Underground salt conveyor with corrosion-resistant HDPE rollers

Steel & HDPE Rollers & Idlers for Peak Performance

Steel tube rollers are the most common types of idlers that you’ll find on conveyors in the mining industry because they are designed for heavyweight applications. However, HDPE rollers are becoming increasingly popular in harsh, high-moisture environments due to their corrosion resistance capabilities. WRC offers both steel and HDPE idlers and all of our idlers are designed to meet or exceed the load limits established by CEMA.

If your conveyor is working in demanding applications and needs to conform to CEMA standards, West River can provide:

  • Industry-leading idler brands with West River’s frame workmanship
  • Idlers and conveyor structures that are ideal for harsh mining environments
  • Idlers that are best for underground conveyor applications
  • Idlers that utilize the best ball-bearing technology
  • Idlers that have low Total Indicated Runout (TIR)
  • Idlers that have superior sealing systems
