Scrap Handling Systems
Engineered Scrap Handling Systems for High-Volume Metal Processing
Transcon scrap handling systems are designed for stamping presses, fabrication lines, metal processing operations, and any environment generating large volumes of scrap. Built with our welded hinge steel belt technology, these systems move scrap reliably, safely, and continuously - without jams, hinge failures, or premature belt wear.
Engineered for uninterrupted scrap flow in the toughest industrial environments.
Continuous, Reliable Scrap Removal
Scrap Handling Conveyors for Stamping, Fabrication & Metalworking
Common applications include:
- Scrap removal from stamping presses
- Trim scrap and skeleton handling in metal forming
- Heavy steel offcuts from fabrication lines
- Transport of long, sharp, or irregular scrap
- High-volume scrap movement under press lines
- Transfer to bins, choppers, or downstream systems
Our welded hinge belts and reinforced frames withstand constant impact and abrasion, delivering the uptime required by modern production lines.
Transcon Conveyor
- Welded hinges resist heavy impact
- Thicker belt material available
- Handles sharp, irregular scrap
- Built for multi-shift operation
Leading Competitors
- Pins frequently shear in stamping
- Thin, light-duty steel belts
- Prone to jamming and deformation
- Frequent downtime and repairs
Built for Heavy Impact and Harsh Conditions
Engineered for Steel, Aluminum, and High-Temperature Scrap
Scrap handling is among the most abusive applications for a conveyor system. Transcon designs each scrap system based on the type of scrap, impact load, heat exposure, and duty cycle of your operation.
Available configurations include:
- Straight, incline, or Z-style scrap conveyors
- Under-press in-floor scrap systems
- High-capacity discharge conveyors
- Systems designed for hot or warm scrap
- Enclosed or open-frame designs
- Coolant and oil handling systems for fabrication scrap
- Long-run conveyors to central scrap handling areas
Our heavy-duty belt and frame construction ensure long-term reliability even in severe environments with sharp edges, heavy loads, and repetitive impact.
Increase Uptime with Reliable Scrap Flow
Scrap accumulation under presses or fabrication machines causes downtime, quality issues, and safety concerns. Transcon scrap handling systems eliminate these issues with consistent, high-capacity scrap transport that keeps your operation productive and clean.

Common Questions
Short answers to what engineers and maintenance teams ask us most about this equipment.
What scrap handling solutions are available for stamping operations?
For metal stamping operations, we offer below-ground conveyor systems that collect scrap from multiple press lines, floor-level conveyors for individual presses, under-press in-floor scrap systems, and high-capacity discharge configurations. Our conveyors handle everything from small trim scrap and skeleton material to large heavy offcuts. Enclosed or open-frame designs are available depending on your facility layout and material handling requirements.
Can Transcon conveyors handle recycling and waste materials?
Yes. Our heavy-duty conveyor systems are well-suited for recycling and waste processing operations where equipment must handle varied, abrasive, and often unpredictable materials on a continuous basis. The durability of our welded hinge belt design - rated for up to 600 lbs/ft - makes it ideal for the demanding conditions in recycling facilities where conventional conveyors fail prematurely.
What overload protection is available on Transcon conveyors?
Three approaches, matched to belt pitch. On 2½″ pitch conveyors we use a slip clutch. On 4″, 6″, and 9″ pitch we use a shear pin hub. Electronic overload monitoring is available as an option on any size.
All three do the same job: stop the drive before the belt, sprockets, and reducer absorb the load. A jam then costs a shear pin and a few minutes instead of a gearbox and a shift.
Electronic monitoring is worth adding where a conveyor runs unattended and you want the fault raised to the control system rather than discovered at shift change. Full detail on overload and jamming protection.
