Industry

Aggregate

Overview

Put more rock on the pile

Dodge aggregate equipment supports the hard work of mining, crushing, screening, washing, classifying, conveying, loading, storing, stacking, and drying crushed stone, sand, and gravel.

Our industrial power transmission portfolio brings together gear reducers, mounted bearings, conveyor pulley assemblies, and condition monitoring systems. It also includes engineered and assembled package solutions for demanding bulk material handling applications. Built around practical design, customer feedback, and field support, these solutions help teams protect equipment, improve safety, extend service life, simplify maintenance, and keep material moving through harsh, high-shock, high-contamination conditions.

Common challenges

Simplify the demands of aggregate production

Aggregate conveyor systems and aggregate processing equipment work through dust, moisture, shock loads, weather, and long duty cycles. Dodge helps address four common challenges with application-ready power transmission solutions.

01

Unplanned downtime

An unexpected conveyor or drive failure can stop material flow. In a quarry, one stopped belt can idle the crushers, screens, and loadout behind it, and every hour down is lost tonnage and reduced profitability.

02

Safety risks around rotating equipment

Routine checks and service put people close to rotating equipment. Crews inspect pulleys, drives, and bearings along long conveyor runs, often in dusty, noisy conditions with limited visibility.

03

Solid and liquid contamination

Dust, abrasive fines, and moisture can get into bearings and gearboxes and shorten service life. Washing, wet screening, and open stockpiles keep components exposed to slurry, rain, and grit in every season.

04

Time-consuming maintenance

Installing and removing gearboxes and bearings can slow work on site. Many components sit high on conveyor galleries or deep inside crushing and screening plants, where access is tight and service windows are short.

Success stories

Proven in demanding aggregate applications

Granite quarry belt conveyor driven by a Dodge Motorized Torque-Arm reducer in the aggregate industry
Success story

Not taking savings for granite

A granite quarry in the Southeast was losing conveyor uptime to reducer maintenance. After four Motorized Torque-Arm units cut downtime and upkeep, the plant is working to put MTA on all 40 belt conveyors.
Frac sand plant bucket elevators running Dodge TAF mounted tapered roller bearings in the aggregate industry
Success story

Elevating efficiency and cost savings

Contamination kept taking out bucket elevator bearings at a Texas frac sand plant. Preassembled TAF bearings went in fast, needed one replacement in 33 months and saved $445,380.

Success story

Eliminating slurry fury

Bearing failures kept knocking slurry pumps offline at an aggregate plant. With 34 OPTIFY Intelli-Lube® units on 11 pumps, there were no failures for over a year and manual greasing went away.
