Industrial Supply for Aggregate
Heavy-duty bearings, conveyor belting, and drive components built for the punishing conditions of quarry and aggregate operations.
Aggregate operations run in some of the harshest conditions any industrial equipment faces. Crushers, screens, conveyors, and feeders run continuously under heavy loads, constant vibration, abrasive rock dust, and outdoor exposure. The result is accelerated wear on every component in the drivetrain. Bearings fail faster here than almost anywhere else — abrasive fines work past seals, vibration from crushers and vibratory screens causes fatigue, and washdowns introduce moisture that degrades lubrication. Conveyor belts take a constant beating from sharp, irregular rock and can tear or splice-fail with little warning. V-belts on crusher drives slip and glaze under shock loads. Roller chain on feeder systems stretches and wears through quickly in gritty environments. When a bearing seizes on a crusher, a belt tears on a main stacking conveyor, or a motor trips on a screen drive, your entire operation can come to a halt. Every hour of downtime in aggregate production translates directly to missed tonnage, delayed orders, and revenue loss. IDI stocks the bearings, belting, v-belts, chain, and motors that aggregate operations depend on, and we move fast when you call. We can cross-reference your existing part numbers, identify heavy-duty alternates built for abrasive environments, and get components moving the same day on standard sizes. Whether you need a Dodge pillow block for a conveyor head pulley, a replacement motor for a screen drive, or a belt splice kit to get a torn conveyor back up, we have what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do bearings fail so quickly in aggregate operations?
Aggregate environments are uniquely punishing for bearings. Fine abrasive dust works past seals and acts as a grinding compound inside the bearing race. Constant vibration from crushers and vibratory screens accelerates fatigue. Outdoor exposure introduces moisture that dilutes or displaces grease. The combination of abrasion, vibration, and contamination shortens bearing life significantly compared to a clean indoor application. Selecting bearings with heavy-duty sealing and a re-lubrication schedule matched to the actual environment is the most effective way to extend service life.
What conveyor belting does IDI carry for aggregate applications?
We carry heavy-duty rubber conveyor belting rated for abrasive bulk materials, along with Flexco belt fasteners and splice tools for field repairs. For aggregate, we recommend cut-resistant covers with adequate cover gauge for the specific material and drop height involved. We can help you select the right belt construction and connect you with on-site splicing resources when a belt goes down and every hour counts.
Can IDI help when a crusher or conveyor goes down?
Yes. When your operation stops because of a failed bearing, torn belt, broken chain, or tripped motor, call us directly. We stock standard aggregate drive components and can ship same-day on most common sizes. We can cross-reference your existing part numbers, identify heavy-duty alternates if a direct replacement isn't available, and get parts moving fast. Unplanned downtime in aggregate production is expensive — getting the right part quickly is what we're built for.
What brands does IDI recommend for aggregate drive components?
For bearings we stock Dodge and Timken, both of which offer heavy-duty sealed options well-suited to aggregate environments. For conveyor belting and splicing, we carry Flexco and Habasit. For motors, Baldor Reliance and WEG provide reliable TEFC-rated units that hold up in dusty outdoor environments. For chain and sprockets, US Tsubaki offers roller chain built for heavy-load, abrasive applications.
Does IDI supply lubrication products for aggregate equipment?
Yes. We carry Lubriplate industrial lubricants including greases formulated for heavy-load, water-resistant, and high-vibration applications common in aggregate operations. Correct re-lubrication intervals and grease selection are among the most effective tools for extending bearing life in crushing and screening environments.
