| CH Series (Most Popular Fit) | CH-75 Series |
 |
 |
| The CH Series is our most popular full-coverage smooth cover — ideal for operations that need reliable belt protection at a practical price point. Fully enclosed and hinged with a locking retaining bar, it holds open for quick inspections without tools. A go-to choice for aggregate, mining, and bulk material handling facilities. | The CH-75 offers ¾ smooth coverage with a fixed 45° open side — giving you constant at-a-glance belt visibility without removing covers. Perfect for facilities where routine monitoring is part of daily operations. Hinged ¾ covers available for applications requiring full access. |
| CHCO Series | CHLC Series |
 |
 |
| Built for high-vibration and heavy-load environments, the CHCO Series uses perpendicular corrugations to deliver significantly greater structural rigidity than smooth covers. Full-coverage and hinged, it’s well-suited for cement plants, quarries, and anywhere belt loading creates stress on the cover system. | The CHLC is engineered specifically for long overland conveyors. Parallel corrugations run the length of the cover, shedding wind and weather while keeping weight low across extended runs. ¾ coverage keeps maintenance access simple — no lifting full enclosures on a 500-foot run. |
| CHCS Series | CHFG Series |
 |
 |
| The CHCS delivers the rigidity of perpendicular corrugations in a ¾ coverage profile — the best of both worlds when you need structural strength but want open-side belt access. A practical upgrade from smooth ¾ covers in dusty or high-impact environments. Hinged option available. | When your application involves salt, fertilizer, chemicals, or other corrosive materials, the CHFG is the right call. Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) construction with stainless steel bands resists rust and chemical degradation where metal covers fail. Available in full or ¾ coverage — and built to last in the harshest environments. |
| MA1-CH Full (Metso Style) The MA1-CH is RPS Engineering’s full-coverage Metso-compatible conveyor cover — designed as a direct replacement or upgrade for operations already running Metso-style systems. Same familiar profile and mounting geometry, but built to RPS’s quality standards with faster lead times and full customization options. Ideal for facilities looking to standardize their cover inventory without retooling their entire conveyor infrastructure. | MA1-CH75 (Metso Style) The MA1-CH75 brings the convenience of ¾ coverage to Metso-compatible installations. Open-side belt visibility is maintained without sacrificing the fit and form your team is already familiar with. A smart choice for operations expanding existing Metso-style systems or replacing worn covers without changing mounting hardware. |
Frequently Asked Questions About Conveyor Covers
What are conveyor covers used for?
Conveyor covers protect bulk material on moving belts from wind, rain, snow, and contamination — while also containing dust and spillage that can create environmental and safety hazards. They’re used wherever an uncovered belt would expose material to the elements, create fugitive dust, or pose a regulatory compliance risk.
What sizes of conveyor covers are available?
RPS Engineering manufactures conveyor covers for belt widths from 18″ to 96″, including large-belt configurations that most manufacturers don’t offer. Idler spacing from 3′ to 5′ is standard, with custom spacing available. If you have an unusual belt width or non-standard spacing, contact our design team — we build to your exact specifications.
What materials are available for conveyor covers?
We offer five material options: galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), and painted steel. The right choice depends on your environment, budget, and the materials being conveyed. For corrosive applications such as salt, fertilizer, or chemicals, we recommend our FRP or stainless steel options.
Can conveyor covers be customized for existing conveyors?
Yes. RPS covers are custom-built to fit your existing belt width, idler spacing, and structural conditions. Whether you’re retrofitting an aging system or specifying covers for a new installation, our design team works directly with you to ensure a proper fit — no matter the manufacturer of your conveyor.
Are conveyor covers suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments?
Absolutely. Our covers are designed for demanding outdoor conditions including high winds, heavy precipitation, and temperature extremes. For highly corrosive environments — such as coastal facilities, fertilizer plants, or chemical processing operations — we offer fiberglass (FRP) and stainless steel options that resist rust and chemical degradation far longer than standard steel. Contact our experts for any questions and warranties for your project.
Do conveyor covers help with dust control and environmental compliance?
Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons customers come to us. Conveyor covers significantly reduce fugitive dust emissions, helping operations meet EPA and OSHA regulations as well as local air quality standards. Enclosed belt systems also reduce material loss during transport, which can translate directly to cost savings over time.
What industries commonly use conveyor covers?
Conveyor covers are used wherever bulk materials are transported on open belts. RPS serves a wide range of industries including mining and aggregate operations, cement and concrete plants, bulk material handling terminals, ports and intermodal facilities, food processing plants, and wastewater treatment facilities. If your operation moves material on a belt, there’s likely a cover solution that fits.
- Mining Operations
- Aggregate Processing
- Cement Plants
- Bulk Material Handling Facilities
- Ports and Terminals
How are conveyor covers installed?
RPS covers are designed for straightforward field installation by your maintenance crew. Each cover system includes detailed installation instructions, and our team is available to answer technical questions throughout the process. For large or complex installations, we recommend reviewing our Installation Instructions page before beginning.
How do I specify the correct conveyor cover system?
To specify the right cover, you’ll need your belt width, idler spacing, and a sense of the environmental conditions at your site. Material type, expected wind and weather exposure, and whether you need hinged access are also important factors. If you’re unsure, our design team can walk you through the selection process — just reach out via the contact form or call us at 847-931-1950.
