Mechanical Conveying Q&A
-
We often get requests for conveyors. We make spouts, gates, diverters, positioners, dust collectors and air slides. We load dry bulk materials into trailers, railcars, barges , ships, etc. Is there a list of conveyor manufacturers in the Midwest that you can suggest?Answered February 13th, 2012 by Expert:All of the major screw conveyor manufacturers are active members of CEMA, The Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association. The CEMA website is www.cemanet.org. Each screw conveyor manufacturer that is a CEMA member will be listed with their contact information. You can also call the CEMA office and speak with one of the staff. The CEMA staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They will be able to direct you to a screw conveyor manufacturer in your area. Almost every screw conveyor manufacturer has an office or sales representation in the Midwest. Also, the CEMA staff will help you locate belt conveyor manufacturers as well as companies that make accessories for the bulk material handling industry. Since your company is a manufacturer of conveying systems and components then you may qualify to be a CEMA member. Being a CEMA member has many advantages. The main goal or mission of CEMA is to advance the conveying industry by creating technical and safety standards. You will also gain knowledge on industry trends and any legal issues that may affect your business.
