Application-Specific Conveyor Engineering for Demanding Loads 

We don't force-fit standard equipment into complex applications. From initial flow analysis to detailed 3D modeling, our team engineers heavy-duty conveyor solutions tailored to your specific product dimensions, weights, and cycle times. 

Generic Designs Lead to Bottlenecks and Inefficiencies

Stop Force-Fitting Standards

Using "cookie-cutter" conveyors for heavy or irregular loads leads to premature failure. Light-duty designs often cannot handle the impact loading or environmental grit found in real industrial facilities, leading to constant maintenance.

Avoid Costly Layout Clashes

Poorly planned layouts result in physical obstructions with building columns or existing machinery. Without precise 3D engineering, you risk installation nightmares that require expensive on-site modifications and delay your startup.

Tailored Engineering Services That Fit Your Operation

At Industrial Kinetics, we begin every project with a detailed analysis of the customers’ specific needs and provide conveyor engineering services. This analysis includes retrieving data regarding product, rate, facility, atmosphere, and overall production goals. Using this data, we begin to lay out a solution from a product and system standpoint, as well as design a controls concept. The end result will improve throughput while optimizing floor space, and will give the customer a more reliable system to depend on.


Our conveyor engineering services also include the design and manufacture of standard, modified standard, as well as custom equipment to accommodate the customers’ specific product or application requirements. We understand that no job is the same, and we work with the best of our ability to create new concepts as well as adaptations to existing conveyor equipment with industrial conveyor system development services. 

Our Proven Process for Engineering Conveyor Systems

Gather Data / Define Objective

We define the scope by analyzing your material (weight, shape, friction) and environment (freezer, wash-down). We determine rates, elevations, and flow requirements. 

Develop Concept Solutions

We calculate throughput improvements, creating initial 2D layouts and selecting the right conveyor type (CDLR, Chain, Belt) for the application. 

Collaborate on Findings

We review concepts with your team to identify obstructions and refine the design, ensuring it meets the practical needs of your operators and maintenance staff. 

Implement

We finalize the 3D engineering and BOMs for manufacturing, ensuring a robust build that integrates seamlessly with your facility.
