waste conveyance, paper/cardboard sorting, plastic scrap, and general material handling. Offers high resistance to everyday surface wear and impact.
MCI MOR / OR
Moderate to High Oil Resistant
Best for automotive recycling, oily metal scrap, municipal waste mixed with greases/oils, and organic waste processing. Prevents belt swelling and stretching.
MCI Grade FR
Fire-Retardant Compounds
Best for enclosed sorting facilities, shredder feed lines, and fire-sensitive waste recycling circuits.
