Leading the Way in Dry Bulk Material Handling

No two processing challenges are the same — and neither is any piece of Carrier equipment.

Every machine Carrier Vibrating Equipment builds is custom-engineered from the ground up for your specific material, your throughput, and your process. Whether you need to convey, feed, screen, dry, cool, elevate, or separate, Carrier has a solution — and it's designed specifically for you, not pulled from a catalogue.

Their capabilities span the full processing chain: fluid bed dryers and coolers, vibrating conveyors and feeders, screeners, spiral elevators, shakeouts, lump breakers, and more. And they back every machine with a state-of-the-art test lab — so your equipment is proven to perform before it ever reaches your floor.

From initial design through installation, aftermarket parts, and ongoing field service, Carrier stays with you for the life of the equipment. They serve some of the most demanding industries in the world — chemicals, food and dairy, foundry, mining, plastics, lithium-ion battery materials, sand and aggregates, and more — because their engineered-to-order approach means every machine fits the application precisely.

If you have a processing problem, let's talk. Carrier has been solving them for over 70 years.

Moving dry bulk material doesn't have to be complicated — but getting it wrong is costly.

Pneumatic conveying is one of the most efficient ways to transfer dry bulk materials. It works simply: air pressure or vacuum moves material through a fully enclosed pipeline, keeping product contained, contamination-free, and flowing where you need it.

The critical question isn't whether to use pneumatic conveying — it's which phase is right for your material. Get that wrong and you're looking at degraded product, excessive wear, or a system that simply won't perform.

That's where we come in. Cyclonaire designs and engineers customized systems across three conveying phases:

• Dense phase — slow-moving, high-pressure transfer, ideal for fragile or abrasive materials
• Semi-dense phase — the middle ground, balancing efficiency and material protection
• Dilute phase — high-velocity suspension, best for lightweight, non-fragile materials

Matching the right phase to your material — factoring in particle size, bulk density, moisture content, and more — is exactly what Cyclonaire specializes in. They don't sell a one-size-fits-all system; they solve your specific application, from concept through commissioning and beyond.

Let's talk about what you're moving, and we'll find the right solution together.

Thermal processing is one of those areas where getting it wrong is expensive — and Heyl Patterson Thermal Processing has spent over a century making sure their customers get it right.

Whether your material needs to be dried, cooled, calcined, or thermally processed under tightly controlled conditions, Heyl Patterson engineers a solution around it. Their equipment line covers the full range:

• Rotary dryers & coolers — for the broadest range of materials, including liquid sludges
• Fluid bed dryers, coolers & calciners — for free-flowing bulk solids requiring maximum thermal efficiency
• Flash dryers & coolers — for rapid, high-capacity processing
• Rotary calciners — for high-temperature, controlled-environment processing with zoned temperature control and chemical reaction capability
• MultiDisc Thermal Processors — a cost-effective conduction-convection approach for low-to-medium temperature indirect drying, heating, and cooling

What sets them apart is their Innovation Center and pilot testing lab — your material gets tested on full production equipment before you commit to a system. That's not common in this industry, and it dramatically reduces project risk.

They serve chemicals, fertilizer, minerals, biomass, lithium-ion battery materials, sand and aggregates, waste and recycling, and more — and as part of CPEG, they can also pull in conveyors, dust collectors, mixers, and wet scrubbers to deliver a complete production line, not just a single machine.

If your process involves heat — or the removal of it — let's talk about what Heyl Patterson can do for you.

Moving bulk material efficiently isn't a one-size-fits-all problem — and Thomas Conveyor has known that since 1953.

Thomas designs and manufactures complete conveyor systems built around your application, your material, and your throughput requirements.

When S. Howes says their equipment is built to last, they mean it — they have machines in the field that have been running for 75 years.

S. Howes designs and manufactures custom powder and bulk solids processing equipment from their facility in Silver Creek, New York. Every machine is American-made, built to your specific application, and engineered to handle the full processing chain — mixing, conveying, screening, size reduction, filtration, and thermal processing, all under one roof.

