Services
Dust Collectors
Our dust collection systems control airborne particulates in industrial environments. Using cyclonic separators and cartridge filters, we design solutions for wood products, minerals processing, and food & beverage applications. Systems comply with OSHA safety standards while maintaining operational efficiency.
Metal Detection
Xtreme metal detection systems identify and remove metallic contaminants from material streams. We supply tunnel detectors and gravity-fed systems for plastics, packaging, and food processing industries. Our solutions prevent equipment damage and ensure product purity.
Mixers
Batch and continuous mixers ensure homogeneous material combinations. Our portfolio includes pneumatic mixers for food processing and high-shear mixers for chemical applications. Systems integrate with existing production lines for seamless operation.
Conveyors
Mechanical conveying systems move bulk materials through production lines. We engineer belt conveyors for aggregates and tubular drag conveyors for food-grade environments. Solutions prioritize throughput efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements.
Crushers
Industrial crushers process raw materials into manageable particles. Our cage mills and hammer mills handle minerals, wood waste, and chemical compounds. Systems balance throughput capacity with precise particle size control for downstream processing.
