We combine advanced engineering and high-quality materials to build each trough slider conveyor for durability and long-term performance.
Every trough slider bed conveyor is built from heavy structural steel and finished to survive continuous recycling and material handling duty. The 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 slider bed conveyors are designed, engineered, and manufactured to outperform the recognized standards for conveyor safety, performance, and reliability.
International standards for conveyor belts, safety, and quality management.
Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association standards for alignment tolerances, belt ratings, bearing selection, guarding, and installation.
National safety standard for conveyors and related equipment.
Workplace safety requirements for guarding, lockout/tagout, and operation.
We design and build custom control systems for your trough slider bed conveyor, including start sequencing, belt scale integration, and overload protection. The control panel houses the hardware, while the control system programming handles the logic, including totalization from any installed weighing instrumentation.
Our panels are built to UL 508A specifications, comply with TÜV standards, and are individually certified. Fluent Conveyors does not hold UL 508A certification as a company.
When standard models don't fit, we design a trough slider bed conveyor around your material, footprint, and throughput, and when you need more than one conveyor, we engineer the full line.
Combine slider bed 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, belt, drive, and controls of a single slider bed conveyor to match your material, layout, and tonnage targets. Adjust width, length, drive power, components, safety devices, and finish.
Upgrade bearings, pulleys, and other wear parts to match duty.
Horsepower from 5 HP to 25 HP or more, with Nord, Dodge, and SEW drive brands.
Engineered for specific materials and operating conditions.
Meet state, local, or regulatory requirements with custom drawings and operating manuals.
Match any RAL color or physical sample through our paint process.
We supply trough slider bed belts in standard widths of 48, 60, 72, and 84 inches, with custom widths available. Wider belts use vertical splicing.
General horizontal conveyance in recycling, manufacturing, and logistics. Common on sortation lines and assembly conveyors where personnel interact with the belt.
For abrasion, heat, fire, oil, chemical, or anti-static requirements, see our industrial belts.
Fluent supplies replacement parts and wear components to keep your trough slider bed conveyor 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.
Cold-rolled and precision-ground drive and take-up shafts.
Configure a trough slider bed conveyor sized to your operation. Fluent builds units for recycling, waste management, manufacturing, and logistics, with belt, drive, and layout options matched to your material. See more conveyors for recycling or contact our team to start a build.
