Fluent's extreme heavy-duty (X-HD) roller chain conveyors handle the most severe recycling, shredding, and industrial duty cycles.
Rugged structural steel construction with precision tolerances for extreme-duty loads
9-inch pitch chain and 5-inch rollers engineered for heavy impact and abrasion
Designed and built in the USA for quality and fast turnaround
Heavier channels, 5-inch rollers, and thicker framing for maximum durability
For less demanding applications, see our heavy-duty and medium-duty roller chain conveyors. For car shredder infeed operations, we can configure them with a D4 Caterpillar track. See our D4 car shredder infeed conveyors.
Extreme heavy-duty roller chain conveyors built for high-load applications and demanding material handling.
Car shredder infeed, scrap, wash plants, baler infeed, material recovery, sorting, feeding, metering
Standard widths from 48–108 inches; custom widths available
Standard 10–30 foot lower horizontal lengths; custom lengths available
Standard incline angles range from 25–35 degrees; custom angles available, including 60-degree tumble-back configurations
From 9,000–25,000 lbs chain pull
5–25 HP or more; gearbox, motor, and electrical spec options
VFDs, PLC integration, remote control options
We combine advanced engineering and high-quality materials to build each heavy-duty roller chain conveyor for durability and long-term performance.
Every extreme heavy-duty roller chain conveyor is built from heavy structural steel and finished to survive continuous shredding, scrap, and foundry duty. Frame, tubing, and pan sides are MIG-welded with Grade 8 hardware and 10-gauge gusset plates, then sandblasted and powder-coated for corrosion resistance.

Hardware
Our extreme heavy-duty roller chain conveyors are designed, engineered, and manufactured to outperform the recognized standards for conveyor safety, performance, and reliability.
We design and build custom control systems for your extreme heavy-duty roller chain conveyor, including start/stop sequencing, e-stop integration, and interlocks with upstream and downstream equipment. The control panel houses the hardware, while the control system programming handles the logic.
When standard models don't fit, we design an extreme heavy-duty roller chain conveyor around your material, footprint, and throughput, and when you need more than one conveyor, we engineer the full line.
Combine roller chain conveyors with feeding, sorting, baler infeed, and transport equipment into one integrated line. We handle the engineering, controls, and integration across every transfer point.
Configure the frame, chain, belt, drive, and controls of a single roller chain conveyor to match your material, layout, and tonnage targets. Adjust width, length, drive power, components, safety devices, and finish.
Various chain pitches, roller sizes, bushings, and chain-pull capacities, with sprockets machined to match.
Horsepower from 5–25 HP or more, with Nord, Dodge, and SEW drive brands.
Apron pan and Z-pan, with compound options for abrasion, heat, fire, oil, and anti-static requirements.
Engineered for specific materials and operating conditions.
Meet state, local, or regulatory requirements with custom drawings, models, and operating manuals.
Match any RAL color or physical sample through our paint process.
We supply roller chain belts in standard widths from 36 to 96 inches, with larger custom belts reaching 120 inches.
Overlapping pans in 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2-inch thickness for positive drive.
Best for heavy objects in auto recycling and manufacturing, hardware and assemblies, and hot materials such as clinker and castings.
We stock the parts that keep your Fluent extreme heavy-duty roller chain conveyor running. Contact us with your conveyor's model number, and we'll supply the parts.
ASCE rail cut and drilled to carry the chain on X-HD frames.
Configure an extreme heavy-duty roller chain conveyor sized to your operation. Fluent builds units for recycling, waste management, manufacturing, and other heavy industries, with chain, belt, drive, and layout options matched to your material. See more conveyors for recycling or contact our team to start a build.
