What CVIC does
CVIC Inc., founded in 1982 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, manufactures customized equipment and solutions for the iron ore pelletizing industry. Operating through its wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary Tangshan CVIC Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and an international R&D footprint spanning Canada and China, CVIC supplies a comprehensive equipment portfolio covering the three major pelletizing process technologies — shaft furnace, grate-kiln, and straight grate. Core products include roller screens/feeders, pelletizing discs, wide belt conveyors, reciprocating belt conveyors, undersize/oversize belt conveyors, disc feeders, double pendulum flaps, and an industrial ceramics line of wear-resistant consumables (rollers, scrapers, lining bricks, fused silica products). Patented ceramic roller technology, including the 2013-patented Abrasive Resistance Ceramic Liner Plate Disk Feeder, anchors CVIC's technical differentiation.
The company sells predominantly to large enterprise customers — integrated steel producers (Shougang Jingtang, HBIS Group, ArcelorMittal, Hoa Phat) and EPC contractors (SINOSTEEL International, Outotec, BSIET) — via direct field sales and quote-based pricing, with revenue generated through one-time equipment sales, spare parts (3,000+ SKUs, 10-year guarantee), and after-sales services including installation, training, and maintenance. Its installed base of 3,000+ equipment sets across 300+ projects in 20+ countries, combined with ISO 9001:2015 certification, R&D centers recognized by the Hebei Provincial Government, and a consistent 3% of revenue reinvested in R&D, reflects a mature, niche-focused industrial equipment OEM with global reach concentrated in the iron and steel supply chain.

Brands
- CVIC Industrial Ceramics: Specializes in R&D, manufacturing, and sales of wear-resistant ceramic rollers, ceramic scrapers, ceramic lining bricks, physicochemical ceramics, fused silica products, ceramic tubes, and special-shaped ceramics for the iron ore pelletizing industry and other primary industries.
Products and services
- Roller Screen/Feeder Heavy-duty roller screening equipment for accurate size separation of iron ore pellets in pelletizing plants. Available in single, double, or triple deck configurations with adjustable roller gaps for separating undersize, on-size, and oversize pellets. Designed for continuous operation in demanding pelletizing environments.
- Wide Belt Conveyor Heavy-duty conveying solution specifically designed for green pellet handling in iron ore pelletizing plants. Collects pellets from reciprocating head belt conveyors and delivers them to roller screens, featuring extra-wide belt design for stable pellet flow and minimal breakage.
- Reciprocating Belt Conveyor Heavy-duty conveyor for transporting and distributing green pellets from transfer belt conveyors to wide belt conveyors. Features hydraulic drive unit for reciprocating movements designed to minimize green pellet breakage during transport.
- Undersize & Oversize Belt Conveyor Belt conveyors for collecting undersize pellets (typically <9mm) and oversize pellets (typically >16mm) that fail sizing criteria. Separated pellets are recycled back to the green pelletizing area for reprocessing.
- Pelletizing Disc Core equipment for converting fine iron ore concentrate into uniform green pellets. Uses controlled rotation and adjustable inclination with regulated water and binder addition to agglomerate particles into spherical pellets for downstream screening and induration.
- Double Pendulum Flap Also known as double dump/discharge valves. Designed for controlled discharging of large particle size or high-temperature materials from silos, bins, or hoppers in heavy-duty applications. Used for continuous dosing, blocking, and discharging of bulk materials in pelletizing plants.
- Disc Feeder Volumetric feeding device used in pelletizing and sintering plants. Composed of driving device, machine frame, disk device, and motor. Achieves uniform feeding through gear-driven disc rotation with adjustable material layer regulation.
- Industrial Ceramics Wear-resistant ceramic products including ceramic rollers for roller screens and belt conveyors, ceramic scrapers (rotary and edge types) for disc pelletizers, ceramic lining bricks, physicochemical ceramics, ceramic tubes, special-shaped ceramics, and fused silica products used in iron ore pelletizing and other primary industries.
- After-Sales Service and Spare Parts Supply Lifecycle support including installation and start-up support, training, emergency assistance, field support, routine and preventative maintenance procedures, plus spare parts supply with a 10-year spare parts guarantee backed by 3,000+ unique parts in stock.

It is an adjacent player that competes with CVIC's Industrial Ceramics sub-brand in wear liners, ceramic rollers, and abrasion-resistant components for primary industries.
Broad incumbents
- ANDRITZ: ANDRITZ is a global process equipment supplier with a separation and minerals division that supplies screens, filters, and process equipment used in mining and metals. It overlaps with CVIC in process plant equipment for primary industries, though with a much broader portfolio.
- Primetals Technologies: Primetals Technologies supplies metallurgical plant equipment, including iron ore processing and agglomeration, serving integrated steel producers globally. It overlaps with CVIC on the steel mill side of the customer base and supplies comparable large-scale process equipment.
- ThyssenKrupp: ThyssenKrupp's Industrial Solutions division (formerly Uhde) supplies plant and equipment for mining, minerals, and steel, including historic strength in pelletizing technology. It is a broad incumbent competing in many of the same large iron ore pellet projects as CVIC.
- Danieli: Danieli is one of the world's largest suppliers of equipment and plants for the metals industry, with iron ore processing and steelmaking equipment lines. It competes for major pelletizing plant EPC scopes and supplies auxiliary equipment comparable to CVIC's conveyor and feeder products.
Regional players
- CITIC Heavy Industries: CITIC Heavy Industries is a major Chinese heavy machinery OEM serving mining, metallurgy, and cement with crushing, grinding, conveying, and rotary equipment. It is the closest large Chinese competitor to CVIC and frequently competes for pelletizing and mineral processing projects in China and emerging markets.
- Sumitomo Heavy Industries: Sumitomo Heavy Industries supplies industrial machinery including material handling and process equipment, with material handling and bulk handling systems that compete with CVIC's conveyor and feeder products in Asia.
