Conveyor systems can be an asset to any aggregate or mineral processing site, but it can be frustrating when you have an underperforming or broken system. Why wait until your conveyor system has broken down to learn about what options are available to update it?
At Kemper Equipment, we approach each conveyor system individually because they are unique to a site&#;s needs. Whether you are here with questions about a new conveyor for your business, updating an existing conveyor with our custom system designs, or conveyor components to fix a broken part, we can help.
A conveyor system is a type of mechanical equipment that moves products from place to place. These systems move raw materials, heavy or bulky items, or small materials such as sand, allowing for the quick transport of products that may otherwise take a long time to move.
Conveyor belts offer a reduction in human labor and an increase in production, safety, and better access to job sites. Because of these benefits, conveyors have many applications in our industrialized world.
Some common types of conveyors include:
We primarily work with belt conveyors because they are the most versatile within the aggregate and mineral processing industry. Still, you can see examples of other types of conveyors and systems in our conveyor project gallery.
Conveyor systems can help streamline transportation processes where hauling trucks are inconvenient. These are flexible and can also reach destinations that trucks can&#;t access, lowering the time required to relocate materials and increasing your production.
Kemper Equipment can customize a conveyor system to fit your business needs. Customization relies on several factors because each aggregate or mineral processing site is different, and the conveyor is just one part of the production process. You may need several aggregate conveyor systems to meet the needs of your operation.
Conveyors are more environmentally friendly than you would expect, as they cause only a minor disturbance to the land versus creating new roadways for hauling with trucks. They are also better for the safety of your crew as they offer automation for your project and limit the human labor your site requires. This automation may also have the bonus of lowering your labor costs!
When working with a conveyor system, you may encounter components such as idlers, conveyor hoods, gravity takeups, impact beds, conveyor belting, belt cleaners, belt scraper blades, belt splice kits, belt scales, safety gates, walkways, and more.
Each of these conveyor parts has a specialized job that your conveyor relies on to keep working. A shutdown can happen when a component breaks, losing you time and money. Prevent a shutdown by keeping an eye on your parts and doing preventative maintenance. If you find that one of your parts has broken, you can visit our Quarry Parts e-commerce website for a replacement.

No two conveyor systems are exactly alike. Some common questions our clients have when caring for their conveyors include:
Preventative maintenance can help keep your conveyor system running smoothly. This care doesn&#;t have to take a long time but will save you from costly downtime in the future. Look for debris, belt wear, misalignment, or parts that may appear to be wearing out. Knowing your machine and regularly performing these types of checks can alert you early to potential issues.
Schedule regular maintenance checks and ensure your operators have training on operation and safety compliances. Plan for emergencies and prepare for what could happen if your conveyor stops working.
Know your conveyor&#;s limits, and don&#;t try to put more weight onto the conveyor than it can handle. Our design/build services can help you determine which type of conveyor system is right for you and the amount of product you want to move.
When a conveyor breaks down, you may lose productivity, time, and money to a shutdown until you can get new parts in to repair the conveyor. High-quality, durable materials make up a conveyor system, but they sometimes require repairs despite regular care. Conveyor components are complex and may break down over time because of simple wear and tear or more serious issues, like improper usage.
It can be challenging to find the correct conveyor parts, but Quarry Parts makes it easy. Quarry Parts is a division of Kemper Equipment where you can find the precise conveyor parts you need. Our conveyor components are high-quality, so you can expect them to continue to last.
Whether you are looking for an upgrade to your system or simply looking for a conveyor component, contact us for help. Our experts at Kemper Equipment will help you meet your latest project goals with our custom conveyors or find the right part for a broken system.
Advancements in the development and production of plastic conveyor parts have resulted in a superior product that dramatically improves conveyor belt performance. In many cases, molded plastic conveyor belt parts are better than metal ones:
When you can use more affordable products in your equipment, it&#;s a win-win for all concerned. Because molded plastic conveyor parts are more affordable to produce, everyone gets to keep a little something extra in their pocket, from the manufacturer to the consumer.
Because they&#;re less costly and easier to produce, it&#;s feasible to keep larger minimum quantities on hand and easier to get molded plastic conveyor belt parts when you need them.
Because there are very few limitations to designing injection molded parts, modern engineering methods allow them to be designed to optimize strength and thus are surprisingly durable. Molded plastic conveyor parts are designed to handle the most rigorous loading for the application.
Welded metal parts often have issues with warping, which is oftentimes unpredictable and can be hard to control. Molded plastic conveyor belt parts are more uniform than their metal counterparts.
Manufactured parts often have to go through several steps during the manufacturing process (such as sawing, milling, turning, welding, coating, etc.). When replacing parts that are coated (like an LPI chain guide), there&#;s less chance of losing parts due to additional steps in manufacturing, so less quality checking is required.
Plastics come in a wide range of material properties. Parts can be made rigid or flexible, high-friction or low-friction. Depending on the design requirements, there&#;s a plastic material that&#;s best suited for the application.
Molded plastic parts can be engineered with features that are much more ergonomic and safe compared to traditionally manufactured metal parts.
There are dozens of custom-molded plastic wear parts for conveyors replacing metal parts like the hinged steel belt and the sprockets. Today&#;s conveyor equipment contains plastic parts such as:
