What US Conveyor Technologies Mfg does

US Conveyor Technologies Mfg, Inc. is a privately held industrial equipment manufacturer and custom system design firm based in Mackinaw, Illinois, operating from a 40,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility. Founded in 1988 by Kent Graves, the company builds heavy-duty material handling equipment for the scrap and recycling industry, organized into six core product lines: shredder infeeds (up to 200 ft, 96-112 inch widths, 40-350 ton-per-hour throughput), belt conveyors (up to 8 ft belt widths), vibratory conveyors, batch feeders (2-70 ton-per-hour flow rates), trommels (40-120 inch barrel diameters), and specialty conveyors including container loaders and stacking conveyors.

Underlying technology centers on custom engineering integration: the company uses 3D laser scanning for precise site surveys, custom 2D/3D CAD design, 3D printing for prototyping, and proprietary polyurethane hi-load support tires in trommel designs. Customer-problem framing emphasizes heavy scrap handling, durability, limited-space system design, and seamless upgrades to existing metal recovery lines. Equipment is delivered in 8-12 week build cycles.

The business model is direct, sales-led, quote-based, multi-year industrial equipment sales plus value-add system design services. Pricing is determined per build by specifications, with no standardized SKU pricing. Customers include scrap yards, recycling facilities, electronic recyclers, and heavy metal recyclers. Distribution is purely direct via phone and website; shipments are made worldwide. End customers and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
