Product Design

CDI helps OEMs and Fabrication shops expand their product offerings. Our engineers help our OEM partners develop new pulleys, belts, brakes, and idlers. We help fabrication shops add new product offerings like radial stackers and shiftable conveyors to their portfolio.

Conveyor Pulleys

We use and sell our PSTRESS software to design high tension pulleys. This software uses a custom FEA to determine the main von Mises stresses and fatigue stresses.

Conveyor Idler Transoms

We have a complete library of idler transom designs including standard Imperial and Metric frames designs and our own "belt friendly" designs. More recently, our patented "ninja" design is a special transom that allows the rolls to be extracted while the covneyor is running.

Conveyor Triangular Truss

Our lightweight triangular truss has been utilized on a number of our proejcts in Africa and India. The structure provide significant weight savings over tradition covneyor box galleries

Conveyor Maintenance Trolley

CDI designs maintenance trolleys for standard box gallery and for our lightweight triangular frames. These trolleys eliminate the need for walkways, which reduces the structural load on the design. The end result is a gantry with a high strength / weight ratio.

Fabrication shop

If your farbication shop would like to expand into a new market, our engineers are here to help. We have help shops in the past add radial stackers and shiftable conveyors to their product lines.
