In industries like mining, aggregates, salt, and bulk material handling, the belt conveyor is more than just a moving belt — it’s the backbone of throughput. But too many operations still rely on generic conveyor systems that aren’t designed for their actual material, layout, or production demands. Cogar has the custom belt conveyors you need.
At Cogar Manufacturing, we take a different approach. We build custom belt conveyor systems engineered to fit your exact operation — because “close enough” doesn’t cut it when you’re trying to move hundreds of tons per hour without interruption.
Built for Your Material — Not Someone Else’s
Different materials behave in drastically different ways. What works for crushed stone may not work for wet coal, and what’s ideal for a salt stockpile might fail in a terminal handling gypsum or potash.
Cogar’s custom conveyors take into account:
- Material weight, moisture, and flowability
- Belt width and speed needed for throughput
- Impact forces at loading zones
- Required incline or decline angles
By engineering every conveyor around your specific material characteristics, we ensure fewer blockages, reduced spillage, and longer equipment life.
Custom Layout = Better Throughput
Every operation has its own layout constraints — from underground mine entries to plant corridors to outdoor barge terminals. Fitting a standard conveyor system into a custom space is a recipe for lost time, poor alignment, and maintenance headaches.
At Cogar, we design belt conveyor systems that:
- Match your facility footprint
- Navigate around existing structures or equipment
- Maximize space utilization
- Allow for easy maintenance and future upgrades
We don’t try to force your system into our frame — we build the frame that fits your system.
The Details That Make the Difference
Your operation deserves more than a belt on rollers. Every Cogar conveyor can be equipped with the exact features you need to maximize uptime and protect your investment:
- Impact beds and loading skirts
- Return belt cleaners and belt tracking systems
- Dust covers, safety guards, and walkways
- Abrasion-resistant liners and wear plates
- Guarding and access doors for MSHA/OSHA compliance
And because we build everything in-house, we can tailor the smallest details — down to the type of idler or bearing — to meet your site’s environment and maintenance preferences.
Ready for Expansion
Our custom belt conveyors are designed with modularity and expansion in mind. Whether you’re planning for future tonnage increases, an added reclaim system, or an automated material diverter, we make sure your conveyor doesn’t limit your growth.
Modular truss sections, adjustable drive stations, and plug-and-play components give you the flexibility to grow — without starting over.

Final Word: Get More from Your Conveyor
If you’re still running a one-size-fits-all conveyor, you’re probably losing time, money, and material every day.
A Cogar custom belt conveyor system gives you:
- Fewer breakdowns
- Smoother material flow
- Easier integration with your process
- Longer lifespan and reduced maintenance
Let’s build the system that works for your site — not someone else’s.
