Conveying Systems
We engineer and supply complete material handling systems for both unit handling and bulk conveying applications. Our in-house team designs systems that move boxes, bags, grains, powders, and aggregates with efficiency and precision. From belt and screw conveyors to drag chains and bucket elevators, IBT delivers the components and integration support you need to keep your facility flowing smoothly.
Robotics
Our Robotics Division provides engineered robotic systems for palletizing, case packing, machine tending, and more—using both industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots). We tailor each robotic cell to your production requirements, integrating it with upstream conveyors, downstream packaging, and your facility’s automation architecture. Whether you’re looking to reduce labor, increase throughput, or improve precision, we design smart, safe robotic systems that deliver ROI.
Automation Systems
IBT’s Automation Division delivers facility-wide system integration, unifying conveyors, robotics, motion, and packaging under one intelligent controls platform. We specialize in fixed automation equipment—such as case erectors, stretch wrappers, labelers, and bulk packaging lines—alongside sophisticated controls architecture. Every automation system we build is tailored to your products, layout, and performance goals.
Motion Control
Our Motion Control Division provides the components and engineering behind precise, repeatable motion—including drives, motors, actuators, and controllers. From simple conveyor speed control to complex multi-axis positioning and feedback loops, we create systems that bring machines to life. We also integrate fluid power and pneumatics, combining electric and air-powered motion control where it makes sense for your application.
Grain & Bulk Material Handling Equipment
We design and supply bulk material handling systems for grain processors, flour mills, feed lots, ethanol plants, and aggregate facilities. Our engineers select the right conveying technology—drag chain, screw, belt, or pneumatic—to handle your specific material properties and process needs. IBT also stocks and supplies all necessary components, from idlers and pulleys to gearboxes and elevator buckets.
