MINING, SAND & GRAVEL INDUSTRY
Many industries use conveyor belts to continuously transport raw materials or products from one place to another. A conveyor belt system consists of two or more pulleys around which the conveyor belt rotates. Automated conveyance is essential for efficient material handling in the mining, sand, and gravel industries, where high-volume, heavy loads of abrasive materials are common. A durable belting system facilitates efficient and continuous movement of quarry materials from mining to processing to stockpiling to distribution.
Green Rubber – Kennedy Ag offers specialized conveyor belt solutions designed to withstand the rigors of quarries, sand and gravel plants, hot tar and asphalt operations, cement batch plants, and ready-mix facilities. Our durable products and systems ensure safety, and optimal performance in demanding environments.
Conveyor Belts for Quarry Operations
Conveyor belts are essential to the productivity of any quarry operation. Choosing the correct type of belt is crucial for moving materials effectively, reducing waste, and limiting downtime.
High-Strength, Abrasion-Resistant Belts
Quarries and mining operations deal with a variety of abrasive, heavy materials that can cause serious damage to belting and shorten its useful life. For example, limestone and crushed rock require quarry belting that is wear-resistant and has the strength to support heavy loads. These applications require specialized conveyor belts with high impact resistance and long-wearing materials that can stand up to harsh quarry conditions.
Green Rubber – Kennedy Ag offers conveyor belts made from materials and with physical characteristics that stand up to these tough conditions over time. Our custom quarry belting solutions exceed RMA 2 specifications for optimal performance and durability.
Belting for Sand and Gravel Plants
Cleated and Incline Conveyor Systems
Sand and gravel plants require conveyor systems that can efficiently transport bulk materials on inclines without spilling. Conveyor belts with cleats help enhance the material’s grip to prevent rollback when managing sand and gravel on inclines.
Hot Tar and Asphalt Belt Solutions
Heat and Oil Resistant Conveyor Options
For applications that handle hot tar and asphalt, conveyor belts must withstand high temperatures and exposure to oil without degrading over time. We offer special belts with excellent heat and oil resistance for high-temperature or oily applications. Our 3-ply 330# belts maintain flexibility and structural integrity for reliable performance in these environments.
Cement and Ready-Mix Plant Belting
Reinforced Belts for Batch Loading Systems
Cement and ready-mix materials are extremely heavy and prone to flowing, spreading, and settling. Conveyor belt systems used for these products must be able to support these loads and prevent spills and backflow. We design reinforced cement conveyors and belting made from high-strength materials that can handle heavy batches of cement and ready-mix products without spillage, and without high power consumption.
Custom Services for Mining and Aggregate Operations
Our custom Quarry King Belts are specially developed for mining and aggregate applications. These mining and aggregate conveyors are available in thicknesses from 0.165 in. to 0.469 in., and provide 150 to 330 lb. per in. of tensile strength, along with tough SBR covers and smooth or curved profiles.