Their equipment lineup covers it all:

• Mixers — ribbon, paddle, plough, and custom configurations
• Screw conveyors & feeders — split tube, tubular, and U-trough designs
• Screeners & sifters — vibratory or rotary, including air finishers and shakers
• Size reduction — lump breakers, knife cutters, granulators, and power graters
• Filtration — tubular and pressure leaf filters for liquid-solid separation
• Thermal processors — heating and cooling integrated into process equipment

Not sure which solution fits your material? Their CPEG Innovation Center and test lab lets you run your actual product through the equipment before you buy — so you're not guessing when it matters most. And if you need equipment on a shorter timeline, rental units are available.

They serve food and pet food, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, chemicals, biomass, forest products, minerals, oil and gas, lithium-ion battery materials, waste and recycling, and more.

If it's a powder or a bulk solid and it needs to be mixed, moved, screened, or reduced — S. Howes has been the answer since 1888. Let's find the right solution for your process.

Most bulk handling problems aren't one machine deep — and Erie Technical Systems is built to solve the whole challenge, not just part of it.

Founded by a patented engineer who saw a better way to handle dry bulk solids, Erie Technical Systems has grown from a garage startup into a 50,000-square-foot US manufacturer serving chemicals, food, mining, raw materials, plastics, and more. Every system is custom-designed around your specific application — not pulled from a standard catalogue.

Their product line covers the complete bulk handling workflow:

• Unloading — UltiMAX® bulk bag unloaders, container dumpers, bag break stations, and bulk bag conditioners to get material out of the container cleanly and safely
• Filling — a full range from the simple DustMax™ filler to the fully integrated SysteMAX™ system with automated palletizing, slip sheet dispensing, and vibratory densification
• Transfer — FlexMAX® flexible screw conveyors, vibratory conveyors and feeders, spiral elevators, and chain-driven roller conveyors to move material wherever it needs to go

Not sure if the solution will work for your material? They have a test lab and rental equipment available, so you can validate before you commit.

Three things drive everything they do: personalization (every solution is tailored to your application), professionalism (consistent accountability from first call to final installation), and precision (systems that operate efficiently and dependably, long after the sale).

If your process involves dry bulk solids going in, moving through, or going out — let's talk about what Erie Technical Systems can build for you.

One piece of tramp metal in the wrong place can damage a crusher, contaminate a food batch, or shut down a production line. Dings Co. Magnetic Group has been preventing exactly that since 1899.

Engineered and manufactured in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Dings builds a complete line of industrial magnetic separation equipment — and they've been doing it longer than virtually anyone else in the industry. Their patented designs are trusted by quarries, recyclers, miners, food processors, grain mills, foundries, wood processors, and airport and highway infrastructure operations around the world.

Their product line covers every metal separation need:

• Overhead electromagnets and permanent magnets — suspended over conveyors to continuously pull ferrous metal from product streams
• Eddy current separators — for recovering non-ferrous metals like aluminum from mixed material flows
• Magnetic drums and head pulleys — integrated directly into conveyor systems for continuous, automatic separation
• Grate and ferroplate magnets — for capturing fine ferrous particles from gravity-fed or pipeline flows
• Metal detectors — for applications requiring detection rather than separation
• Magnetic sweepers, lifting magnets, and custom solutions — for specialized applications from rendering plants to grain elevators

What sets Dings apart is their patented Flux Control (DFC) Circuit Design — a permanent magnet architecture that eliminates internal magnetic leakage, extends field depth, and delivers a stronger, more uniform separation pattern. They back it with a lifetime guarantee on magnetism for their overhead permanent magnets. That's not a warranty you see often.

Engineering, manufacturing, and sales are all under one roof in Milwaukee — which means faster answers and a team that truly knows the product.

If metal is showing up where it shouldn't, let's talk about what Dings can do to stop it.

