Bring receiving, feeding, conveying and discharge together in a coordinated material-handling system. UniTrak combines its conveying and bulk bag equipment with selected ancillary components to protect your product, manage material flow and connect the process around your throughput, layout and operating requirements.
Receiving, feeding, conveying, screening, weighing and controls are selected around the material, transfer route and agreed equipment scope.
Bagstander equipment, bag dumps, hoppers and inlet arrangements can connect material receiving with downstream equipment.
Feeders are selected according to the material, conveyor and process. TipTrak and KleanTrak require controlled feeding. UniFlex and Powderflight can be hopper-charged or flood fed; separate metering equipment may still be appropriate for batching or process control.
TipTrak, Powderflight, KleanTrak and UniFlex provide different conveying principles for the material-handling requirement.
Selected screeners or sifters can connect with upstream and downstream material-handling equipment.
Load cells, discharge equipment and controls can be integrated into selected material-handling arrangements for weighing and batching.
Inlet and discharge connections, supports, interlocks and local controls are selected to coordinate the material-handling equipment and specified interfaces.
Tell us where the material starts, what needs to happen to it and where it needs to go. We will help determine the right combination of equipment.
Each system is engineered around the material, transfer route and agreed equipment scope.
Material characteristics and required transfer rate guide equipment selection.
Receiving method, conveying distance, elevation changes and discharge destinations define the arrangement.
Product-contact materials, cleaning access and containment provisions are selected around the application.
Conveyors, bulk bag handling equipment and ancillary components connect with the specified upstream and downstream equipment.
Local controls, interlocks, operating sequences and interfaces with plant controls are established within the project scope.
Purchasing individual pieces of equipment from different suppliers can leave the customer responsible for resolving mechanical interfaces, material-flow problems and operating requirements.
An integrated UniTrak system brings the core conveying equipment and selected ancillary components together into a coordinated package.
The result is a material-handling arrangement designed around the complete transfer requirement rather than individual machines operating in isolation.
Reliable conveying depends on consistent feeding and discharge.
Poorly designed transitions, uncontrolled feeding and material buildup can reduce throughput or create operating problems.
By considering feeders, hoppers, valves and conveying equipment together, UniTrak can develop arrangements that help regulate material flow throughout the system.
Powders, granules, pellets and fragile products behave differently when handled.
Some materials flow freely, while others bridge, cake, compact, generate dust or break during transfer.
UniTrak considers these characteristics when selecting conveying equipment and designing the associated feeding, discharge and transfer components.
Where appropriate, material testing can help establish how a product behaves before equipment is selected.
Even relatively small material-handling systems can require considerable coordination when several pieces of equipment must operate together.
UniTrak can take responsibility for the equipment and interfaces within its agreed material-handling scope, helping customers reduce the engineering and coordination required to assemble the system.
We can work directly with manufacturers or alongside their engineering teams and system integrators.
Different industries have different material-handling requirements, but the underlying challenge is often the same: moving materials reliably between production stages.
UniTrak develops integrated material-handling arrangements around the characteristics of the material, required throughput, plant layout and operating conditions.
Food manufacturers frequently need to receive, weigh, screen, convey and elevate dry ingredients before they enter mixers, blenders or packaging equipment.
