West River Conveyors & Machinery

West River sells a variety of new and used conveyor pulleys including head pulleys, bend pulleys, snub pulleys, take-up pulleys, tail pulleys, drum pulleys and more. West River offers pulleys with many different types of lagging including ceramic, diamond, smooth, and herringbonechevron. West River works directly with customers to find a pulley that will fit their unique application. Starting with the pulley shaft, CEMA specifications dictate a standard shaft extension and West River surpasses that standard. Additionally, heavy-duty integral end discs with bushings are utilized, dampening axial movement along the shaft and mitigating the common failure point on conveyor pulleys. It is very important to our company to never lose contact with the customer, walking them through the entire pulley purchasing process and making sure they get the pulley they need for their operation in a timely manner. Depending on customer application requirements, West River offers a variety of sizes and lagging options from leading suppliers in the industry – DodgeBaldor, PPI, and Martin CCI.

Fluid couplings are used to gently accelerate belt drives. Fluid couplings limit torque, provide load sharing upon start-up and dampen torsional vibrations increasing your conveyor system’s productivity and longevity. Maximum energy savings is also achieved when fluid couplings are used, due to current peak reduction. In many cases customers opt to use a gear or elastomer coupling if they are using a VFD starter.

An Alignment-Free Drive refers to the power base components — reducer, fluid coupling and motor — properly constructed to eliminate shaft misalignment. With an Alignment-Free Drive, there are two critical elements, input and output, where the need to align is completely eradicated, making it a great choice for those interested in long-term cost savings and efficiency.

Backstops are devices designed to protect inclined conveyors from the dangers of gravity accelerated reverse runaway. Backstops are used as a safety mechanism in the event that a drive has failed and needs to be stopped immediately. West River carries the leading backstop brands including Falk, Formsprag and Ringspann.
