Conveyor Systems
From stockpile stackers to overland systems — conveyor solutions for every application. Authorized Kafka Conveyors & Equipment dealer for Indiana & Kentucky.
Stacking Conveyors
Radial and telescoping stackers that maximize stockpile capacity and reduce material handling costs. Stacking conveyors eliminate the need for loaders to build stockpiles — saving fuel, labor, and time while building larger, more organized stockpiles.
How to Choose the Right Radial Stacker..?
TPH
Match stacker capacity to plant output so stockpiling never becomes the bottleneck.
Common lengths
60', 80', 100', 120' — choose based on footprint, stockpile size, and move frequency.
Radial vs fixed
Radial builds larger piles with less loader work; fixed can fit tight layouts and point-to-point needs.
Electric vs diesel/hydraulic
Electric for lower operating cost when power is available; diesel/hydraulic for remote or portable spreads.
Road-portable vs in-pit
Road-portable for highway transport between job sites; in-pit for repositioning within the pit to different locations inside your operation.
Manual vs powered travel
Powered travel saves labor and speeds repositioning; manual can be a cost-effective fit for lighter duty.
Common Radial Stacker Lengths (60', 80', 100', 120')
60'
Great for tight sites, smaller spreads, and frequent moves.
80'
A versatile all-around length for many aggregate operations.
100'
More stockpile capacity and less loader work on higher throughput.
120'
Maximum stockpile capacity for high-volume operations and larger footprints.
Key Features
- Radial travel for maximum stockpile capacity
- Eliminates loader handling for stockpile building
- Available in multiple lengths and capacities
- Road portable options for multi-site operations
Portable Conveyors
Mobile conveyor systems designed for quick setup and relocation between job sites. Portable conveyors give you the flexibility to move material efficiently wherever the work takes you.
Key Features
- Quick setup and teardown for fast mobilization
- Highway-towable configurations
- Heavy-duty construction for demanding applications
- Multiple length and width options
Transfer Conveyors
Durable transfer systems engineered to move material efficiently between processing stages. Transfer conveyors are the backbone of any multi-stage processing plant — connecting crushers, screens, and stockpiles with reliable material flow.
Key Features
- Connects processing stages for continuous flow
- Heavy-duty frames and components
- Available in portable and stationary configurations
- Custom lengths and configurations available
Overland Conveyors
Long-distance conveyor systems for moving material across your site with minimal handling. Overland conveyors reduce truck traffic, lower fuel costs, and provide a continuous, reliable material transport solution over long distances.
Key Features
- Long-distance material transport
- Reduces truck traffic and fuel costs
- Engineered for terrain and elevation changes
- Low operating cost per ton moved
Radial Stacker FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions we hear when producers are selecting a radial stacking conveyor.
What length radial stacker do I need — 60', 80', 100', or 120'?
It depends on your stockpile size target, available footprint, and how often you relocate. 60'–80' units are common for tighter sites and frequent moves. 100'–120' units maximize stockpile capacity and reduce loader work on higher-tonnage operations.
How do I size a radial stacker for TPH?
We look at your target tons per hour, material type, belt width, and speed. Matching stacker capacity to your plant output prevents bottlenecks and keeps your stockpile operation efficient.
Radial vs. fixed stacker — what's the difference?
Radial stackers swing to build larger stockpiles with less loader handling. Fixed stackers are simpler and can be a fit when space is limited or when you're feeding a specific point consistently.
Electric vs. diesel/hydraulic — which is better?
Electric is great when you have power available and want lower operating cost and simpler maintenance. Diesel/hydraulic is often chosen for remote sites, portable spreads, or when power access is limited.
Road-portable vs. in-pit radial stacker — which should I choose?
Road-portable units are designed for highway transport and frequent moves between different job sites. In-pit stackers are relocatable within the pit itself — they can be moved to different positions inside the operation but aren't built for over-the-road transport.
Manual vs. powered radial travel — what matters?
Powered travel reduces labor and makes repositioning easier, especially on larger units or when you reposition frequently. Manual travel can be a cost-effective option for smaller units or less frequent moves.
