Conveyor belt pulleys for all industries

Quarries and mines

The mining industry is subdivided into a wide range of sectors, including the extraction of coal, metallic minerals, precious stones and non-metallic minerals. Raw materials are processed to meet a wide range of needs, particularly in the manufacturing, construction and infrastructure sectors. Whether at the time of extraction, or for the processing of these raw materials, numerous belt conveyors are required for these activities.

Waste collection center

Waste sorting methods vary according to the nature of the waste and the characteristics of the collection. To minimize the amount of waste going to landfill or incineration, ambitious new recycling and recovery targets have been set. ALTEMA conveyor belt drums can be found on sorting and processing systems for selective collection, household waste, industrial waste, composting, CSR processing, Machefer, sorting of CIW, WAS and rubble.

Agri-food

For 25 years, ALTEMA has been supplying conveyor pulleys for the processing of raw materials used in the food industry. This experience enables us to meet every requirement, from standard drum pulleys to squirrel-cage drums. ALTEMA conveyor drums are used on conveyors or bucket elevator to transport cereals, sugar, salt, coffee and flour.

Automotive

In the automotive conveyor systems sector, conveyor belts have a wide variety of applications. For automotive parts and assemblies, conveyor belts are used to transport stamped parts at high speed and with maximum safety. The type of belt required depends on the material being conveyed.