Magnets catch ferrous metal. But stainless steel, aluminum, and non-magnetic tramp metal? That takes a metal detector — and not all detectors are built the same.

Advanced Detection Systems has been manufacturing industrial metal detection equipment in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for over 30 years, with a reputation built on one thing: finding metal that others miss, reliably, in the toughest production environments.

Their two core platforms cover virtually every application:

• ProScan — designed for food processing and packaging, available as conveyor systems (including IP69K washdown-rated and packaged product configurations), gravity drop systems for free-falling product streams, and pipeline systems for pumped products
• SurroundScan — built for heavy industrial applications like mining, quarry, recycling, rubber, plastics, and wood processing, with models ranging from the Protector LP for light-duty use to the Protector HD Ultra for the most demanding environments

What separates ADS from the competition is the technology inside the box:

• Patented vibration immunity — maintains detection performance even in high-vibration environments where other detectors false-trip constantly
• Patented Auto-Balance software — keeps the detector's coil assembly in perfect balance over time, preventing sensitivity drift
• AccuLearn technology — learns your product's characteristics in as few as two passes and eliminates false rejects
• Guaranteed sensitivity — every unit comes with a written Sensitivity Guarantee based on free product testing of your actual material

They also offer a stock/loaner program, field service, verification service, and certified test wands — so you're covered long after installation.

If metal in your product or process is a risk you can't afford, let's talk about what Advanced Detection Systems can do to eliminate it.

Dry bulk solids don't always cooperate — and the equipment controlling them has to be engineered for the specific material, environment, and application. PEBCO® has been doing exactly that for over 40 years.

Based in Paducah, Kentucky, PEBCO® designs and manufactures a complete line of dry bulk solids handling equipment — standard products ready to install, and fully custom solutions when standard isn't enough. Their engineers have seen virtually every material handling challenge imaginable, and when they haven't, they've invented something new to solve it.

Their product families cover the full handling chain:

• Slide gates & valves — precision flow control for shutoff, throttling, and isolation
• Diverters — directing material flow from one path to multiple destinations
• Dustless loading spouts, chutes & positioners — controlled, contained loading of trucks, railcars, ships, and storage
• Fluidized conveying (air slide) equipment — low-energy, gentle movement of fine powders using air
• Dust suppression systems — fog and suppression solutions to keep transfer points in compliance
• Mass flow feeders — accurate, consistent material metering
• Complete loading systems — integrated batch and continuous loading solutions
• Hydraulic power units and controls & automation — the actuation and intelligence behind the equipment

Every product can be built with the right materials for the job — carbon steel, stainless, Inconel®, Monel®, ceramic liners, Tivar®, Teflon® — and actuated manually, electrically, pneumatically, or hydraulically. Electrical components meet NEMA 4 minimum, with full hazardous duty and international classification options available.

Their customers include cement, coal, iron ore, steel, chemical, plastics, aggregate, grain, fertilizer, food, pet food, potash, and clay operations — anywhere dry bulk solids need to be controlled precisely and reliably.

Downtime isn't productive time — and PEBCO® builds equipment so you don't have to experience it. Let's talk about your application.

Drying, evaporating, distilling, and separating challenging materials takes more than off-the-shelf equipment — it takes engineers who understand your process deeply. That's exactly what Buflovak delivers.

With over a century of experience, Buflovak designs and manufactures thermal drying, solidification, evaporation, distillation, and separation equipment trusted worldwide in food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and environmental processing. Their equipment handles some of the most demanding applications in industry — from drum drying heat-sensitive food products to vacuum drying pharmaceuticals to distilling and separating complex chemical streams.

