Industrial

Equipment that runs, not parts that sit

Industrial process equipment fails differently from structural steel. It runs hot, it runs continuously, something abrasive moves through it, and when it stops a production line stops with it.

We build industrial furnace equipment, conveyor systems, RDF feed equipment, clarifier systems and process equipment. All of it engineered in house before anything is cut.

Big enough to need segmenting

The molten salt bath systems are the example worth reading. Over 100 feet long and 20 feet tall, built in segments over three and a half to four months, because there is no other way to deliver something that size.

That kind of work needs the assembly space to do it, roughly 100 feet of bay length under a gantry crane, and the engineering to guarantee the segments align when they are joined on site. Full account on the molten salt bath systems page.

Where the upfront engineering pays

Process equipment is usually specified by what it must achieve rather than what it must look like: a throughput, a temperature, a material to handle, a footprint to fit. That is the design-build case exactly. Our licensed professional engineers model the machine’s loads, thermal behaviour and part count before the first plate is cut, and savings found at the design stage are worth more than any available later.

Engineering headcount left a great many OEMs over the past two decades, so that analysis now sits with the supplier. If your own group no longer has capacity for it, ours does.

Finished for the environment it runs in

Industrial equipment lives somewhere hot, wet, dusty or corrosive. The coating is not cosmetic.

We coat our own work in our own paint booth at our second Michigan facility, so the finish is applied and inspected by the same organization that welded the assembly, not by an outside coater working from a note on a drawing.
