Services
Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Our pneumatic conveying systems use industrial fans and ductwork to move materials efficiently. Designed for explosive dust, fragile components, or high-volume applications, these systems minimize moving parts and energy use. Clients benefit from reduced maintenance costs and enhanced safety in industries ranging from automotive to food processing.
System Audits
Comprehensive system audits evaluate electrical, mechanical, and material flow performance. Engineers identify root causes of inefficiencies and provide actionable reports with cost estimates. Clients receive half-cost credit toward implementation if Compass performs the repairs, ensuring transparent, results-driven solutions.
Custom Fabrication
Custom components are fabricated in our 75,000 sq. ft. facility using laser-cutting and advanced welding. Systems integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, backed by a 12-month warranty. Precision engineering ensures compatibility with upstream/downstream processes for industries like aerospace and recycling.
Construction Management
OSHA-certified project managers handle global installations, coordinating vendors and compliance with local codes. Services range from full supervision to partial support, ensuring on-time delivery and budget adherence. Expertise spans mechanical/electrical integration and safety protocol implementation for complex material handling systems.
24/7 Service and Maintenance
Factory-trained technicians provide 24/7 maintenance to minimize downtime. Spare parts inventory programs and annual contracts ensure system longevity. Cross-functional teams offer improvement recommendations during service, combining technical expertise with operational insights for optimal system performance.
