In rock and aggregate operations, every ton of material puts your equipment to the test. From jaw crushers to screening decks, each system depends on conveyor belts that can stand up to constant impact, abrasion, and tension. Tide Industrial supplies heavy-duty rock and aggregate conveyor belts engineered for that exact challenge—built to keep your operation moving, shift after shift.
Why Aggregate Conveying Demands More
Rock and gravel handling is among the most punishing material-transport applications. Each load brings sharp edges, irregular sizes, and continuous impact that quickly destroy light-duty belting. Aggregate producers rely on belts that combine high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and low stretch—qualities that ensure consistent tracking and dependable performance under heavy load.
The right belt design directly affects throughput and uptime. When belting fails, systems stop. Choosing the proper construction from the start is essential to long-term efficiency and safety.

Selecting the Right Belt for the Job
No two aggregate operations are identical. Belts that perform well in a secondary crusher may not be suited for stockpile transfer or incline feed. Tide Industrial offers a range of conveyor belt solutions to match these specific demands, including:
Flat Belts: Two-ply and three-ply options for standard rock, sand, and gravel conveying.
Cleated Belts: Molded and vulcanized profiles to prevent rollback on inclines.
Reinforced Fabrics: High-strength layers to resist puncture and tearing.
Abrasion-Resistant Covers: Designed for extended belt life under sharp, coarse loads.
Each belt is available in standard or custom-spliced and laced configurations, tailored to your installation and preferred fastening method. From rivet and bolt hinges to Flexco and Alligator lacing, Tide Industrial provides the right assembly to simplify setup and ensure reliable service life.

Where Aggregate Belts are Used
Rock and aggregate conveyor belts play critical roles throughout the production process:
- Primary Feed: Moving raw material from hoppers or crushers.
 - Screening Systems: Transporting sorted aggregate and fines.
 - Incline Conveyors: Raising material to bins or storage piles.
 - Transfer Points: Linking multiple machines in continuous flow.
 
Matching belt type to application improves performance, efficiency, and maintenance cycles across your entire system.
When to Replace Rock and Aggregate Belts
Even the best belts eventually wear out. Warning signs include:
- Edge fraying or cracking
 - Splice separation
 - Cover gouges or cuts
 - Slippage or uneven tracking
 
Routine inspection and proactive replacement prevent downtime and protect equipment from secondary damage. Tide Industrial stocks a full range of conveyor belt materials for fast turnaround and custom fabrication when replacements are needed.
