Conveyors for the underground mining industry help to reduce spills, dust levels, and noise. When transporting materials via an underground conveyor, you can avoid the expense, maintenance, and high labor requirements of a large fleet of trucks.
Using a below-ground conveyor is ideal for moving large quantities of a wide range of materials, like coal, trona, salt, potash, lithium, and more.
At West River Conveyors, we will design, build, and install a custom underground mining conveyor system tailored precisely to your operation’s needs. No matter your application, we’ll provide you with a reliable turnkey system to solve your toughest material moving challenges.

“I have had excellent success with everything I have purchased from West River. The service is great! I have called after hours and received the same top-notch service. The pulleys that I bought have been top-quality and are doing very well. I recently had some alignment work done on our slope belt, with the same high quality workmanship. I would recommend West River to anyone needing gearboxes, pulleys, alignment, or other conveyor components.”

In my experience, many vendors are primarily interested in maximizing their profit margin but I truly believe the team at West River has the best interest of the customer at heart.”