Their two core solution families cover the full thermal processing spectrum:

• Thermal drying & solidification — drum dryers, vacuum dryers, cooling flakers, and custom thermal processing equipment for converting liquids and slurries into dry, solid, or flaked products
• Evaporation, distillation & separation — evaporators, stills, crystallizers, and separating machines for concentrating, purifying, and recovering valuable materials from liquid streams

What makes Buflovak genuinely different is their dedicated product engineer model — every customer gets a single engineer assigned to manage their project from initial concept and design through manufacturing, installation, and startup. That's accountability you can't get from a catalogue supplier.

Before any equipment is built, your material can be tested in their state-of-the-art lab to validate designs, solve process challenges, and produce representative product samples — eliminating guesswork and reducing project risk. And after installation, their aftermarket team provides spare parts, field service, and even drum reconditioning to keep equipment running long-term.

As part of CPEG, Buflovak can also draw on calciners, blenders, vibratory fluid beds, and baghouses to deliver a complete production line when your process demands it.

If your process involves removing moisture, concentrating a liquid, solidifying a melt, or separating a mixture — Buflovak has solved that problem before. Let's talk about yours.

When your product is a pharmaceutical, a nutraceutical, or a food ingredient, an inconsistent blend isn't just a quality problem — it's a compliance problem. Patterson Kelley (PK) has been engineering blending and powder processing equipment to the precision those industries demand.

PK designs and manufactures industrial blenders, vacuum dryers, and powder processing systems for applications where uniformity, hygiene, and repeatability aren't optional. Their equipment handles tumble blending, intensified blending, liquid-solid blending, wet granulation, and drying — in batch or continuous modes, and in some cases all within a single pot processor.

Their product lineup covers the full blending and drying workflow:

• V (vee) blenders and twin shell dry blenders — gentle tumble blending for free-flowing powders requiring minimal shear
• Double cone blenders — symmetrical, low-maintenance blending for batch processing
• Continuous blenders — for high-throughput production with consistent output
• Multi-Vessel Processors (MVP) — flexible platforms combining tumble blending, intensified blending, and liquid-solid blending in one system
• Tubular vacuum dryers and solids processors — for drying thermally sensitive or hygroscopic materials under vacuum, with multiple vessel size options
• PK Blendmaster and lab blenders — bench-scale equipment for R&D, formulation development, and process validation

Before committing to production equipment, customers can test their material in PK's fully equipped lab — which includes the complete PK line plus evaporation, distillation, drying, and flaking units to replicate a full process line. Rental equipment is also available for single-job runs and on-site testing.

Every project comes with a dedicated product and project engineer managing the solution from concept through installation and startup. Parts orders are processed within 24 hours, with inventory on hand for quick delivery.

As part of CPEG, PK can also integrate calciners, conveyors, vibratory fluid beds, and baghouses for customers who need a complete production system, not just a single machine.

They serve pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, chemicals, foods, metal powders, plastics, ceramics, cosmetics, and soaps.

If your powder needs to be blended precisely, dried gently, or processed consistently at any scale — PK has the equipment and the engineers to make it happen. Let's talk.

Industrial dust isn't just a housekeeping issue — it's a safety hazard, a regulatory liability, and in some environments, an explosion risk. Air-Cure has been solving all three for over 60 years.

Based in Minneapolis, Air-Cure is a single-source partner for dust collection and process filtration — designing, manufacturing, installing, and servicing complete systems for some of the most demanding industrial environments in the world, including hazardous, harsh, and remote locations.

Their core capabilities cover the full dust control chain:

• Filter technologies — proprietary filter designs engineered for the specific dust, temperature, and airflow of your application
• Dust system design — complete system engineering from airflow analysis and hood design through ductwork, collector sizing, and controls
• Dust disposal — systems for collecting, conveying, and disposing of captured dust safely and efficiently
• Washdown — designed-in cleanability for industries where contamination control is critical

They serve mining, metallurgy, and minerals operations; power generation facilities; agriculture; wood and forestry processing; and general industrial process applications — including hazardous locations where standard off-the-shelf collectors simply can't go.

