Foundry & Mining Solutions

May Conveyor provides engineered conveyor belts for OEMs and heavy-duty systems designed for the harsh demands of the Foundry and Mining industries. Their durable product line—Steel Hinge Belts, Z-Apron Pan Belts, Beaded Apron Belts, and Conveyor Chains—is built to handle high-impact tasks, high temperatures, and rough materials. These heavy-duty conveyor systems support smooth, low-maintenance operation and help improve bulk material handling in both new builds and older systems.

Super Heavy Duty Apron Pan Belt For a Foundry
Steel Hinge Belts
Available in 6″ and 9″ pitch options
Pan thicknesses up to 1/4″ for added durability
Options for wings, impact pads, cleats, and reinforced C-channel supports
Transporting hot metal castings, slag, ore, and scrap
Handling large, abrasive bulk materials in horizontal and inclined paths
Built for high-impact, high-heat environments
Extended belt life due to heavy-duty construction and hardened components
Configurable for complex layouts and inclines

Z-Apron Pan Belts mix strength and material control. These belts are a solid choice for managing large loads in high temperature and rough settings like foundries and mines. Their design supports heavy-duty conveyor systems, keeping uptime high and repairs low.

Strong steel apron pans formed in a “Z” configuration for increased strength
Designed for durability and impact resistance
Moving cast parts and high-temperature materials in confined systems
Excellent for handling large volumes of scrap or slag with minimal spillage
High-load capacity with exceptional wear resistance
Reduces maintenance in continuous-duty operations
Suited for enclosed systems where cleanliness and control are essential
Conveyor Belt

Built with precision, Conveyor Chains from May Conveyor form the core of many heavy-duty conveyor systems. They help move materials with ease and support high temperature conveyor belts in mining and foundry operations. These chains also fit well into systems used for metal stamping conveyor belts, giving extra value in mixed-industry use.

Hardened links and journal-bearing rollers for extended life
Available in multiple standard chain sizes and configurations
Drive systems for steel hinge, Z-apron, and beaded apron belts
Suited for hot, dirty, and abrasive work zones
Withstands continuous load under high temperatures
Provides smooth operation with minimal lubrication needs
Compatible with retrofit or new system installations
