Industrial Conveyor Cover Systems
RPS Engineering, Inc. manufactures a full line of industrial conveyor belt covers designed to protect conveying systems in demanding operating environments. Our conveyor cover systems accommodate idler center spacing from 3’-0” to 5’-0” and are available in galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, fiberglass, or painted steel to meet environmental, corrosion, and durability requirements. Standard configurations include full-coverage and ¾-coverage conveyor covers, with additional customization available as needed.
Our in-house engineering team works directly with customers to design custom conveyor cover systems tailored to specific belt widths, idler spacing, site conditions, and installation requirements.
| CH Series | CH-75 Series |
 |  |
| Our CH series is a full smooth cover and is among our most economical full cover systems. These covers are fully covered and hinged with a retaining bar to allow the cover to be held in an open position. | Our CH-75 series is a ¾ stationary smooth cover. These covers allow coverage of the belt and are open 45 degrees, standard, for viewing at a glance. Hinged ¾ covers are available as an option. |
| CHCO Series | CHLC Series |
 |  |
| Our CHCO series is a full corrugated cover. These covers are more rigid because of perpendicular corrugations. They are hinged for convenient viewing. | Our CHLC series is a ¾ stationary corrugated cover. These corrugated covers are great for the overland conveyor. The corrugations run parallel with the conveyor. |
| CHCS Series | CHFG Series |
 |  |
| Our CHCS series is a ¾ stationary corrugated cover. These covers are more rigid because of perpendicular corrugations. ¾ hinged are available as an option. | Our CHFG series is designed for corrosive applications such as salt or fertilizer. The cover is fiberglass reinforced plastic with stainless steel bands in full or ¾ coverage. |

Frequently Asked Questions About Conveyor Covers
What are conveyor covers used for?
Conveyor covers are used to protect conveyor belts and conveyed materials from weather, dust, debris, and environmental exposure. They also help improve workplace safety, reduce material loss, and minimize maintenance downtime in industries such as mining, aggregates, cement, and bulk material handling.
What sizes of conveyor covers are available?
RPS Engineering conveyor covers are designed to accommodate idler center spacing from 3’-0” to 5’-0” as standard. Belt width, cover span, and overall dimensions can be customized to match specific conveyor configurations and site conditions.
What materials are available for conveyor covers?
Conveyor covers are available in galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, fiberglass, and painted steel. Material selection is based on environmental conditions, corrosion exposure, temperature, and project-specific durability requirements.
What is the difference between full-coverage and 3/4-coverage conveyor covers?
Full-coverage conveyor covers fully enclose the belt to provide maximum protection from weather and contaminants.
¾-coverage conveyor covers offer partial enclosure, allowing easier inspection and access while still providing effective protection for many applications.
Can conveyor covers be customized for existing conveyors?
Yes. RPS Engineering specializes in custom conveyor cover systems for both new and existing conveyors. Our engineering team can design covers to fit specific belt widths, idler spacing, elevations, and structural constraints, including retrofit applications.
Are conveyor covers suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments?
Yes. Conveyor covers can be engineered for outdoor exposure, corrosive environments, and high-moisture applications through appropriate material selection, coatings, and fastening systems. Stainless steel and fiberglass options are commonly used in highly corrosive conditions.
Great question. Conveyor covers are typically installed directly onto existing conveyor structures using engineered mounting systems. Designs can include hinged, removable, or lift-off sections to allow maintenance access without disassembly. RPS Engineering has partners and relationships with expert installers all over the United States and North America. Contact our sales team for engineering and product selection for your project.
Do conveyor covers help with dust control and environmental compliance?
Conveyor covers can significantly reduce dust emissions and material spillage, supporting cleaner operations and helping facilities meet environmental and workplace safety requirements. Enclosure level and material selection can be tailored to dust containment needs.
What industries commonly use conveyor covers?
Conveyor covers are commonly used in:
- Mining Operations
- Aggregate Processing
- Cement Plants
- Bulk Material Handling Facilities
- Ports and Terminals
Each application may require different materials, coverage levels, and access features. RPS Engineering has deep experience in each of these industries.
How are conveyor covers installed?
How do I specify the correct conveyor cover system?
To specify the correct conveyor cover system, confirm the belt width, idler spacing, operating environment, material conveyed, and maintenance access requirements. Additional considerations may include exposure to corrosion, temperature extremes, wind or snow loads, and whether the system is a new installation or a retrofit.
RPS Engineering’s in-house engineering team can review project drawings and operating conditions to recommend the appropriate conveyor cover series, materials, and mounting configuration.
