Custom stainless steel enclosure and conveyor support stand engineered for a CTM 3600a printer applicator in a food production environment. Designed to spec, fabricated in-house, and delivered turnkey.
Note: Conveyors shown were already in line. CIP scope was the enclosure, support stand, and controls. Conveyors shown were supplied by others.
We source from industry-leading suppliers that food and beverage manufacturers already know and trust.
No standard catalog. Every system is engineered to your exact application, layout, and requirements.
Purpose-built for your product, your layout, and your industry. Not off-the-shelf, built to spec.
Every conveyor we build starts with your layout, your product, and your specs. These are examples of completed systems and designs from our Garden Ridge fabrication shop.
Seal-welded 304 stainless construction, wash-down rated, open-frame sanitary design. Built for direct-food-contact environments with cleanability and compliance at the core.
Straight-run flat belt systems for general product transport. Custom lengths, widths, and belt materials including modular plastic, urethane, and sanitary fabrics.
Intralox and compatible modular plastic belting for washdown, heavy-load, and specialty applications. Easy to clean, long service life, available in multiple configurations.
Custom radius turns and curved sections to navigate your facility layout. Designed to maintain product orientation and belt tracking through tight and wide-radius turns.
Elevate or lower products between work levels. Engineered for your angle, product weight, and belt type with appropriate guarding and cleated belting where needed.
Workstation conveyors designed for inspection, de-bagging, and quality control checkpoints. Integrated work surfaces, ergonomic heights, and adjustable guiding.
Conveyor systems with integrated scale platforms, digital weight indicators, and touchscreen HMI mounting. Built for in-line weighing and data capture.
Vertical and Z-style product elevation with enclosed frame construction. Custom bucket spacing and belt configuration for your product and throughput requirements.
End-of-line conveyor systems for tray loading, packaging, and case handling. Configurable for your production speed, product size, and packaging format.
Zero-pressure and minimum-pressure accumulation for buffering product flow between line segments. Reduces line pressure and protects fragile products.
Multi-conveyor systems spanning an entire production line. Full layout engineering, 3D design, and turnkey delivery from our Garden Ridge fabrication shop.
Converts wide multilane product flow into a single-file stream for downstream packaging, labeling, or checkweighing. Custom-engineered to your product dimensions, line speed, and lane count. Built in stainless or carbon steel to match your environment.
Custom solutions for every corner of your facility , built for durability, ergonomics, and your specific workflow.
Multi-operator and single-operator workstations built to reduce fatigue, improve safety, and increase throughput. Designed for your product and your team.
Durable stainless and structural steel storage and workspace solutions for flexible, efficient plant operations. Built for your load capacity and floor environment.
Precision weighing systems for production lines, shipping, and receiving. Custom platforms and integration with your existing production and ERP systems.
Integration and custom support structures for laser, inkjet, and label application systems. We build the enclosures, stands, and integration hardware that make the equipment work in your line.
Heavy-duty dumpers designed for safe, efficient lifting and emptying of combos, bins, and totes. Custom-built to your container dimensions and dump height requirements.
From a single custom component to a fully automated production line, we handle every part of the build including controls, integration, and commissioning.
Tailored automation solutions built around your production needs. We start with your problem, not a catalog.
Single system or full production line integration. We make new equipment work with what you already have on the floor.
Stairs, catwalks, tables, enclosures, platforms , whatever your facility needs fabricated in stainless steel, we build it.
Professional design services, drawings, and consulting to bring your project from concept to fabrication-ready specs.
Expert controls programming and sensor integration for optimal line performance and data visibility.
Precision weighing systems designed to your production requirements, including custom platforms and system integration.
Real equipment, built by CIP. Every project is different. Here's a sample of what we've delivered.
A San Antonio meat processing plant needed a complete, turnkey scale conveyor solution to improve throughput and accuracy on their production line. CIP handled the full scope: system design and 3D engineering, custom stainless conveyor fabrication, scale integration, touchscreen HMI mounting, controls wiring, delivery, and onsite installation and commissioning.
The finished system includes multiple conveyor sections with integrated scale displays, touchscreen workstations, and modular plastic belting , all built to sanitary standards suited for a meat processing environment.
A Texas food manufacturer needed a sanitary stainless steel enclosure to house a CTM 3600a thermal transfer printer applicator on their production line. CIP designed and fabricated the enclosure, conveyor support stand, and all associated controls and wiring. The enclosure features a lift-up lid, full internal wiring, and a stainless finish suited for a food production environment.
Note: CIP scope was the enclosure, support stand, and controls. Conveyors shown were supplied by others.
A Texas meat processor needed a flexible weighing and labeling solution that could move with their operation rather than stay fixed to one location on the floor. Their existing setup lacked mobility and made it difficult to adapt to changing line configurations and product flow.
CIP designed and fabricated a heavy-duty stainless steel mobile stand integrating a touchscreen PC, high-speed thermal label printer, digital weight indicator, and a floor-level scale platform , all on a wheeled frame that moves easily across the facility floor. CIP sourced and procured the PC, printer, and scale components from trusted suppliers, engineered and fabricated the custom stainless steel structure and all mounting hardware, and integrated everything into a single turnkey mobile unit.
A San Antonio bottling and beverage manufacturer needed new conveyor systems and modifications to existing conveyors to improve throughput and product handling efficiency on their production line. CIP handled the full scope from design through delivery and installation.
CIP designed and fabricated new custom conveyors to fit the facility layout, and modified existing conveyors by adding custom-fabricated plastic guards to reduce product loss and improve line flow. All work was engineered and built in-house at the CIP shop in Garden Ridge, TX.
A San Antonio manufacturer needed new load cells fabricated and installed on their existing production equipment. CIP handled the full scope: custom fabricating the load cell mounting hardware to spec, then deploying a field team to install and integrate the new components on-site.
This project is a good example of CIP's combined fabrication and field installation capability. Our team fabricated the custom steel mounting plates and components in our Garden Ridge shop, then completed the on-site installation and welding at the customer's San Antonio facility with minimal disruption to their operation.
