How to move raw sugar over quarter mile as part of a sugar processing facility?  And throw in the hot, humid tropical environment of Guatemala. We fabricated and shipped out a 1200 ft. enclosed air ride belt pipe conveyor system to for the Cargill Corporation.  The customer handled the on-site installation of the entire conveyor, chute, hopper and transfer components.  The project required an exceptional amount of manufacturing engineering to enable the relatively low tolerances required. The pipe housing and plenum base were  manufactured of 10 ga. carbon steel supporting 16" diameter Schedule 40 pipe.  Our engineers designed special fixtures to attach to the ends of each unit so the manufacturing team could have 360* access to all areas of the unit for welding, grinding, drilling, sandblasting and powder coating.
