CUSTOM AGGREGATE CONVEYOR PACKAGES

Aggregate takes many forms and its uses are varied. Mining, construction, and material processing/production are just some of the industries that need to move it through their operations.

Every aggregate presents conveying challenges. Quarry dust or fines are an issue with some, others are sharp-edged or abrasive. Density, which ranges from that of geosynthetic aggregate to slag or recycled concrete, influences transfer rates and required conveyor power. Some applications need only short runs, others span miles.

For these reasons and more, aggregate conveyors always need some customization. Structure, drive system, belt construction, and dust control are some of the components that must be selected and designed to suit the application.

Custom packages typically include:

• Systems design using our Overland Conveyor Belt Analyst program
• Overland (Surface) Conveyors
• Surface Conveyor Belts
• Conveyor drive
• Take-up unit
• Tail section
• Belt starter
• Conveyor structure

West River Conveyors has engineered customized conveyor solutions to handle many different types of aggregate in a variety of environments: ask how we can support your next aggregate handling project.
