Bulk Material Conveying Systems

Efficient bulk material conveying is the backbone of industrial production, ensuring raw materials and finished products move reliably from one stage of the process to the next. IAC designs and supplies both mechanical and pneumatic conveying systems that deliver consistent performance, minimize dust emissions, and integrate seamlessly with storage silos, loadout facilities, and air pollution control equipment.

As a vertically integrated EPC contractor and OEM, IAC provides turnkey solutions—from concept and engineering to fabrication, installation, and commissioning. Whether your facility requires a single conveyor retrofit or a complete bulk handling network, our systems are custom-engineered for throughput, safety, and compliance.

Types of Conveying Systems

IAC designs and installs a wide range of bulk material conveying systems, engineered to handle challenging materials and demanding production environments. Our portfolio includes both mechanical and pneumatic technologies, allowing us to recommend the most efficient solution based on material characteristics, throughput goals, and plant layout.

Mechanical Conveying

Belt conveyors for high-capacity transport over long distances
Screw conveyors for reliable enclosed handling of powders and granules
Bucket elevators for vertical lifting of bulk solids
Airslides, flow assisters, and stackers for efficient movement of fine materials

Pneumatic Conveying

Dilute phase systems for light, fine powders
Dense and semi-dense phase systems for abrasive or fragile materials
Pressure and vacuum conveying options tailored to plant needs
Blower packages, piping, valves, and filter receivers for complete system integration

Each system is engineered for safety, compliance, and long-term reliability, ensuring efficient material flow while protecting equipment and workers.

Integrated Bulk Material Handling Solutions

Bulk material conveying rarely operates in isolation. At IAC, we engineer conveying systems as part of a complete bulk handling network that connects storage silos, domes, loadout facilities, and dust collection systems. This integrated approach ensures efficient material flow, reduces spillage, and keeps operations compliant with safety and environmental standards.

Key capabilities include:

Receiving, unloading, and transfer point design for rail, truck, or barge systems
Integration with baghouses, bin vents, and cyclones to control fugitive dust emissions
Explosion protection and NFPA-compliant designs for combustible dust handling
Automated controls for weighing, batching, and monitoring to optimize plant performance

By combining conveying with storage, dust control, and automation, IAC delivers streamlined systems that maximize uptime and minimize operating costs.

Engineering & Customization

Every bulk material conveying project begins with a clear understanding of the material being handled and the operational demands of the facility. IAC’s in-house team of structural, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers develops solutions that are tailored to each application.

Our engineering capabilities include:

3D modeling and system integration for accurate plant layouts and retrofits
CFD analysis to optimize airflow and reduce dust accumulation
Customized piping, valves, and transfer points to minimize wear and maintenance
Automation and control tie-ins for seamless operation with existing plant systems

Whether designing a new conveying line or upgrading an aging system, IAC delivers solutions that balance throughput, safety, and efficiency while supporting long-term plant reliability.
