When the conveyor stops, production comes to a halt. That’s why selecting the right mining conveyor belt for your material transport needs is essential for maintaining productivity and safety in demanding mining environments.
Abrasive materials can cause rips and tears in standard belts. Heavy loads can lead to excessive extension, and in underground mining operations, the risk of fire is always a significant concern. Both the mining belt structure and cover must be engineered specifically for these challenges to avoid costly unplanned downtime and minimize the risk of injury.
West River Conveyors is an exclusive distributor of premium-grade underground and surface mining conveyor belts designed for the most demanding applications. We can include high-performance mining belts in comprehensive conveyor package quotes, ensuring our customers receive the best possible value for their investment.

High temperatures, heavy loads, high speeds, and long runs in underground mining environments demand exceptional strength, durability, and strict conformance to fire safety regulations.
The fire-retardant underground mining conveyor belts we carry comply with all MSHA, CAN, and ISO standards to protect both workers and physical assets from potential hazards. Most underground mining conveyor belts are designed with narrower widths and operate at higher speeds to maximize material transport capacity within confined spaces. For operations that can accommodate greater widths, our Depreux mining conveyor belts are available in dimensions up to 84″.
To address the specific requirements of underground mining applications, we offer mining belts with three distinct constructions:
Regardless of your specific underground mining application requirements, West River Conveyors can accommodate specialized mining belt types upon request.
For underground mining operations, we offer a comprehensive selection including Firewall 1™, Firewall II™, Deltatherm, and Firemaster™ mining conveyor belts, each engineered for specific underground mining conditions and safety requirements.

In surface mining, quarrying, tunneling, harbor, or heavy-duty material processing operations, selecting the wrong mining conveyor belt can result in significant operational and financial consequences.
Highly abrasive materials like clinker, iron ore, quartz, lignite, anthracite, gravel, and sand can quickly damage standard conveyor belts through ripping and tearing. Additionally, high material loads can cause excessive belt extension, leading to tracking problems and premature failure. Matching your mining belt structure, cover composition, and tensile strength to the specific materials being transported ensures maximum service life and minimizes costly operational downtime.
Our surface mining conveyor belts deliver quantifiable advantages:
For surface mining operations, West River Conveyors offers a range of specialized solutions including Delta plied mining belts, DX/ST steel cord mining belts, and Deltatherm mining belts from Depreux, each engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of surface mining environments.
Whatever your surface mining application requirements, West River Conveyors can accommodate specialized mining belt types to match your exact operational needs.
