Fluent Conveyors makes fully customized sort systems for recycling facilities with requirements that fall outside standard configurations.

We customize every sort system to your parameters for maximum uptime, throughput efficiency, and integration with your existing line.

Every custom system builds on Fluent's recycling sort stations platform, integrating roller chain, slider bed, and idler conveyors as the material stream requires.
Every custom sort station is engineered around your operation, delivering the performance your application demands.

Recycling and waste management: MSW, plastics, e-waste, scrap metal, and construction
4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-person sort lines plus fully custom multi-line layouts
Width and length customized to your facility; incline customized to application (60-degree tumble-back available)
5–25 HP Nord drives; gearbox, motor, and electrical spec options
Rubber combo, hinged steel, apron pan, z-pan
Guarding, e-stops, dead man plates; VFDs, PLC integration; up to 480/600VAC
We combine advanced engineering and high-quality materials to build each sort system for durability and long-term performance.

Every system is built from heavy structural steel: 3/16-inch rectangular tubing, 1/4-inch formed pan sidewalls, 1/4-inch supports, and 25#–30# rail track for chain support. Frames use Grade 8 hardware and are MIG-welded, sandblasted, and coated for corrosion resistance.

Hardware
Our sort systems are designed, engineered, and manufactured to outperform the recognized standards for conveyor safety, performance, and reliability.
National safety standard for conveyors and related equipment.
Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association standards for alignment tolerances, belt ratings, bearing selection, guarding, and installation.
International standards for conveyor belts, safety, and quality management.
Workplace safety requirements for guarding, lockout/tagout, and operation.

We design and build custom control systems for your sort line, including start/stop sequencing, e-stop integration, and interlocks with upstream and downstream equipment. Each control panel houses the electrical components, operator interfaces, and safety circuitry needed to run the station, while the control system programming handles the logic.
Fluent engineers custom conveyor sorting systems with advanced sensors, screens, magnets, and optical sorters to simplify material separation. The conveyor infrastructure integrates with whatever processing equipment your operation requires.


We supply roller chain belts in standard widths from 36 to 120 inches, matched to material weight, temperature, and abrasion.
Rubber combo belts with steel crossbars for durability and strength, in 220-ply and 330-ply options.
Best for bulk recyclables and trash, wet organic waste, and mixed materials.
We also supply z-pan roller chain belts and apron pan belts, plus industrial belts for abrasion, heat, fire, oil, chemical, and anti-static requirements.
Fluent supplies replacement parts and wear components to keep your sort station running at peak performance. Contact us with your conveyor's model number, and we'll supply the parts to get you back up and moving.

Flame-cut and hardened replacement sprockets for roller chain and D4 bases, machined to OEM specs.

Fluent designs and manufactures standard and custom sort stations sized to your operation, with chain, belt, drive, and automation options matched to your material stream. See more conveyors for recycling or contact our team to start a build.
