A well-designed conveyor system does much more than move material from Point A to Point B.
✅ Improve productivity by moving material continuously and efficiently
✅ Enhance safety by minimizing equipment traffic and employee exposure
✅ Increase uptime with reliable, engineered solutions built for your application
✅ Lower operating costs through efficient material movement and reduced equipment wear
✅ Support future growth with scalable designs that can expand as your operation evolves
Whether you're moving coal, aggregates, sand, salt, copper, or other bulk materials, the right conveyor system can become one of the most valuable assets in your operation.
What challenge would you like your conveyor system to solve?

What’s really happening inside your conveyor chute?
Recently, our team used advanced point cloud scanning technology to capture a detailed 3D model of a chute system in a preparation plant. The 3D scan allows for a direct replacement option for your existing chute. By scanning the existing system, we can verify fl**ge mounts through multiple floors of preparation plants, allowing for bolt-together panels to minimize installation time. By doing the scan, we can identify material buildup areas, wear patterns and potential failure points, flow restrictions and opportunities to improve throughput.
At West River Conveyors, we combine field scanning, engineering expertise, and custom fabrication to help our customers maximize conveyor performance and reliability.
If you're experiencing excessive wear, carryback, plugging, or recurring maintenance issues, a 3D scan may be the first step toward a long-term solution.

!! THROWBACK THURSDAY !!
Throwing it way back to 2005 when we built this slope conveyor system for a Kentucky customer. Over the years, technology has advanced, our team has grown, and our capabilities have expanded but one thing hasn't changed: our commitment to building custom conveyor solutions that help our customers move material safely and efficiently.
From then until now, we are proud to keep American industry moving, one custom solution at a time!

June is National Safety Month! As we recognize National Safety Month, it is a good reminder that fire extinguishers are one of the most important safety tools in any workplace but only if they are properly maintained and employees know how to use them. Several months ago, our employees were trained on proper use to help ensure our team is prepared to respond quickly and safely if an emergency occurs. Safety is a priority for us at WRC.

The social media calendar says its Global Running Day today!
🏃 Global Running Day reminds us that success isn't built overnight but built one step at a time.
The same is true in manufacturing. Every project, every WELD, every design review moves us closer to the finish line.
What goal are you working toward today?

What is controlled feeding in a transfer chute design? One of the most important principles in modern conveyor transfer chute design. The goal is to ensure that material enters the receiving conveyor in a predictable, centered, and consistent stream rather than allowing it to free-fall, bounce, or impact randomly. Uncontrolled loading onto the belt line reduces belt life by YEARS. West River's focus on chute design and geometry help solve poor material flow issues. Talk to us about digitally scanning your chutes and conveyor line to identify issues like uncontrolled feeding and loading.
