Bearings & Components for Aggregate & Cement Conveyors & Material Handling

Bearings & Components for Aggregate & Cement Conveyors & Material Handling

Conveyors and material handling systems play an important role in moving aggregates, cement and other bulk materials throughout quarrying, processing and production operations.

Bearings, bearing housings, belts, chains, sprockets and seals support movement and power transmission across conveyors, feeders and associated material handling equipment.

These systems can operate for extended periods in environments exposed to dust, contamination, heavy loads and changing operating conditions. Correct component selection and routine maintenance are important for supporting reliable operation.

Components Used in Conveyors & Material Handling Systems

Bearing Housings & Inserts

Bearing housings and inserts provide mounted bearing solutions for rotating shafts across conveyors and material handling equipment.

Different housing styles, insert configurations, and sealing arrangements are available depending on shaft size, load, mounting arrangement and operating conditions.

When identifying replacement components, use existing bearing and housing references with accurate dimensions wherever possible.

Explore our range of bearing housings and inserts.

Conveyor Bearings

Bearings support rotating shafts, rollers and other moving components throughout conveyor and material handling systems.

Different bearing designs and configurations are available depending on load, speed, dimensions and operating environment.

Consider the original bearing specification, dimensions, internal clearance, sealing arrangement and application requirements when identifying a replacement.

Explore our range of bearings.

Conveyor Belts & V-Belts

Belts are used for both material movement and power transmission across conveyor and processing equipment.

Different belt profiles, dimensions and materials are available depending on the machinery and application requirements.

Use the existing belt reference, profile and accurate dimensions when identifying a suitable replacement.

Explore our range of belts.

Chains & Sprockets

Chains and sprockets provide positive mechanical drive across conveyors and other material handling equipment.

Correct chain pitch, size, sprocket configuration and alignment are important when identifying and maintaining replacement components.

Inspect chains and sprockets for wear, elongation, damage and correct lubrication according to the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.

Explore our range of chains and sprockets.

Seals

Seals help retain lubricant and protect bearings, shafts and other mechanical components against dust, dirt and contamination.

Effective sealing is particularly important around conveyor equipment operating in environments containing abrasive aggregate and cement dust.

Consider dimensions, material, profile, shaft condition and operating environment when identifying a replacement seal.

Maintaining Conveyors & Material Handling Equipment

Conveyors and material handling systems can operate continuously or for extended periods while exposed to dust, abrasive materials, heavy loads and contamination.

During appropriate maintenance, inspect bearings and housings for excessive play, unusual noise, overheating or damage. Check belts for wear, cracking, damage and correct tension, and inspect chains and sprockets for wear, elongation, lubrication and alignment.

Inspect seals for deterioration, damage or leakage that could allow contaminants to reach surrounding components.

Lubrication, belt tension, chain adjustment and other maintenance procedures should always follow the relevant equipment and component manufacturer's recommendations.
