Durable products that help you get the most out of your conveyor systems and pyro-process.

When business is booming for the construction industry, production lines at cement plants can’t move fast enough. At these times, keeping up with your customers' demands is a welcome challenge. For you, that means nothing is more important than keeping material moving through the crushers, preheaters, clinker coolers and kilns, all the way to the storage silos as efficiently as possible.

At Martin Engineering, we manufacture durable products that efficiently transport bulk materials like limestone, gypsum, clinker and coal for customers located throughout the world. So we know how your bulk materials handling processes work, the types of problems you encounter every day and, most important, how to solve them.

Air Cannons Drastically Reduce Unscheduled Outages At Cement Plant
A plant produces over a million tons of cement every year. Due to the large production volumes, material was building up on the raw feed material inlet chute to the feedshelf in the preheat tower. The plant was incurring unscheduled outages due to buildup and blockages, costing tens of thousands of dollars per year.

Air Cannons Improve Material Flow While Optimizing Limited Space
Workers at a cement plant were experiencing some difficulties achieving their volume needed due to the preheater's spoon. The issue developed because the number of air cannons needed to keep the material flowing was limiting the physical space. The plant realized they needed to find a solution that would promote material flow while optimizing space.

Air Cannons Eliminate Need For Water Blasting
A plant used water blasting to remove material buildups from the pre-heater tower’s riser duct. Personnel were required to open access doors into the tower twice a day to remove the accumulations with a high-pressure water spray. The water blasting caused production problems, dropping lumps into the kiln feed, downgrading kiln efficiency and clinker quality.

Durability. Reliability. Efficiency.

As the recognized leader in air cannon technology, you can count on us to solve your biggest challenges.
As the recognized leader in air cannon technology, you can count on us to solve your biggest challenges affecting your preheaters and kilns.

In your business, when equipment failure causes an unexpected shutdown, the consequences can be disastrous. If the wrong piece of equipment breaks down – like the conveyor to the front-end grinder or the air cannons that keep material moving through the preheaters and kilns – the whole operation can go down. When fugitive material spills from the conveyor belt, it can't be recovered and re-used so that spillage equals lost profits. That’s why the equipment you count on every day has to be designed and engineered to work when it’s supposed to, and to be durable enough to last.

Currently, thousands of long-time Martin customers rely on our products because they work hard and they keep working for a long time. We want you to be as confident in our products as they are, and that’s why we back our equipment up with a 100% Money-Back Guarantee.

So whatever challenge you may be facing, we have most likely seen it, figured out the solution, and tested it to make sure that it works! And if you have a problem we’ve never seen, we love new challenges! Contact a Martin representative to find out how we can apply our decades of cement industry experience to solving your problems today!
