Material Conveying is all about efficiency. But you’ve probably coped with conveying’s hidden costs:
- Planned production shutdowns for system maintenance
- Unplanned shutdowns due to equipment failure
- Product waste from conveying wrong material to the wrong receiver
- Maintenance cost to clean angel hair, dust, snakeskins, etc. from conveying lines
- Labor pains exacerbated by training on new equipment
- Planning and managing a greenfield or brownfield install
With the right conveying system, you’ll minimize product imperfection, equipment failure, production downtime and ongoing maintenance costs. But it takes more than just installing new equipment. You need a system designed by experts who understand your facility footprint and unique production parameters.

Conveying with Conair
-
Leverage our expertise early and often.
Our 12-person project management team has an average of 15 years of experience in designing and installing plastics processing systems. You can work directly with an expert project manager and a team of engineers to make sure your new material handling system is perfect for your facility, whether you’re a greenfield, brownfield or just in need of an upgrade. Let us manage installation, implementation and startup — we’ll even train your employees on the equipment and our common human-machine interface (HMI).

Reduce angel hair, snakeskins and dust. Increase equipment longevity and efficiency.
Conair’s patented Wave Conveying technology solves problems associated with dilute-phase conveying simply, using standard components and ingenuity. A long distance, deep vacuum pump and variable frequency drive combine with smarter controls to convey dense slugs of material at tightly controlled velocity. When you reduce your material velocity from 5,000 ft/min to 500 ft/min, you see:
- An overnight change in the quality of material entering production
- Increased throughput
- Clearer dust traps (less maintenance)
- Noticeable lack of debris like angel hair or snakeskin
- Dramatically reduced equipment wear
The solution’s simplicity means you can install an ideal system without losing easy access to parts or struggling with integration into your current equipment. If you need a quick fix on a budget, we can even retrofit your current equipment.
It’s built for any and every facility, with the goal of minimizing equipment failure and required maintenance while increasing material throughput and equipment lifespan across the entire plastics industry. A vacuum pump makes it work. Standard components make it affordable.

Error-proof conveying the simple way.
Mistakes happen, and when it comes to conveying, they can be costly. Stop letting simple mistakes cost you big time. An RFID line proofing solution allows you to error-proof conveying without requiring mile-long checklists, bloated quality control procedures or a mess of confusing connectors.
-
Stop fighting downtime with downtime.
Conveying equipment failure cripples your entire production, and the costs of unplanned shutdowns and added regular maintenance stack up quickly.
There’s a better way to reduce equipment failure risk. Installing right-fit equipment for your facility and implementing it the right way minimizes unplanned shutdowns and lightens your ongoing maintenance load. Abrasive material? Soft, fragile material? Extra-long conveying distance? Implement a system and process custom-designed for your facility and application.
If you just need new equipment to slot into your current line, take advantage of our Uptime Guarantee and ensure you’re getting right-fit equipment that exceeds your current performance.

What makes the perfect conveying system?
The perfect conveying system is:
- Designed to provide your desired throughput with the lowest possible material velocity
- Built with materials that last and parts that make maintenance simple
- Customized for your process and with your business in mind
- Configured with control features to maximize performance and ease-of-use
You can shop for off-the-shelf equipment and piece together a resin conveying system, but you may be in for a few surprises. To maximize the productivity of your facility, work with conveying experts on a complete material handling solution.