What distinguishes Air-Cure is their focus — this is all they do. They aren't a general equipment company that happens to offer dust collection. They've spent six decades developing proprietary technology, engineering expertise, and field experience specifically in dust filtration and control. That depth shows up in system performance, compliance outcomes, and long-term reliability.

Their service team handles everything after installation too — maintenance, replacement parts, and custom fabrication when a standard part won't do.

If dust in your facility is creating a safety risk, a compliance headache, or both, let's talk about what Air-Cure can do to fix it.

Finding the right expansion joint or custom ductwork for a cement plant, mine, power facility, or manufacturing operation shouldn't require chasing down three vendors, waiting weeks for a quote, and hoping the spec is right. Main Street Industrial exists to make that process effortless.

Most pump manufacturers build for normal conditions. Nagle Pumps specializes in everything else.

For over 70 years, Nagle has built heavy-duty pumps specifically for the applications that wear out, corrode, or overheat standard equipment — abrasive slurries, corrosive chemicals, high-temperature molten materials, and everything in between. Their philosophy is "Endurance Engineering": designing pumps to deliver the longest service life with minimum maintenance, even in conditions that are genuinely punishing.

Every Nagle pump is custom-engineered — selecting the right design, components, and materials of construction for your specific application. Their lineup covers four proven configurations:

• Vertical cantilever pumps — true cantilever shaft design with no submerged bearings, bushings, packing, or seals below the mounting plate, making them ideal for highly abrasive or corrosive sumps where submerged components would quickly fail
• Vertical submersible pumps — handles a wide range of abrasive and corrosive applications without requiring headroom, mounting pedestals, or long column pipes, saving space and installation cost
• Vertical submerged bearing pumps — designed for wet pit slurry handling with easy maintenance, available with top or bottom suction
• Horizontal heavy-duty pumps — compact enclosed bearing frame design with large-passage impellers for maximum solids handling and reduced wear

They've built thousands of installations across mining (heavy media, tailings, dredging, dewatering), power generation (ash sluice, coal handling, scrubber water), chemical and petrochemical processing, steel mills (scale removal, slag quench, coke slurry), sand and gravel, petroleum, and general industrial — ceramics, paper, sugar, phosphate, and more.

If your application involves molten salts, ammonium nitrate, molten sulphur, or molten lead, Nagle has pumps engineered for those conditions too — applications most manufacturers won't even quote.

If you've been replacing pumps too often because the fluid is too aggressive, too hot, or too abrasive for standard equipment — let's talk about what Nagle can do instead.

If you're conveying plastic pellets pneumatically, you know angel hair. The fine strands and streamers that form when pellets drag against pipe walls — contaminating product, clogging lines, and wearing out your piping faster than it should.

Delta Ducon's SPIRA/flo pipe is the original engineered solution to that problem, and after 25+ years of installations still running without retreatment, it remains the best one.

Here's what makes it different from shot peening or imitation grooved pipe:

The process matters. SPIRA/flo uses a unique internal grooving method that displaces metal rather than cutting or abrading it. This creates precise ridges and valleys along the pipe interior that disrupt airflow, pushing pellets away from the pipe wall — eliminating the friction that causes angel hair in the first place. Competitors who've tried to copy it use cut grooves, which leave jagged edges that actually damage pellets and increase dust production.

Shot peening can't keep up. The abrasive nature of pellet conveying wears away shot-peened surfaces, requiring frequent and costly retreatment. SPIRA/flo installations have been running continuously for over 25 years with no retreatment needed.

The numbers are straightforward:

• Eliminates angel hairs, streamers, and material buildup
• Extends pipe life significantly over untreated or shot-peened pipe
• No additional pressure drop or horsepower requirements — it's a drop-in solution
• Available in aluminum and stainless steel, 2" through 8"
• Backed by a 5-year warranty on straight sections
• Made in the USA

If angel hair is a recurring problem in your pneumatic conveying system, SPIRA/flo is the fix — and it's one you'll only have to make once. Let's get you a quote.
