Aggregate Industry
Aggregate applications typically operate for long hours while moving a high volume of materials. We offer solutions designed to withstand the harshest conditions while delivering the highest level of performance.
What Your Operation Is Up Against
Harsh Operating Conditions
- Mining equipment must perform reliably in extreme environments.
- These environments can accelerate wear, corrosion, and premature mechanical failure if equipment is not designed for these conditions.
Unplanned Downtime
- Critical equipment failures can halt production with little warning.
Downtime caused by aging equipment and inadequate maintenance,
Every hour of downtime can result in lost production, missed shipment targets, and increased operating costs.
Backstop Failures
Large distribution and sortation centers consume significant amounts of energy. Companies are seeking equipment that improves efficiency while lowering total cost of ownership.

Navigate Solutions by Application
In this environment, you cannot afford breakdowns. With that in mind, many major courier services commit to using our speed reducers for their reliability and high-efficiency performance. We have a wide range of products to match your specific industry need.
Aggregate Quarry
Conveying
Aggregate conveying involves using heavy-duty belts and systems to transport bulk materials like sand, gravel, and crushed stone efficiently.
Related Products:
Crushing
Crushing reduces quarried rocks into smaller, uniform aggregate sizes like gravel and sand using heavy-duty machinery for construction.
Related Products:
Sizing/Screening
Screening uses vibrating mesh decks to separate crushed rock, sand, and gravel into precise, graded sizes for construction standards.
Related Products:
Washing
Washing uses water and mechanical action to remove dust, clay, and silt from crushed stone and sand to ensure materials meet quality standards.
Related Products:
Stacking
Stacking uses conveyors to build organized stockpiles of processed sand, gravel, and stone, maximizing storage space and minimizing segregation.
Related Products:
Cement Processing
Conveying
Cement processing conveying uses pneumatic systems, bucket elevators, and rugged belts to safely transfer raw meal, hot clinker, and cement.
Related Products:
Crushing
Crushing reduces quarried limestone and raw materials into smaller sizes using heavy-duty machinery to prepare them for raw milling.
Related Products:
Grinding
Grinding uses ball mills and vertical roller mills to pulverize raw meal and clinker into fine powder for cement production.
Related Products:
Kiln
Rotary kilns heat raw meal to extreme temperatures up to 1450°C, triggering chemical reactions to transform it into hard cement clinker.
Related Products:
Ball Mills
Ball mills use rotating cylinders filled with steel balls to pulverize raw meal or clinker into fine powder for cement production.
Related Products:
Sand
Dredging
Dredging uses hydraulic suction pumps to extract sand and gravel from underwater deposits, supplying raw material to processing plants.
Related Products:
Crushing
Crushing uses heavy-duty machinery to break down oversized gravel and rock into manufactured sand, meeting strict construction grading specs.
Related Products:
Sizing/Screening
Screening uses vibrating mesh decks to separate sand into precise particle sizes, ensuring products meet strict construction specifications.
Related Products:
Washing
Washing uses water, cyclones, and screw classifiers to remove silt, clay, and impurities from sand, producing clean, spec-compliant material.
Related Products:
Screw Conveyor
Screw conveyors use a rotating helical blade inside a trough to efficiently transport, elevate, or dewater wet and dry sand in processing plants.
