In mining, aggregate, salt, and bulk material handling, conveyor systems are only as reliable as the drive powering them. That’s why Cogar Manufacturing designs and builds high-torque belt conveyor drives that deliver long-lasting performance under the harshest conditions.
Whether you’re moving coal underground, transferring salt at a terminal, or handling aggregate at a quarry, our conveyor drives are engineered for efficiency, durability, and uptime.
What Is a Belt Conveyor Drive?
A belt conveyor drive is the heart of your conveyor system. It supplies the torque and power needed to move material from point A to point B—often under load, over long distances, and across rough terrain.
At Cogar, we don’t use off-the-shelf solutions. We manufacture conveyor drive assemblies that are custom-fit for your application, including:
- Drive base frames
- Reducers and motor mounts
- Belt tensioning systems
- Guarding and torque arms
- Fully enclosed or open configurations
Every system is built with heavy-duty service in mind, backed by field-tested performance in demanding industries.
Built for Heavy Industry
Our belt conveyor drives are used across multiple sectors:
- Underground and surface mining
- Salt, potash, and aggregate handling
- Bulk terminals and barge facilities
- Material reclaim and stockpile feeders
With a focus on modular construction and serviceability, our drives are designed to integrate seamlessly with new or existing belt conveyor systems.
Custom-Engineered for Your Operation
No two operations are the same—and neither are our drives. We custom-engineer each conveyor drive to meet your:
- Load requirements
- Belt speed and width
- Space constraints
- Power specifications (motor/gearbox ratio)
- Environmental conditions (wet, dusty, high heat)
From motor size to shaft alignment, we optimize every detail to maximize power transmission and reduce wear.
Serviceability and Long-Term Support
Our belt conveyor drives are built with maintenance crews in mind. We ensure:
- Easy access to critical components
- High-wear areas built from abrasion-resistant materials
- Replacement parts readily available
- In-house rebuild capability and machining
- 24/7 support for critical failures or breakdowns
With Cogar, you’re never stuck waiting for weeks on a drive part. Our team can turn around rebuilds and custom replacements fast.
