🛠️ Retrofitting for Performance & Cost Savings

We help our customers reduce operational expenses by improving existing equipment — increasing productivity while avoiding the cost of full system replacements.

Project: Vibratory Feeder & Load Zone

Project No.: PJ15-016
Industry: Manufacturing
Material: Roofing / Asphalt Granules

Customer Challenges:

  • Excessive dust in the load zone

  • Spillage at the conveyor tail

  • Material build-up causing premature component wear

Our Solution:

  • Conducted 3D laser scan of site

  • Delivered concept drawings and 3D models

  • Provided full design drawings, overlaid with scan data for precision

  • Created parts list for procurement

  • Fabricated custom vibratory feeder & load zone

  • Provided installation guidance and remote support

ROI Highlights:

  • Reduced splash loading by centering material load

  • Extended load zone minimized dust and spillage

  • Cut labor costs with reduced cleanup

  • Increased uptime and operational efficiency

Project: Transfer Chute System

Project No.: PJ13-033
Industry: Power Generation
Material: Petroleum Coke

Customer Challenges:

  • Needed a temporary transfer system to integrate with existing equipment

  • Required precise delivery with minimal dust or spillage

  • Design had to be adaptable to a permanent future system

Our Solution:

  • Completed site survey and discovery

  • Performed 3D laser scanning and DEM flow analysis

  • Designed system using 3D solid modeling

  • Checked new design fit against existing structures using scan overlays

  • Created a visual site viewer for stakeholder review

  • Fabricated and pre-assembled system components before scheduled outage

  • Supported exact-fit installation during outage window

ROI Highlights:

  • Early identification of structural interferences saved outage time

  • 2-hour installation with zero fit-up issues

  • Dust and fugitive material controlled to acceptable levels

  • No additional maintenance required post-install

Project: Conveyor Drive & Motor Upgrade

Project No.: PJ15-061
Industry: Power Generation
Material: Limestone

Customer Challenges:
