Purpose-built material handling solutions
Some material handling challenges don't fit standard categories. Unusually heavy loads, delicate materials requiring careful handling, cleanroom environments with contamination constraints, hazardous areas requiring special construction, or unique facility layouts that demand custom routing and positioning — these applications require engineering from scratch, not catalog selection.
IMC approaches custom material handling the same way we approach custom converting equipment: understand the application, define the engineering requirements, design the solution, build it at our facility in Birmingham, and commission it at your site. Our experience with heavy precision machinery, PLC-based controls, and integration engineering provides the foundation for solving material handling problems that off-the-shelf systems cannot address.
Examples of custom solutions
Heavy roll handling systems for web converting facilities, cleanroom-compatible transfer systems for pharmaceutical and electronics manufacturing, automated staging and accumulation systems for batch processing operations, and facility-specific conveyor routing designed around existing plant layouts and traffic patterns.
If your material handling challenge is unique, our engineering team is ready to discuss it. The best starting point is a conversation about your facility, your materials, your workflow, and your goals.
