Projects

Real equipment, built by CIP. Every project is different. Here's a sample of what we've delivered.

After
Featured Project • Conveyor Retrofit
Conveyor Incline Retrofit, Food Processing Facility, San Antonio Area
The Problem

CIP had originally built and installed this conveyor. Months later, the customer's line plans changed and new equipment no longer fit the existing incline angle.

CIP Solution

Rather than sell a replacement, CIP engineered a pivot modification so the incline angle could be adjusted on the customer's existing unit.

Result

Modified and returned in less than one week, no downtime, and the line was running with the new configuration on schedule.

Custom Fabrication

Mobile Weigh, Price & Label Station , Meat Processing Facility, Texas

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.

Load Cell Fabrication & Installation , San Antonio, 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.
