Renewable Energy & Recycling Facilities
In renewable energy and recycling, every hour of uptime counts.
Whether you’re moving scrap, sorting materials, or generating power from waste streams—Tillson keeps your mechanical systems aligned, anchored, and operating under load.
We support recycling centers, MRFs (material recovery facilities), biomass plants, and other renewable infrastructure with expert installation, alignment, and equipment maintenance.
When your conveyors, fans, shredders, or skids need to run nonstop—we’re the mechanical partner that makes sure they can.
What We Support
Our crews install and maintain:
- Belt conveyors (cleated, incline, flat)
- Chain-driven, slat, screw, and modular conveyors
- Shredders, magnets, and blowers
- Fans, pumps, gearboxes, and drive motors
- Equipment bases, anchor systems, and grout foundations
- Skid-mounted energy recovery and material handling systems
Whether you’re expanding throughput or fixing failures, we bring field-ready millwright expertise to every job.
Why It Matters
Recycling and renewable facilities operate at speed and under stress. Failures are rarely isolated—when one conveyor misaligns or a gearbox vibrates, the entire line backs up.
Poor mechanical installs lead to:
- Tracking problems and belt misfeeds
- Shaft wear and coupling misalignment
- Motor overloads and vibration issues
- Chute clogs, jams, or hazardous spillage
- Excessive downtime and throughput loss
We eliminate the root causes—misalignment, unstable bases, and poor mechanical connections—so your lines keep moving.
Our Material Handling Service Process
1. Walkdown & Layout Verification
We evaluate conveyor paths, mounting points, equipment spacing, and structural supports—so nothing goes in out of square or off-level.
2. Rigging, Base, and Drive Setup
We move and set shredders, conveyors, and skids with safe, precision rigging. Bases are leveled, anchored, and grouted for vibration control.
3. Mechanical Install & Alignment
We install conveyors, tension belts, align shafts, and calibrate drive systems. Fans, pumps, and motors are installed to torque and DBSE specs.
4. Startup Prep & Test Runs
We verify alignment, soft foot, belt tracking, and load-bearing tolerances. Then we support startup runs and make adjustments to fine-tune performance.
Where We Work
You’ll find our crews at:
- Municipal recycling centers
- High-speed MRFs and single-stream sorting facilities
- Biomass and waste-to-energy plants
- Anaerobic digesters and composting centers
- Solar and battery recycling hubs
- Clean fuel production and recovery systems
Our team knows how to work safely around conveyors, heavy mechanical equipment, and live systems. We minimize disruption and maximize uptime.
