Who We Are

Engineered Solutions For Reliable Material Processing

Carrier Vibrating Equipment is a global leader in vibratory processing technology and engineered material-handling solutions. For more than 70 years, we’ve helped industrial processors improve product quality, stabilize production, and increase operational efficiency. From vibrating conveyors and feeders to fluid bed dryers, coolers, and fully integrated processing systems – every Carrier machine is built for continuous-duty performance in the toughest environments.

What We Do

We design and manufacture vibrating equipment that ensures:

Stable, controlled material flow through conveyors and feeders

Uniform moisture and temperature control with advanced fluid bed drying and cooling systems

Energy-efficient thermal processing with optimized airflow and engineered vibration

Reliable handling of complex materials, including abrasive, sticky, fragile, or high-temperature products

Integrated process lines that streamline production end-to-end

Every solution is custom-engineered based on your material’s moisture content, temperature, bulk density, particle size, flow characteristics, and performance targets. This ensures consistent throughput, precise control, and long-term reliability.

Our Engineering Process

Every Carrier system goes through a rigorous development and validation process:

Material Testing & Analysis

Using real samples, our test lab evaluates moisture removal rates, particle behavior, thermal profiles, and material flow characteristics. This data guides system sizing and performance predictions.

Custom Design & Engineering

We create engineered solutions tailored to your space, throughput requirements, utility constraints, and downstream needs.

Fabrication & Quality Assurance

All equipment is manufactured using heavy-duty materials and undergoes strict quality checks to ensure long-term durability.

Installation & Commissioning

Our field teams handle installation, startup, tuning, and operator training to ensure peak performance on day one.

Ongoing Lifecycle Support

We provide maintenance audits, spare parts, retrofits, and performance evaluations to keep your line running at full efficiency.

Laboratory Testing & Innovation Center

Carrier and Carrier Process Equipment Group remove risk from capital projects by validating the process before any equipment is designed or purchased. In our dedicated 15,000-square-foot testing lab and Innovation Center, real customer materials are evaluated to confirm flow behavior, separation efficiency, heat transfer, and process performance under actual operating conditions. This upfront testing allows customers to partner with our engineers to optimize equipment selection, sizing, and integration early, ensuring the final system meets throughput, quality, and reliability targets while avoiding costly redesigns, delays, or underperforming equipment after installation.
