Waste and Recycling

Built for the Messiest Workloads. Trusted in Waste and Recycling.

In large-scale recycling and waste recovery operations, conveyor systems carry a mix of unpredictable, abrasive, and often sticky materials – from shredded plastics and scrap metals to damp paper, organics, and general waste.

MATO’s Australian-made belt cleaners are engineered to keep these systems moving. Our primary and secondary belt cleaners are built tough to handle inconsistent loads, reduce build-up, and minimise the downtime that costs time, money, and safety.

The MATO Advantage in Waste & Recycling

Less Carryback, More Uptime

Efficiently clears waste residue to prevent buildup that leads to belt mis-tracking and unscheduled shutdowns.

Lower Cleaning and Labour Costs

Eliminates the need for constant manual cleanup around conveyor areas.

Protects Conveyor Components

Removes rogue materials before they damage pulleys, rollers and structure.

Handles Unpredictable Material Streams

Designed for mixed, abrasive, wet or sticky material flows — with blade options to suit.

Improved Safety and Compliance

Cleaner belts reduce slip and trip hazards, fire risks, and meet WHS requirements more easily.

Fast Local Supply & Support

Australian-made with responsive tech support and fast lead times to keep your site running.

Popular Configurations for Recycling Facilities

  • Polyurethane primary cleaners for gentle, non-damaging removal on belts with mechanical fasteners
  • Secondary cleaners with tungsten carbide or special profiles to manage fines and sticky residues
  • V-ploughs and return-side cleaners to protect tail pulleys from sharp or bulky debris
  • Compatible with reversing belts and variable-speed systems

Where We Fit In Your Process

Built for Reliability. Proven in the Field.

MATO belt cleaners are already installed across waste and recycling facilities at multiple sites across Australia. They’re backed by on-site support, fast lead times, and real results.

Case Study: Cleanaway NSW

A major Cleanaway site processing mixed commercial and household waste faced frequent shutdowns due to build-up on their conveyor systems. In partnership with Cleanaway sub-contractor Mining Elements & Co, MATO Australia was brought in to improve belt cleaner performance at this specific Cleanaway location. The team began transitioning from legacy bolt-on systems to MATO’s MDP primary and MUS secondary belt cleaners – technology originally proven in demanding mining environments.
