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.

CUSTOM UNDERGROUND MINING CONVEYOR PACKAGES

No two underground mining operations are the same—many different considerations can affect the design of an underground mining conveyor:

• Ground profiles
• Environmental concerns
• Rugged topography 
• Noise levels
• Material abrasiveness
• Transfer rates
• Material density 

These factors and more are why underground mining conveyors often require some form of customization to the drive system, belt construction, structure, or dust control components. Our expert engineers will design a custom system that can include:

• Underground Conveyor Belts
• Conveyor Drive
• Take-up Unit
• Tail Section
• Belt Starter
• Conveyor Structure
