A reversing shuttle conveyor is essentially a belt conveyor mounted onto a rail system, and offers numerous advantages to a bulk material handling system, including:

    • A stationary inlet: the stationary feed chute allows for processed material to be directed to one central location.
    • Reversible belt direction: there is no restriction as to which end of the conveyor the material can discharge from, thus this style is ideal for filling multiple hoppers or storage bins.
    • Remote/automation: Reversing shuttle conveyors can be controlled from a remote control room, or automatically through an preset program.

FEECO’s shuttle conveyors are suited for various applications- bulk warehousing of raw materials, filling storage silos for frac sand processing, and more. For additional information on reversing shuttle conveyors, contact us today!
