Flexible Connector Solutions for Aggregate Processing Operations

Aggregate processing — sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, and similar materials — demands equipment that can take a beating. The materials are heavy, often angular and abrasive, and processed in high volumes through screening, conveying, and classification systems that run around the clock.


Siftex manufactures custom flexible connectors purpose-built for the aggregate industry. Whether you're running a quarry operation, a ready-mix supply facility, or a specialty aggregate producer, our connectors are engineered to withstand the abrasive wear and constant movement of aggregate processing while maintaining the seal integrity you need to control dust and keep your equipment running at full capacity.

Connectors That Match the Toughness of Your Operation

Aggregate operations don't slow down — and neither should your connectors. Screeners, conveyors, and transfer chutes in aggregate plants move enormous volumes of abrasive material under significant mechanical stress. A standard connector that works fine in lighter-duty applications simply won't last in this environment.


Siftex has worked with aggregate producers and the OEM manufacturers that build aggregate processing equipment to develop connector solutions that deliver real service life under real conditions. We select materials for abrasion resistance first, then optimize for dust containment, ease of replacement, and fit.

Siftex for aggregate operations delivers:

High-abrasion connector materials — ballistic nylon, heavy rubber, and vinyl-coated polyester — designed for long service life

Dust-tight seals to contain fine aggregate dust at screener decks, conveyor transfers, and discharge chutes

Custom sizing for any connection geometry — round, square, rectangular, or tapered

OEM partnerships for equipment manufacturers serving the aggregate processing market

Fast turnaround to minimize time off-line during planned and unplanned maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Siftex products are most commonly used in aggregate processing?

    The most common applications in aggregate processing are screener connectors (connecting the screener feed and discharge points to the surrounding structure or conveying system) and conveyor transfer chute connectors. For these applications, we typically use heavy-duty sewn connectors in abrasion-resistant fabrics like ballistic nylon or vinyl-coated polyester.

  • How do you size a connector for a screener in an aggregate plant?

    We build to your exact dimensions — inlet size, outlet size, body length, and attachment method. If you can provide drawings or measurements, we can produce a connector that fits your equipment precisely. We can also work from samples of your existing connectors if you're looking for a direct replacement.

  • Can Siftex connectors handle angular or sharp aggregate materials without tearing?

    Yes. Material selection is critical in aggregate applications because angular stone and gravel can be particularly punishing on connector fabric. We select materials with high tear and puncture resistance for these conditions, and our team will confirm the right choice for your specific aggregate type.

  • Do you work with screener OEMs that serve the aggregate market?

    Yes. We partner with OEM equipment manufacturers to supply connectors that are incorporated into new screening and processing equipment. If you're an OEM looking for a reliable, scalable connector supplier for your aggregate equipment line, we'd love to talk.

  • How often do aggregate processing connectors typically need to be replaced?

    It depends on the material type, throughput volume, and the specific connector location. Connectors at high-impact transfer points or on fine material screening decks may wear faster than those on coarser material discharge points. Our team can help you understand realistic replacement intervals for your application.
